Mono VB.Net Compiles “Hello World”
One of my favorite moments at the last PDC occurred just after a few of us (i.e. Shaun Walker, myself and a couple of other DotNetNuke Core Team members) had stopped by the fulfillment room to pick up The Goods. Just outside, we bumped into Miguel de Icaza. For the next ~10 minutes, primarily Shaun and Miguel schmoozed about Open Source and such. It was fascinating to be in the company of such Open Source pioneers. Enough reminiscing…
Today, Miguel posted on his blog that the Mono VBN compiler had successfully built “Hello World” on Linux. This is huge and opens up some amazing possibilities for DNN. I realize it’s a long way off, but this brings the possibility of an unmodified DNN on a LAMP or similar stack that much closer.
