Long Time No Blog

It's strange to think that's it's 2010 already and I haven't blogged since June. It certainly hasn't been for lack of things to blog about — if anything, I've been too busy working on things to blog about them, so whenever I've had something to share I've usually used Twitter because much easier to fire off a quick tweet than to write a blog post. However, I'm determined to start blogging again so that I can share detailed information to which I can refer people more easily.

So, over the next few weeks, I'm going to try to catch up a bit. I intend to blog about the following topics:

  • Binding techniques for C++ libraries, based on what I learned from PhyreEngine
  • A tiny library I wrote for simulating cooperative microthreading using IEnumerable
  • The IPhone addin for MonoDevelop as an example of a custom project type
  • An update on building Moonlight projects with MonoDevelop
  • Some of the new features in MonoDevelop 2.2 and trunk
  • Turning a GTK# application into a Mac app bundle and integrating with the dock and main menu
  • The Mono.TextTemplating T4 library I developed for MonoDevelop's ASP.NET MVC addin
  • The talk I gave on MonoDevelop at MonoSpace
  • The difference between Web Applications and Web Sites, and why MonoDevelop only supports the former
  • Plans for improving the file/project templating system in MonoDevelop
  • Some of the photographs I've taken over the past 6 months

I don't have any particular order planned, so if there's something you'd particularly like to see, leave a comment and I'll try to take it into consideration. I'll link the items in the list through to the posts as I make them.

Comments

Blog preference

If it helps my order of preference would be:
- A tiny library I wrote for simulating cooperative microthreading using IEnumerable
- The difference between Web Applications and Web Sites, and why MonoDevelop only supports the former?

GTK# on Mac OS X

I'd like to see "Turning a GTK# application into a Mac app bundle and integrating with the dock and main menu" first.

C++ bindings

Hi Michael,

I'd very much like to hear more about your C++ binding ideas. I've been working on my own C++ binding library (since the existing options for binding managed code to C++ in a platform agnostic manner are quite frankly pretty piss poor), and I'd be interested to hear your insights.

Cheers,

Moonlight

Hi,
I'd like to see "An update on building Moonlight projects with MonoDevelop".

Thanks.
