DotNetKicks to be Open Sourced

published 1 year, 8 months ago, submitted by gavinjoyce 1 year, 8 months ago

weblogs.asp.net — 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. read more...

devx.com — or the past year or so, I've been involved in documenting frameworks that help developers write better code, and create applications that are more efficient and easier to test, debug, maintain, and extend. During that time, it has been interesting to see the continuing development of best-practice techniques and tools at one of the leading software companies in our industry. Most of the work was outside my usual sphere of ASP.NET and web development, concentrating mainly on Windows Forms applications built using .NET 2.0. This is an area where standard design patterns that have evolved over many years are increasingly being refined and put into practice. read more...
