Open Source .NET Development [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

How This Book Is Organized

This book is meant to expose the best Open Source and "Free" tools, frameworks, components, and products for .NET. Therefore, you can read it in pretty much any order. Undoubtedly, by the time this book reaches the shelves, many of these products will have improved, and of course many more good projects will materialize. My intention is to introduce you to the world of .NET Open Source, which is much vaster than most developers realize. For more in-depth information, see the user groups associated with these projects. Also, I strive to keep my Web site (Part II. Look at the different tools; see which ones would be most useful and immediately helpful in your situation. Part III is essential if you are planning on deploying a .NET application on Linux or using an Open Source database engine and wonder how much .NET support these platforms have.

The examples in this book are meant to display the most useful aspects of .NET Open Source coding. They, along with many of the projects, are made available in the companion CD-ROM. I would love to hear back from youideas on the examples, improvements, comments, etc. (See my email address below.)
