Terrific and good news for all VB developers...
Though often disparaged by developers, Visual Basic remains one of the world's most commonly used programming languages. According to Forrester Research, 37 percent of enterprises use Microsoft Visual Basic.NET for development and maintenance of their in-house applications.
Until now, Visual Basic applications could only run on Windows OSes, without major modifications. With the Mono Visual Basic compiler, however, those applications will be able to run on many more platforms. As a proof point of this new platform independence, the new compiler is self-hosting. That is, the complier itself is written in Visual Basic.

Hello,
I’m looking for some development languages on Linux (Redhat) that will allow me to display real-time values into some boxes inside some windows on Linux.
Would you happen to know what visual languages I can use on Linux?
Thanks,
Matthew
