About this book

.NET is not just for Windows anymore! This unprecedented book examines the advantages of building portable, cross-platform.NET code. Even if you are only vaguely familiar with .NET, with the aid of this book, you'll quickly learn how to run .NET code on different platforms.

You may run code among the Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows platforms. And you'll get to choose among Mono (for Linux), Portable.NET (for Mac OS X), and of course, .NET for Windows. What's more, authors Mark Easton and Jason King pack the book with example code and wisdom, providing you a well-rounded skill set. Based on years of personal .NET experience, the authors share years of expertise—dos, don'ts, pitfalls, gotchas, and insights in the convenience of a single, handy book.

About the authors

Jason King is a senior programmer and computer consultant who has worked with .NET since its first release. In the past, King also worked with Linux and Mac OS X, making him an ideal author for a book spanning three different sets of tools on three different operating systems. Like Mark Easton, King too has a deliciously twisted sense of humor.
