I want to write an application in windows environment. I will need mySql database to store data. I was planning to use visual studio .net 2008. Can I use mono for that purpose. Are there any mono applications that are developed for windows environment.

Awesome!

Jeff,
C# is very “enterprise-like” and quite verbose compared to Python. TBH I’m not the hugest fan of the language because of this. Mono supports other languages though including one that is similar to Python called Boo. It hasn’t got designer support in MonoDevelop AFAIK. IMO it’s a very underrated language, I never hear about it ever.

Some ideas for programs:
Guess the number (very easy)
A calculator
A wget frontend (might actually be useful)

Great job on these Tutorials Steven. While not personally a fan of mono simply because it is too java-like and not python-ish enough I do love to see this sort of thing. Flames aside, more programmers working on FLOSS is not a bad thing no matter how you look at it.

Keep up the good work.
