XCode meets Mono

Wed, 21 Feb 2007 10:15:12 +0000

And… seems to be a nice meeting. ;) After a lot of development, the comunity surrounding the project realeases last stable version 1.2.3.1 of Mono.

What about [en:Mac_OS_X|Mac OS X]? Here is a dedicated page on the official wiki of Mono. And, in particular, I’m happy to highlight a tutorial/howto about XCode and Mono integration: CSharpPlugin.

I know that [en:Mono_(software)|Mono] is the open-source implementation of [en:.NET_Framework|.Net] (started by [en:Novell]), and that I hate [en:Microsoft|M$], but… I can’t hate a framework. It’s like to hate the [en:Plutonium] because we make the [en:Atomic_Bomb] with it! ;)

XGL: OpenGL sempre più prepotentemente sui nostri Desktop

XGL: tutti ne stanno parlando ultimamente. Ci sono articoli in ogni dove su XGL ma… che é? Prendiamo da Wikipedia:

Xgl is an X server architecture, started by David Reveman, layered on top of OpenGL via glitz. Some say that it is seen as the future of the X.Org Server, but some disagree because it requires a 3D graphics card. Although most PCs are nowadays shipped with such a card, most vendors (most notably NVIDIA and ATI Technologies) don’t provide open source drivers for their cards, which do not work on all computer architectures supported by the X.Org Server.

XGL is an X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL. It is at an early stage in development and a number of important pieces are still missing. Xglx is the only server yet that use this architecture, it requires an already existing X server and is only intended for testing and development.

Because of a slow “development process”, Novell decides to migrate the CVS of the Project and to make it private, paying developers to “speed up” the process.
