| Real World Mono |
Now that you understand that Mono’s implementation of .NET is still a work-in-progress it’s important to reflect on how much has been accomplished by the talented programmers contributing to this effort. A good example of the progress Mono has made toward providing a viable cross platform ASP.NET implementation is found in the fact that a number of Microsoft’s sample applications including IBuySpy work unmodified on Mono. As for performance, although Microsoft’s C# compiler generates more performant code is currently more performant than that produced by mono’s C# compiler the gap is closing rapidly. In addition, Mono’s support for Visual Basic.NET is shaping up quite nicely.
Even though Mono has yet to reach a 1.0 release at least one hosting provider, http://www.monohosting.net/, has committed to providing low-cost ASP.NET hosting using Mono. In the meantime, you can experiment with this interesting technology and even contribute to the project yourself if you are so inclined. For more information on how you can help Mono develop into the powerful cross-platform development tool it may well become just click on this link: http://www.go-mono.com/contributing.html |

The article was of great interest to the developers like us who has the expertise of developing an application in .Net and wish to port the same across different platform.
Do continue to write similar articles but also test some .Net application on Mono. Because there is still some ????????s on the compatibility of the two.

The provider that is listed there has gone out of business. However, there are other providers now. At least one of which has been in business for over 5 years...
For the latest list of providers supporting Mono:
