AW: [Mono-list] OSS alternative to ASP.NET for use with Mono?

2004-08-07 Thread Jochen Wezel
Hi Tom!

The only alternative to ASP.NET is ASP.NET, one is from Microsoft, the other one from 
Mono ;-)

If you don't like ASP.NET, why don't you use CGI, Pearl, Old ASP, ISAPI, PHP, etc. ? 
But then you would leave the .NET way...

Instead of Windows.Forms I can use GTK#, swt#, or wx#.

Instead of ASP.NET I should use ?.

Thanks,
Tom.

Jochen,
I'd like to be able to use Mono, but also use an API that is free of MS 
patents.

I don't know much about web programming, as I'm realy a C++ developer, 
but might the long term alternative to ASP.NET be a server API that 
builds and exchanges XAML/XUL with the client?

I'm just surprised that there is no real alternative to the MS API, 
given that there are so many alternatives to the MS API for the desktop GUI.

Yes, but this isn't a 'gift'.
This is very proprietary, and has network and lock-in effects that jeeps 
don't have.

Besides, Jeeps are too big, take too much gas for my needs, and many are 
not very reliable.  I'd prefer a simple, reliable, compact vehicle of 
some sort.

Simple, reliable, compact vehicles need good roads. You wouldn't have those

I'll assume you're referring to the supposed "patent crackdown" that the
anti-MS crowd are convinced is coming? If you think that that is any more
than just FUD, surely it applies to the whole of Mono and not just ASP.NET?
Sure I've heard all the arguments about this ECMA rule about patents, etc.,
but the news of the last few years should tell you that any technology can
get hit with a patent claim any time whether it is a clone of a companies
product or is independently developed. Your best way to avoid risk is to buy
some of the "very proprietary" software you despise from a large company that
can afford to defend patent claims from 3rd parties. Free software can never
be truly free while patents can apply to software. So, either buy your
software from a big vendor or just ignore the patent issue altogether and get
on with your life.

Great, so use PHP.

Seriously, what is so compelling about Mono that makes you want to use it
instead of something else like Java for instance, but not want to use
ASP.NET?

Yes, maybe one day, in the future, but even Microsoft don't know where
they're going down that road yet. ASP.NET is something that works *right now*
and that trumps arguments about what technology might be the best way to go
one day.

If you don't know much about web development maybe you don't know that
ASP.NET is very compelling technology that moves the game on a long way past
where ASP was and makes things like ASP, Coldfusion and PHP look a bit
old-fashioned. Of course people that don't know ASP.NET think that it's just
"a bit better" than ASP and since things like JSP and PHP4/5 are a lot better
than ASP, that ASP.NET is a waste of time. They are very wrong. 

It's more usual for web developers to think "I want to use ASP.NET but I'm
not sure about having to use Windows Server for my website". Mono has offered
a great service by allowing people to run ASP.NET apps on Linux. 

What you are asking for is something 'less good' than ASP.NET just to make
you feel better about some supposed patent issue.

There are many alternatives to Windows Forms for the desktop API because
emulating Windows Forms on non-Windows platforms is more than a little
difficult. And cross-platform GUIs don't necessarily make much sense anyway.
Web serving is whole different world where it doesn't matter what programming
language you use or which OS or framework because only HTML is generated so
there is not really any requirement for anything different from a
technological perspective anyway.

Wow, I'm really still trying to get my head round someone wanting to use mono
to serve web pages but not want to use ASP.NET. I strongly suggest that if
this hasn't convinced you to learn and use ASP.NET, you should check out JSP
(Java Server Pages). If you have issues with using Java I'd be surprised if
they don't also apply to Mono. If Java is to 'heavyweight' for you then use
PHP. I think that covers all the main alternatives and if you haven't used
ASP.NET you won't know what you're missing anyway :)

Hi guys,
Just my $.02
I agree with the idea of having another implementation besides asp.net.
One presentation framework I'd like to see ported to .Net would be the 
Echo Framework. http://echo.sf.net.

It is very nice and allows you to use the same idea of application 
instance you are used to in desktop instead of using a page centric 
approach. I think it has this idea more tight than asp.net design.

I know it is in Java, but IMHO, it would be a worthwhile port.

Francisco Figueiredo Jr.

[Mono-list] Some benchmarks

2004-08-07 Thread Pedro Santos
Hello, hello!

I have an aplication with many, many objects in memory that I have to
save/load to have persistence. I implemented an abstract framework that
enables me to make several persistence implementations. At this point, I
have implemented persistence in XML (I write, I read to DOM and parse --
can't use XmlSerializer cause I have some Hastables... :( ), and
implemented with the help of the BinaryFormatter. 

Before saving, I transform all my OO model in some simple classes that
contain only the necessary info to save/load. That's why I can apply a
BinaryFormatter easily.

I first tryed it in Microsoft .NET and found out that saving is much
more slower than loading... I wonder why! On the other hand, the same
test ou Mono/Linux got me that saving was faster than loading...

Now, I would like to understand the results, so I ask these questions:

1) Is writing to a file very much slower than reading from a file in
Windows? Does the oposite happens in Linux?

2) Any information on can add on this results? Are they "expected"
results?

Thanks.

[Mono-list] Mod_mono for FC2 precompiled

2004-08-07 Thread Morten Krog
For some reason the mono-complete yum taget does not include a mod_mono
shared object.

Is there anywhere I can obtain a precompiled mod_mono for FC1/FC2?

I'd really prefere an rpm in a yum repository.
