I think the mono project is about developing with stuff like vb and c#, you might want to look into that.
Keep in mind that those are windows languages and not very open at all, so mono is probably reverse engineered and not yet as feature rich as the windows equivalents...

just go

sudo aptitude install mono-mcs

then try "hello world" at the bottom here http://www.mono-project.com/Introduc...ping_with_Mono and you're off

Mono is reimplementation of c# and .NET for Linux. To understand what are you going into, read thread thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=374546 ) - it is somewhat controversial project, which translates to decreased mindshare.
