In our premier issue, back in October 2002, we ran a full-length interview
with Anders Hejlsberg, the Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft responsible
for the creation of the C# programming language. Then, in March 2005, we

Infrastructure (CLI) specification. The CLI is the foundation of .NET.
Because Mono runs on a number of platforms, it is the main choice today for
people who want to run .NET applications on non-Microsoft platforms such as
Linux.
.NETDJ's editor in chief recently interviewed Mono's creator, Miguel de
