Is full .net development possible on MonoDevelop?

Question

linux

Good afternoon, dear development gurus
, can you please tell me if there are successful cases of using MonoDevelop for .net development? How well does the Mono platform and the MonoDevelop environment on Linux support the features of the Windows version? Of particular interest is how complete Java support is in MonoDevelop.

Answer 1

There is also Visual Studio Code 2015 for Linux with partial Java support

Answer 2

As far as I know, there are successful projects written under Mono, unfortunately I don’t remember examples right away, but I think that you can google it without difficulty.
Due to the fact that .NET is now "opensource" ( https://github.com/dotnet ), it may be worth considering writing directly in .NET, and not in Mono.

Answer 3

Let me tell you, there are success stories. For example, I develop all side-projects under Mac OS in Xamarin Studio (similar to MonoDevelop). But these are all either console or web applications. In particular, I made a site on MVC 4 + MySQL + Memcached and then it successfully ran under Ubuntu. I didn't notice any problems with P/Invoke (image processing via libfreeimage). I also worked with other databases - MongoDB and Postgres, also without any complaints.
To date, there are difficulties with a good web server under Mono (I had HyperFastCGI), but on a new platform with OWIN it should be better - there are already fast implementations.
Mono 4.0 is now replacing its own implementations in the BCL with Microsoft's, which gives reason to expect identical behavior.
As for the development environment itself, VS + Resharper is certainly more powerful than MonoDevelop. And there are much more extensions for the studio, and the debugger is more convenient and functional. But I personally like the process of writing code in MonoDevelop.
vNext I have not dug deep yet (which I am ashamed of), but it looks promising, again, for the console and web. As far as I understand, nobody is going to port WPF.

Answer 4

Java and even in MonoDevelop, :) can then immediately in Eclipse and not suffer with .NET? Why such masochism, write in java?
I wrote several programs for work in it under Linux, quickly and quite conveniently. It then started up under Windows without changes, but it was luck.
