If you’re wondering where to get started with the Shared Source CLI, whether you want to get caught up with what’s been going on, or if you want to get plugged in, check out Joel Pobar’s excellent list of Rotor community resources.
Jono’s Blog: “One year ago today, in New Orleans, Bill Gates officially launched the .NET Compact Framework.”
Sam’s
giving a CLR talk at the NH .NET User’s Group and is
promising plenty of Rotor and no VS.NET. Raw, naked, CLR.
I’ve posted some
notes from the The First Mono
Developer Meet over at my O’Reilly Network weblog.
Russell
Beattie: “Already here in the U.S. I can get a Microsoft device from
every major carrier. That’s pretty good penetration for a company that’s
supposed to be an also-ran in the mobile market.”
David
Stutz: “Demand for simple, standardized, formats will overcome the
advantages that once clearly favored Microsoft technology. Historically,
the appearance of multiple sources for a commodity, multiple methods of
production, and multiple markets, almost completely eliminates the power
of the original producing culture, whether that culture is spice
gatherers in the West Indies or global corporations.”
There’s an interesting thread going on about packaging Mono for Mac OS X. This post by Andy Satori has some tasty tidbits:
With XCode, I currently have a C# language filter defined so that XCode can parse the functions and color C# files. I also have a Makefile based project template for building a C# application in XCode. I’m now working on enhancing that to be a part of the XCode native build system, instead of the old Project Builder, jam based, build system.
This will improve the error parsing and display, as well as allow you to use the much more powerful Info panels in XCode to set up your build environments. After that, it is my intent to build a library of templates for XCode to setup your basic projects, much like VS.NET.
I can’t wait to check that out…

Ingo
Rammer points out some UML shapes for
Visio that don’t get in your face about how they think things should
be done–you can just draw and type.
(making something from a while back a little easier to find): Web
applications are complex entities with many interconnections that are
not obvious. Often, these interconnections are added in an ad hoc
fashion, and are poorly planned and never documented. After introducing
the established object-oriented analysis and design tools UML and
patterns, this
tutorial looks at how they can be applied to building web database
applications.
