URL: C# in developing bioinformatics programming object model
Submitted by Deying Kong; posted on Thursday, October 03, 2002 (17 comments)
Currently most of software tools and programming models were developed with Perl or Java under the Unix system. Millions of Windows programmers are blocked from accessing these programming objects. Do they need to learn Unix and Perl? Many biologist are familiar with the easy-to-use Windows system. Can they spend less time learning Windows solutions? I am exploring the power of the Windows platform and the modern, elegant language C# (a cross platform .Net solution development language) and using them to develop a proper hierarchical object model and analysis tools.

Yes, Microsoft developed C#, BUT it's an ECMA standard, so you are free to port it to Linux, for example. And that's exactly what Miguel de Icaza did with the Mono Project (www.go-mono.com). The conclusion: C# is cross plattform! And the .NET Framework is a great application plattform with rich functionality. So my opinion is, it's good for Linux to have such an API!
Concerning this project, I'll find it very interesting and a good idea. This will bring Bioinformatic to thousands of (Windows-)Developer or vice versa.
So, good luck!
