Developing a web app with Mono (opensource .NET) any examples?
f#, linux, mono, spring.net, web-applications
Solution
To get F# dev environment for Mac/Linux setup:
- http://www.tryfsharp.org/Resources/GetMono.aspx
For Ubuntu 12.04 specifically:

To Get Fsharp to work with MonoDevelop 2.6 or greater you have to use one of forks of:
- https://github.com/fsharp/fsharpbinding
Nancy looks like a good URL routing option which is all I really need:
- https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy
And for F# Mono stuff for Nancy including Djano templating:
- https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy/wiki/Building-Nancy-on-Mono
You can use the command line NuGet install tool (which is basically like Javascripts npm or Java's maven):
- http://nuget.codeplex.com/releases/view/58939
Once I install the Fsharp Powerpack I should have in theory LINQ to use for persistence.
And If Nancy does not work out there appears to be a standard called OWIN (it appears to be analogous to Python's WSGI).
Other OWIN compliant projects: http://owin.org/#projects
UPDATE
Looks like ServiceStack has some good stuff also and seems to be gaining some traction. In terms of Mono you mainly want to look at daemon doc.
Problem
I am a Java, Scala, Python web app Linux guy. I want to play around with Mono (particularly F#) for web development. I am just looking for an example web application written in Mono perhaps in Github (any CLI language is fine). I have tried googling and cannot find a good starting point (or if its even possible). From what I gather I could sort of combine: - Fast CGI (nginx, lighttpd) - Mono - Spring framework .NET (I can't even tell if it will work on Mono) Advanced apologies if there is a glaringly obvious resource (web site) that I missed.
