Open Source .NET Development

Posted on Tuesday, November 9, 2004 in Uncategorized

I said in my review of Coder to Developer:

My only real criticism is that when discussing various tools to help with the various tasks, the emphasis is placed on the authorâ??s favourite commercial tools over the Free/Open alternatives. While this may suit some people, I disagreed with it and made me feel as though parts of the book are more advert than advice.

There now seems to be the book I was hoping for – Open Source .Net Development: Programming with NAnt, NUnit, NDoc, and More (it’s on my wishlist if someone wants to treat me!). If this book is as good as I hope it is, then I will be buying copies for the other developers on my team.

My only comment (without reading the book) is:

Do they mean “Developing Open Source with .NET” or “Developing .NET with Open Source”? Hopefully it’s both…
