I’ve just started programming in VB.Net and don’t want to use Dreamweaver to do it all.
I use a Mac for all my other work like design work and coding in Dreamweaver but would like to know if there is an alternative to Visual Studio Express so that I can do all my vb.net stuff on the mac too.
Any suggestions?
Unfortunately, there is no usable VB support for OS X. The Mono VB compiler has serious bugs and doesn’t implement the most recent language standard anyway.
It can only be considered experimental and unfortunately it’s not usable in real work.
The Mono C# compiler, on the other hand, is ready for prime-time and up to date with the current C# specification. What’s more, MonoDevelop has recently become quite stable and usable on OS X (apart from some minor glitches) so developing C# is quite enjoyable.
