You have a couple options: 1) Code up some simple C# code in a text editor (sublime) and then compile it using the mono c# compiler. 2) Run Windows on Parallels and download visual studio community edition. Folks are working on a CLR that w

I always felt Java's strength was the runtime. Java can run on so many platforms. Compare that to how many CLR implementations there are. This is one of .NET's biggest failings, though this is being rectified by MS when the o

You would still have to purchase the Windows license. Also, why would you run say something like Redis, on Windows through a compatibility layer ... when you can just run it on Ubuntu or Cent instead? Sure, if you are already committed to

I don't think MS would abandon the NT kernel. Both version of Windows could exist side-by-side and organizations would have to choose which one they would want to adopt.

I get the feeling MS is heading towards Windows running on a MS Linux kernel at some point. An MS linux build, that supports .NET (CoreCLR) and a true cross platform windowing library (WPF) would be serious force to contend with in both the

Yes. It's a WPF app running on the framework. MS has no plans to open source WPF or include the required assemblies into the CoreCLR so I doubt we will ever see VS running on a *nix platform.

Looks like the prices have been dropped and CodeLens is now available at the Premium level. I can't wait until I can target builds against CoreCLR.

Economic and political conditions of the mid 19th century led directly to the development of ideologies that we fought wars over in the first half of the 20th century. I've always wondered whether humanity would enter a new cycle of co

I have found this to depend on the school and program you came out of. Some bachelor's programs are rigorous, others not so much. In general, engineering and science graduates with bachelor's degrees from large state schools and

That depends on the type of developer you are speaking with. Most enterprise developers working for medium to large companies feel this way. Contractors are a different story. They embrace open source as much as the Java community. Discl

The .Net platform is a well engineered development stack and learning it would only become an issue with regards to opportunity costs. Time spent learning .Net is at the expense of learning something else. Only you can judge whether or no
