Mono Project News

EntitySpaces has announced a winner for their contest to write an application to run on Linux with Mono.

From their announcement:

If you are an EntitySpaces customer, you can now travel anywhere. From Windows, to Mono/Linux solutions, to the Compact Framework and all kinds of wireless devices, to Web Applications including "Medium Trust" support, or to high-end Enterprise Applications, EntitySpaces can take you there. EntitySpaces is truly a tiny, lightweight, powerful architecture for the Microsoft.NET Framework, and uses zero reflection. If you are a Mono developer, EntitySpaces is a terrific architecture for you. With it, you can work on both sides of the isle. Our database independence can free you from most of the complexities of supporting many types of databases, including those that run under Mono, such as MySQL and VistaDB. No longer will you have to invent new architectures with every new challenge that comes down the road.

Our contest winner goes by the title Pro.Coder, and is a independent contractor. We have received his entry to our Mono contest, and were quite pleased. Pro.Coder sent us a DVD with the EntitySpaces demo running under Mono. Thank you Pro.Coder, you did an excellent job. An image of it is shown below. Pro.Coder added the CRUD and DynamicQuery Join examples, to satisfy our contest requirements.

Read their announcement for details on how Pro.Coder got started with Mono. It details what they downloaded (EntitySpaces, Mono, MySQL connector, VMWare Player, Mono VMware image), which versions of the software they used, how they imported the database and how they were able to deliver the application.
