Morning C# news – and more

This one has just been reported, but if you havnt seen it – it is very exciting!

  • Mono on the iPhone…. To say this is exciting is an understatement. Unfortunately I’m a little afraid that Apple wont like it too much (read allow it in their TOS).

    “3.3.2 An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means, including without limitation through the use of a plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or otherwise. No interpreted code may be downloaded and used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Published APIs and built-in interpreter(s)”

    .Mono is normally an interpreted language very similar to Java and the TOS explictly disallows running byte code on the machine.  So this could be VERY interesting, or it could be a nice concept and not never to hit the Apple store. Definitely watch this space!Otherwise we will end up with a compiler than generates Object C code :-(

  • Firefox 3.5 should be out tomorrow.
  • Another EDW appliance comes into the fold with Aster Data.
  • Simple problems highlighted with “SQL Server 2005 reporting in management studio“.
