Mono

The most up-to-date books on Mono are:

  • APress: Practical Mono (http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10027): Mark Mamone

The following covers an older version of Mono (a few years old):

  • English: Mono Kickstart (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672325799/ref=pd_sim_b_1/102-2260035-7729704?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance)

There is an online guide in this web site, the Monkeyguide
