What is Mono?
Mono (mō•nō), n:
1. A complete and modern development platform for Linux
2. The necessary software to develop and run .NET client and
server applications on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows,
and Unix
3. A thriving open source project with a growing community

What Can You Do with Mono?

● Migrate Microsoft .NET desktop and server applications to Linux
without significant investment in rewriting code
● Target multiple platforms and increase addressable market
● Leverage existing expertise in computer languages for more
efficient development
