    • mono

      is the runtime that executes your interpreted code.

    • monodevelop

      is an IDE (Intergrated Development Enviroment) it helps you write, evaluate and debug code written in VB, C#, etc. that eventually gets executed by the mono runtime.

    While you need mono, you don't need monodevelop to write and execute C# applications. However, it is quite a nice IDE to write C# and it takes some of the labour out of debugging.
