15 Visual Studio .NET Add-Ins you won't live without

Here is the first portion of the DotNetKicks source code that will soon be released in full open source glory. Please note that I have not yet decided on which open source license to use for this project, so please don't sell it to google for billions just yet.

DotNetKicks to be Open Sourced

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 19:16:01 GMT

As the community on DotNetKicks.com has grown in size over the past year, I have received received many offers of help with adding features and many requests for the source code. Due to other top secret commitments, I have recently not had as much time as I would have liked to continue the development of DotNetKicks.com. A discussion on DotNetKicks last week re-highlighted the issue of feature stagnation (the community is continuing to grow just fine). We are in the business of solving problems, and the best solution here is to open source the project. I had planned to release some code this past weekend, but some of the current dependencies include code that I don't wish to release. I am currently refactoring the dependencies, and I will be able to release some code very soon. Please shout it from the roof tops, we need all the contributers we can get.

Where is .NET?

Today at Digg/programming, not one single topic involved .NET. There were a lot of PHP, Ruby and Java. So where is .NET? Why is .NET so under represented on the broader community sites? I don't think it is because PHP or Java has a bigger user base or is better or worse than .NET. It must be something else. Maybe it is because .NET developers just don't care about the other programming languages and platforms. That's fair enough, but I don't buy it.
