  • There have been a lot of attempts at a great Twitter desktop client, but most have have resulted in glorified readers or overly complex applications—not a great experience.

    Meet blu. Now you can experience Twitter in a whole new way.

  • NGourd is a BDD Framework written in C#. It is designed heavily influenced by the Cucumber tool from the ruby world. The intention is to create a clean separation between the intent of a specification versus it's execution. This allows developers to concentrate on the technical details while non-programmers can verify and even author specifications.

  • A project to provide a PowerShell management library for Hyper-V
    It does pretty much what it says. Note that a lot of the information available from Hyper-V is only available if Powershell is running with Elevated privilege

  • Windows Mobile lets you reuse your existing Visual Studio and .NET development skills and server infrastructure to extend your applications to mobile devices and give users new experiences and solve new business problems.
  • ARToolKit is a software library for building Augmented Reality (AR) applications. These are applications that involve the overlay of virtual imagery on the real world. For example, in the image to the right a three-dimensional virtual character appears standing on a real card. It can be seen by the user in the head set display they are wearing. When the user moves the card, the virtual character moves with it and appears attached to the real object.

  • An online resource dedicated to Silverlight based designers. We hope to over time create a fully loaded resource for designers (and developers) to have at their finger tips, whether it be inspiration for that next project, learning a new technique, or simply grabbing a resource to quickly and easily spice up your design

  • Most software version control systems provide mechanisms for branching into multiple lines of development and merging source code from one development line into another. However, the techniques, policies and guidelines for using these mechanisms are often misapplied or not fully understood. This is unfortunate, since the use or misuse of branching and merging can make or break a parallel software development project. Streamed Lines is a pattern language for organizing related lines of development into appropriately diverging and converging streams of source code changes.
  • In this series of articles Gabriel Schenker want to show and discuss which pieces are needed to successfully write an application based on NHibernate and Fluent NHibernate.
  • NChord is a C# implementation of the Chord distributed hash table. The project provides a library containing the routing, lookup, and maintenance routines specified in the MIT Chord paper, and is quite stable including under heavy load and churn.
  • This project is the portal for accessing the WPF Toolkit and the WPF Futures releases.
    The WPF Toolkit is a collection of WPF features and components that are being made available outside of the normal .NET Framework ship cycle. The WPF Toolkit not only allows users to get new functionality more quickly, but allows an efficient means for giving feedback to the product team. Many of the features will be released with full source code as well. The Toolkit Roadmap outlines some of the upcoming features we have planned.
    WPF Futures includes sample controls and features, many of which are being considered for the Toolkit. Check out the Futures Roadmap to see some of the features we have planned.
  • The Linux folks have their penguin and the BSDers their daemon. Perl's got a camel, FSF fans have their gnu and OSI's got an open-source logo. What we haven't had, historically, is an emblem that represents the entire hacker community of which all these groups are parts. This is a proposal that we adopt one — the glider pattern from the Game of Life.
    About half the hackers this idea was alpha-tested on instantaneously said "Wow! Cool!" without needing any further explanation. If you don't know what a glider is, or why it would make a good emblem, or if you're dubious about having an emblem at all, read the FAQs page.
    I first proposed this emblem in October 2003. It has since entered fairly widespread use, as you can see by the number of international translations over on the left. Not universal, because many hackers object on principle to the idea of having an emblem at all, but it appears to be a successful meme.
  • Sandcastle, created by Microsoft, is a tool used for creating MSDN-style documentation from .NET assemblies and their associated XML comments files. The current version is the May 2008 release. It is command line based and has no GUI front-end, project management features, or an automated build process like those that you can find in NDoc. The Sandcastle Help File Builder was created to fill in the gaps, provide the missing NDoc-like features that are used most often, and provide graphical and command line based tools to build a help file in an automated fashion.
  • Sandcastle produces accurate, MSDN style, comprehensive documentation by reflecting over the source assemblies and optionally integrating XML Documentation Comments. Sandcastle has the following key features:
