Core .Net Tools and Frameworks

This is part of a reply of a comment (for the comment and reply, just click the title of this blog). It turnes out that it deserves as a seperate blog entry.

Also, I only put the "core" tools and frameworks here. We are overloaded with information now. Too often, too much information is the problem; not too little.

As an OTTEC practitioner, I do not re-invent frameworks. I just use them. If I feel I need to do some framework development, I participate those projects. I do not mix OTTEC and framework developments.

Before I put out my own code, you can get warm-ups by getting familiar with the following tools and frameworks:
