Visualizing the .NET Framework

Posted by kdawson on from the drowning-in-code dept.

eldavojohn writes "If you're a Web developer, you should check out a quick post about the number of types, methods, & fields in the .NET framework. This was done using NDepend. The numbers are quite large — e.g. 39,509 types. The blogger went on to generate tree maps and a dependency matrix."

    That's what I first thought of for visualizing .NET.

    The goggles, etc.

    Any third-rate engineer or researcher can increase complexity; but it takes a certain flair of real insight to make things simple.

    If you're a Web developer, you should ignore .NET and use something much less bloated.

    There, fixed that for you.

    The first time I saw what you (supposedly) have to do to read from a file in Java, it pegged my OMGWTF meter.

    The idea is that you could encapsulate all that complexity inside a method inside a class--instantiate that class inside a class that has a "main()" and then put the whole thing in a module. You call all of that method with the correct parameters in an instance of another class created and instantiated the same way. You then jar it up as bytecode and then run it on the JVM--making sure your users are running the right versions of the JVM.

    On second thought, OMGWTF?

    The difference between genetic code and any human-invented language is the following: have you ever tried to debug a genome? It's friggin' ridiculous. No documentation at all.

    Monorails?

    Is that a port of a Ruby web application framework to an open-source reimplementation of a (possibly patent-encumbered) proprietary common language runtime?

    No wonder it sucks compared to a Honda! ;)
