| Simple Hello World(wmv) - [direct] - [cached] | ||
| For as simple and ubiquitous as Hello World applications are, it sometimes helps to be able to see it being done. This video goes through the process of starting up the Monodevelop IDE, creating the C# project, compiling it and running it. | ||
| Running Hello World in Windows(wmv) - [direct] - [cached] | ||
| One of the most exciting aspects of running Mono is that it's open source and can be run on Linux systems as well as Mac. It should need to run on Windows if it's going to be truly cross platform. This video demonstrates our Hello World sample application being run on Windows. It goes through the process of starting Samba Server so that our Monoppix file system is accessible by Windows and then ends up with running the application. | ||
