Webkit as GUI in .Net/Mono Yea its not usually my forte either. I prefer going towards javascript and node.js. But I am having to learn c#/.net for work so I figured I may as well build a small project with it to help learn it. I think that .Net has some pretty cool features if I'm doing mostly windows development and web. So I'm trying to make use of what I know I will be using at work, which is a mix of web and desktop apps. |

Webkit as GUI in .Net/Mono Although while I do want to do things server side (as users will by able to sync data to a central server and use the app online), I would be interested in knowing how you are using chromium. For me, the desktop versions would be basically a copy of whats on the server so it runs faster and does not have to wait for updates and they can use it offline. |

What do you suggest for cross platform apps, including web I had asked another question based on this premise, and may end up using Webkit.Net, which could work perfectly in my case, especially since I wont have anything graphically intensive, just what you would see in a browser. |

Webkit as GUI in .Net/Mono As for 'Today I'd do something without IE/IIS and use websockets for a more interactive experience.' I am wanting to use mono so I can use .net and have cross platform support, as well as be able to host the site on something like nginx or cherokee if they have the mono support, otherwise apache. I don't know IIS and windows admin enough, but I know and have a linux web server. So far I won't have live user to user interaction so I probably wont need websockets. And DB synchronizing will be using couchdb. Though may look at websockets or socket.io later on when im doing more advanced stuff |

Webkit as GUI in .Net/Mono Hrmm, this seems like a solid answer. I'll wait a little bit to see if anyone chimes in as well before marking as the answer. But Webkit.Net looks like it might do the job. One of the links in theSO question you linked goes to a github repo CefSharp where he has a chromium instance embedded. Though I'm not sure if I will need the whole browser compared to just webkit. Ill have to look further. |

What do you suggest for cross platform apps, including web Performance difference is another thing I have on my checklist of things to look at to determine if it is the route I want to go. As with the GUI, for a desktop version I could use something like GTK, or just build each independently in the proper way for each OS. Which linux would use GTK anyways. Web would be standard HTML5/JS/Canvas. I was also wondering if I could even have a basic window and embed a webkit window in there so I could use the websites UI locally. But I'm not sure about that yet and need to look into that possibility more. |

What do you suggest for cross platform apps, including web But this still makes me wonder, with the things I want to do, would using C# and mono/.net be a smart choice, or could it be better to pick a different platform. So far it seems like using C# and mono could work as long as I am willing to make a UI for the different platforms, like web and mobile (which I could do both with html5 and web views on the mobile platform which are known to work well with things like sencha touch and others. but that's another discussion I think.), and desktop (maybe gtk too) |

What do you suggest for cross platform apps, including web Yes those are very good points. I see that c# itself is cross platform, but its the features I want to use that may or may not supported in a given system. That makes sense. So mono primarily is the making of .Net libraries work on other platforms, not C#. |
