Hi, 1) Sure. However, note that WinForms is currently buggy on OSX, but the rest should work fine. Until there is a worthy WinForms driver for OSX, I suggest you use GTK# or Cocoa (through MonoMac, for example) instead, for example. Only consider WinForms on OSX if your app is simple enough. On a side note, it's possible to use an alternate X11 WinForms driver on OSX by passing a command line parameter (requires an X11 server install on the Mac), which apparently works better than the Carbon-based driver. (Sorry if this is all a bit confusing.) 2) It depends on what you do. If you just wanted to check out how your WinForms or GTK# app runs on OSX, there is no need to "port" anything, and no need to recompile either. But if you want to do OSX-specific code (like using MonoMac), then it's a different story. Also, some people want to have a custom UI for OSX (usually using some kind of Cocoa C# wrapper), which means more (duplicate, OS-specific) work, while others don't want to bother and are happy using a cross-platform GUI toolkit instead (which looks less good / native on OSX, but may still work fine). 3) I don't think there are any Mono books that are recent enough to be interesting.
