How to develop web applications with Manos and MonoDevelop, in 10 easy steps:

1. manos --init MyProject
2. cd MyProject/
3. mkdir lib/ src/ doc/
4. start MonoDevelop
5. create solution “MyProject” in src/
6. mv *.cs src/MyProject/MyProject
7. add Manos .dll files as dependencies
8. set project to .NET 4.0
9. Now you can compile/edit/do whatever you want to do with the project.
10. manos --server -a=src/MyProject/MyProject/bin/Debug/MyProject.dll

That’s all. Easy, wasn’t it?

I am currently using Manos to implement a REST API for the MyMediaLite recommender system library, and will report about it as soon as there is something significant to report about.
