Mono Tools for Visual Studio

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 16:29:12 -0600

Mono Tools for Visual Studio is an add-in module for Microsoft Visual Studio.

Mono Tools for Visual Studio is a commercial solution that enables developers to write .NET applications for non-Windows platforms within their familiar Visual Studio environment. It allows developers to build, debug and maintain commercial-quality .NET applications for Linux, UNIX and Mac OS X, while continuing to leverage the extensive .NET ecosystem of code, libraries, and tools.

Unlike other application porting approaches that require you to learn new programming tools and rewrite/re-architect applications, Mono Tools for Visual Studio gives you the ability to exploit .NET skills and leverage existing application and business knowledge to increase deployment flexibility and access new markets. In this way, developers can reduce development complexity, and businesses can increase revenue opportunities and avoid platform vendor lock-in.

Mono Tools for Visual Studio is provided as a Windows installer (.msi) that integrates Mono-specific menus and templates into Visual Studio, providing an integrated experience for analyzing, testing, debugging, and deploying .NET applications on Mono, for use on Linux, UNIX and Mac OS X. Additionally, pre-configured virtual machines and packages for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and openSUSE are provided to simplify configuration of target Linux platforms.

All product versions include a one-year subscription for product updates. Support resources for Mono Tools for Visual Studio are listed on the Mono Project website. Commercial support options for production deployments of Mono are also available with SUSE Linux Enterprise Mono Extension.

MonoTouch is a software development kit for Mac* OS X users to create native apps for the Apple* iPhone* and Apple iPod* Touch devices with .NET programming languages. MonoTouch allows developers to use the .NET framework (along with more efficient programming languages, such as C#), to create iPhone apps that take advantage of native iPhone APIs. By allowing developers to reuse code and libraries that have been written for .NET, as well as leverage existing .NET skills, MonoTouch helps increase productivity and reduce time to market. Developers can test MonoTouch apps on the both iPhone Simulator and physical hardware, and can distribute MonoTouch apps via the Apple App Store.

Novell Open Workgroup Suite, Linux, 1-User, 1-Year Subscription Priority Maintenance

Thu, 22 May 2008 10:55:16 -0500

Product Description:

The Novell Open Workgroup Suite provides organizations of all sizes with a secure, flexible and cost-effective IT infrastructure and a proven set of workgroup services. Unlike a proprietary, Windows-centric solution, the Novell Open Workgroup Suite is made up of open, standards-based software. This suite offers a low-cost, open alternative to Microsoft and includes a complete infrastructure and productivity solution from the desktop to the server and includes the following components:

Novell Open Enterprise Server—industry-leading enterprise networking services
Novell GroupWise®—secure and reliable collaboration solution
Novell ZENworks® Suite—cross-platform systems-management tool
SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop—open source desktop
OpenOffice.org for Linux and Windows—open source productivity suite

With Novell Open Workgroup Suite, you have the tools to make your IT department more efficient and cost effective. In fact, the suite costs as little as one-third the price of an equivalent Microsoft product stack—and that's just on the licensing front. The long-term savings are even more compelling. Microsoft Vista, for example, will require you to upgrade most of your hardware. Novell Open Workgroup Suite is Linux-based and runs on the lower-cost commodity hardware you likely use today. It is also compatible with hundreds of low- or no-cost applications from the open source community. As a result, you can still get the functionality you need, but at a fraction of the price.

When it comes to streamlining management costs, Novell Open Workgroup Suite is unmatched. Most organizations run a mix of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, NetWare® or UNIX. The consolidated foundation of Novell Open Workgroup Suite simplifies administration across these platforms, and the suite's Novell ZENworks component automates most resource management tasks. Whatever your infrastructure, Novell Open Workgroup Suite helps you keep operational costs to a minimum.
