.NET Programming

Interested in doing .NET development? The resources below are good places to start:

• http://msdn.microsoft.com — This is THE reference site if you are doing .NET development.

• http://www.gotdotnet.com — Very useful .NET resource. I believe many members of the Microsoft .NET framework team frequent this site, making this an important resource if you are looking for some real expert help.

• Check out the workspaces at http://www.gotdotnet.com/community/workspaces/. Pretty darn neat. It’s an open source development community for those using .NET.

• Terrarium (http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces) — multi-player peer-to-peer .NET network game. This is not so much a game as it is a training tool for .NET developers. It’s a great way to learn OO programming and how to work with a framework.

• http://www.asp.net — Contains some very useful tools/projects/reference information for ASP.NET developers

• ASP.NET on Apache webservers:
  • http://httpd.apache.org/cli/ — Apache CLI sub-project (mod_aspdotnet). Uses the real Microsoft .NET framework… but this also means that it will only work on Apache 2 on Windows
  • http://www.mono-project.com/ASP.NET — mono module for Apache; use this to run ASP.NET pages on a linux box
