Mono Develop

Run .NET Application in Linux using
mono


MonoDevelop is a development tool for .net developemnt in linux. It is based on the code of Sharp Development – a windows based open source development environment for .net. MonoDevelop happen to be a very nice and easy to use .NET IDE for mono. As I mentioned the IDE started with the source of sharpdevelop (A.K.A #D). But instead of WinForms the GUI has be replaced with
gtk#. It has all the feature you can expect in a stadard IDE.

The IDE features some of the most importna features like intellisence, code highlight, gui designer etc. The IDE is mainly focused on C#. development. But you can also create vb.net based application with it. The GUI toolkit supported by the IDE is gtk#.

The features in mondevelop is so nicely build that it is very easy to use to build applications in gtk# for linux and also it has a distribution builder, which makes it much easier to distribute and deploy a gui based application in mono to any client machine. The packager has an option to target the app for both linux and windows. For a windows machine you only need the gtk# runtime in the windows machine. And the application will run properly.

I just configured my netbook to do android development in netbeans. So just sharing my experience here. Before I start below is the details of the hardware and software Hardware: Acer Aspire One Software: OS: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10 Others: Netbeans IDE 7 M2,Android SDK There is a nice plugin for Netbeans available called nbandroid and can be found at http :// kenai . com / projects / nbandroid / . I installed this plugin to my Netbeans IDE from the update center. To do so you can follow the instructions at http :// kenai . com / projects / nbandroid / pages / Install . Once installed next I need to download and install the Android SDK from http :// developer . android . com / sdk / index . html . In my case I have chosen the linux sdk. You can choose the one appropriate to your platform. Once downloaded do exract it to a folder.Next you can follow the steps given in http :// developer . android . com / sdk / installing . html .

Configuring CI pipeline in Jenkins for PHP projects

Image
This article describes the process of creating a CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline for PHP projects using Jenkins server.  The Architecture The above diagram shows a graphical representation of the whole process. Here we have a git repo, the Jenkins CI server, and its build agent.  The Process   The process begins when the user checks in the code in the git repo. The git repo via its commit hook calls the build URL of Jenkins server.   The Jenkins server pulls the code from the git repo and sends it to build agent.   The build agent then executes the ant script and builds and validates the PHP code via various validations mentioned the ant script    The successful build can be deployed in a deployment server to complete the CD part of the process.  The configuration To configure this solution, we have used a Microsoft Team Foundation Server Online git repo and a Bitnami Jenkins server VM from Azure. I am assuming you already have a VS Online acco

Configure Netbeans for Apache TomEE and OpenJPA

Image
Apache TomEE is a nice small fully certified JavaEE 6 web profile container. In this blog I will show you how to configure netbeans IDE 7.3 beta 2 to work with TomEE Web Profile 1.5. To learn more about TomEE and to download the server you can visit the following link http://tomee.apache.org/apache-tomee.html And you can get the latest version of Netbeans from its site at http://netbeans.org Now first of all I would like to tell you both TomEE works great Netbeans. There are couple of posts which shows about creating things like EJB and CDI beans in TomEE and Netbeans. But what I could not found in the web is a guide to how to make JPA work in TomEE with Netbeans. So I would try to demonstrate the same in this post. So to begin lets just create a Java Web project in Netbeans (I am assuming you have basic working knowladge with netbeans and you know how to create and run a web project in netbeans). In the server screen we can add TomEE like the given screenshot below. Scre
