2 0 Introduction 0 ASP.NET 0 Web Services and Communication 0 Microsoft Visual Studio Mono 0 Support and Usage Metrics

3 .NET What is.net? 0 Framework for developing software in Microsoft Windows 0 Large library 0 Several languages supported, allows language interoperability 0 Initial Release: February, Current Version:.NET 4.0

4 C# and VB.NET C# 0 Syntax extremely similar to Java and C 0 Extremely common language for Windows development VB.NET 0 Relatively easy to learn 0 Friendly for non developers to use

5 Lambda Expressions 0 Greatly reduce the amount of code needed 0 Supported starting in.net Custom Sorting! (a,b) => a.length.compareto(b.length); Nothing like it in Java, planned for JDK 8, not until late 2012

6 0 Introduction 0 ASP.NET 0 Web Services and Communication 0 Microsoft Visual Studio Mono 0 Support and Usage Metrics

7 ASP.NET What is it? 0 Web application framework 0 Supports dynamic websites, web applications, and web services 0 Developer can use any.net language

8 ASP.NET Browser requests ASP.NET `ile IIS 1 passes request to ASP.NET engine on the server Engine reads the `ile line by line and executes the scripts in the `ile ASP.NET `ile is returned to browser as plain HTML 1 IIS Internet Information Services

9 ASP.NET Pros 0 Can program in VB.NET, C#, Delphi.NET, Chrome, etc. 0 Can even use multiple languages in one application 0 Object oriented programming approach 0 Support for web services 0 Very easy to use XML support 0 Easy migration for windows developers to switch to web development

10 ASP.NET Cons 0 Microsoft platform needed for deployment 0 Not open source 0 Possibly steep learning curve

11 ASP.NET ASP.NET vs. PHP 0 ASP.NET is compiled where PHP is scripted 0 Room for better performance with compilation 0 Updates to ASP.NET are much more drastic than PHP so more effort is needed to keep up 0 Use ASP.NET if developers already have experience with Windows

12 0 Introduction 0 ASP.NET 0 Web Services and Communication 0 Microsoft Visual Studio Mono 0 Support and Usage Metrics

13 Web Services and Communication 0 Many modern web applications require the ability to interface with other applications 0 SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) 0 Sends commands to a single server via POST in XML documents 0 Single endpoint 0 REST (Representational State Transfer) 0 Uses the web's infrastructure (like URLs) to send commands 0 Distributable endpoint

14 Web Services and Communication 0 (WCF) Windows Communication Foundation API 0 Supports SOAP natively and REST with add on package 0 Other 3rd party packages 0 XML Parsing (ex. Chilkat) 0 Can integrate other services 0 ex: Google Maps 0 ex: Amazon Store

15 0 Introduction 0 ASP.NET 0 Web Services and Communication 0 Microsoft Visual Studio Mono 0 Support and Usage Metrics

16 Visual Studio Microsoft s Solution to Development 0 A collection of products integrated into one environment ranging from design to deployment. 0 Divided into packages such as Visual Studio Ultimate, Premium, Professional and Express.

17 Development Made Easy Visual Studio 2010 Pros 0 Allows for development in multiple languages for multiple platforms. i.e. PC, XBOX and Windows 7 phone 0 Easy project creation and management. 0 Easy design and deployment of ASP.NET applications 0 Intellisense advanced code completion. 0 Easy layout management 0 Great technical support.

18 Maybe Not That Easy Visual Studio 2010 Cons 0 Proprietary. 0 It s not cheap either ranges from $800 $ Large overhead for small projects. 0 Heavy resource consumption.

19 .NET and Visual Studio 0.NET 4 SDK development optimized in Visual Studio. 0 Visual Studio has support for ALL.NET languages C#, ASP.NET, VB.NET, etc.. 0 Microsoft products play well together.

20 0 Introduction 0 ASP.NET 0 Web Services and Communication 0 Microsoft Visual Studio Mono 0 Support and Usage Metrics

21 Hypothetical Situation 0 Economic recession forces your company to reduce costs. You look into Linux because not only is it free, but it has free, open source software leading to signi`icant cost reductions. 0 Your code base contains various.net applications critical to your business. 0 Your business employs developers skilled in.net and VS. Either employ new developers (costs go up) or push current developers out of their comfort zone leading to a learning curve, initial mistakes (costs go up) 0 Problem:.NET applications do not run in the Linux environment

22 An open source implementation of.net framework. A software platform designed to promote easy development of cross platform.net applications.

23 Options, options, options Portability 0 Develop and run.net applications on Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, BSD, Sun Solaris, Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3, Apple iphone 0 Mono is cross platform itself. It runs on the aforementioned platforms Flexibility 0 Write code in your favourite programming language supported by CLR (Common Language Runtime). 0 Code is interoperable between CLR languages.

24 Hassle Free Installation 0 Linux Distribution packages (apt get) or manual source code compilation disclaimer: manual compilation probably isn t hassle free 0 Windows, OS X, BSD, Solaris Automated installers

25 Compatibility 0 Now supports everything included in.net 4.0 except: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), and Windows Forms (WF) 0 These features are projected to be completed in Mono 3.0 Olive 0 As well as supporting most of.net 4.0 features, Mono also has it s own extended frameworks

26 Mono Tools for Visual Studio 0 Microsoft Visual Studio plugin allows developers to create.net applications to deploy on mono enabled platforms. 0 Sets everything up for you Mono caters to web as well as desktop applications!

27 Mono for the Web Apache/Nginx Web Services/Consuming Database Connection

28 Apache: Mod_Mono 0 Mod_Mono is a module providing ASP.NET support for the widely used HTTP web server Apache. Socket:TCP host multiple independent applications 0 Mod_Mono passes ASP.NET page requests to external program, mod mono server which handles the request instead of apache.

29 Results 0 Can route speci`ic URL s to different mod mono server processes running under one virtual machine Example: testing server runs experimental code apart from production code. 0 Set speci`ic quotas (CPU, disk, memory) to different server processes 0 Mod_Mono Con`iguration Tool automatically generates conf.d `ile to deploy application immediately Con: works well for simple applications. Anything more complex requires extensive con`iguration text `ile tweaking

30 Porting Applications between OS 0 Web applications easier to port than desktop apps Complications mostly arise with data access, authentication, and other OS speciqic code and database migration (i.e. Microsoft SQL Server > PostgreSQL) MoMa (Mono Migration Analyzer) 0 Tool that helps identify platform speci`ic calls *MoMa might fail to report more complex problems or report problems which are not really issues. 0 Useful method to estimate the ease of porting your code base to the Mono framework before investing lots of time.
