C# in LInux ,iOS and Android


c# programming in linux ,is not very developed compared tto that in windows . we do not want to completely skip it ,so we will give some guidelines on how to start C# in LInux ,iOS and Android.

The most important thing that we need in order to write c# code  in linux is a .Net Framework implementation .Microsoft  .Net framework is not available for linux but there is an open-source .Net implementation called "mono".



We can download Mono at its official website: http://www.mono-project.com.Mono allows us to compile and execute C# programs in a Linux environment and on other operating systems.It contains a C# compiler, a CLR, a garbage collector, the standard .NET libraries and many of the libraries available for .NET Framework in Windows like Windows Forms and ASP.NET.Mono supports compiling and running C# code not only in Linux but also in Solaris, Mac OS X, iOS (iPhone / iPad) and Android.The iOS version (MonoTouch) and the Android version of Mono (Mono for Android) are commercial projects, while Mono for Linux is open-source free software.

Of course, Visual Studio does not work in Linux environment but we can use the #Develop or MonoDevelop as C# IDE in Linux.
