The Mono Project on Feb. 20 announced that it has developed a Visual Basic compiler that will enable software developers who use Microsoft Visual Basic to run their applications on any platform that supports Mono, such as Linux, without any code modifications. Though often disparaged by developers, Visual Basic remains one of the world’s most commonly used programming languages.
If you are a VB programmer and want to try your app in Linux, here is your chance. It appears that only .NET is supported, not anything earlier, such as 5 or 6.
