Hi,

anyone out there got any pointers to good links/tutorials/books on developing webservices with Mono? In more detail, I am interested in

  • using Mono from project start on a Linux host
  • developing in C#
  • using Visual Studio for development, ideally with remote debugging if that is realistic
  • developing web-services in MONO accessible in a RESTful manner, returning JSON
  • hiding the services processes behind an Apache
  • access the services either via javascript/AJAX or from a thin script layer written in PHP
  • scalability is important for me
  • unit-testing of webservices

Any recommendations for material I could sift through to get a good head-start? I might add that I'm C#/.NET savvy, but not in the context of web development. I've been using it since it came out, but mainly for internal server-client applications where the clients were Windows desktop apps and the communication layer was remoting or, sometimes, more low-level socket-based.

Thanks, max

Mono has a WCF implementation.

Alternatively, you can try hosting ASP.NET MVC in Mono.

I know that. But I am more looking for good intro material. You know, stuff I can read through, bigger examples (not the usual toy stories), comparisons of both techniques and their pros/cons for certain scenarios, common pitfalls, domain-specific patterns, the like.In case you wonder about the late comment, I've been busier than is healthy with my professional projects (while the whole interest in mono+webservices is more a private one).Thanks,Max
