Today I decided to try converting my script-based build procedure to a MonoDevelop project. The process was pretty straightforward, although there were some pretty annoying glitches that saw me scrapping the project files several times before it was "just right."
Now that the conversion is done, my experience with MonoDevelop ...
I've been amazed at how easy Gtk# has made this project. If I were using MWF I'd be spending all my time trying to get the UI to behave properly when the form is resized. Simply put, Gtk#, or rather GTK+, takes care of resizing interface elements for ...
Since getting my new laptop I've been doing most of my development on it, particularly outside of my room. My desktop has become associated with gaming too much for me to be productive while using it, at least on a regular basis. In fact it's been booted into ...

Almost 25% of visitors use some ...

Well, by regularly I mean every so often. And maybe you shouldn't expect them or you might be disappointed.
I got a car! They just had some work done on it so it should be working for a while yet. Not bad for $500.
I've started a new job, for those of you who didn't know. I'm now coding C++ daily. My relationship with C++ has been distant, simply because I haven't really ever had a need to use it. However, C and C# are both strong languages of mine ...
