.NET Framework Source Code to be Released

Last Wednesday, Scott Guthrie announced the release of the .NET Framework Library source code. "You'll be able to download the .NET Framework source libraries via a standalone install (allowing you to use any text editor to browse it locally). We will also provide integrated debugging support of it within VS 2008."

This is big news. It will allow those of us who case about quality to gain a deeper understanding of the frameworks, beyond what the MSDN library, google or even Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector can give us.

Before you get too excited though, it's worth mentioning that you're only allowed to view the source for documentation purposes and to use it for debugging your applications. You are not allowed to modify or redistribute it. But hey, that doesn't make it less useful!

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It is the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of trackbacks??

Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
