Visualizing the .NET Framework
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."
Seriously, will MSFT never learn? They are setting themselves up for *4 more years* of poor implementation, and all because they have not learned that 100x the workforce doesn't equal 100x the product, but rather a bloated monster.
But it will keep us in jokes.

I am having flashbacks to my days as a .NET developer. Never again! The documentation is just terrible. What do those 240,070 fields do? I don't know, here is what 6 of them do, figure out the rest by trial and error.
Did you read TFA... oh, sorry, I forgot.
I'd rather work with Mono any day...

Not only did you not click the link, but you didn't even hover over it in your browser before running off at the mouth. Don't be such a noob.
This submition is breaking new ground: Proprietary MS plattform lockin now combined with the crappyness of pointless fanboy analysis in the style of über-crappy layouted GNU Open Source web posts. Great.
.Net, 'SilverShite' and whatnot. For anything. But especially for web stuff. And because nearly 20 years of very good reasons too.
.Net.
No thanks people. I'm staying the heck away from MS,
There are a bazillion webkits out there, one better than the next and *all* of them open. (I just ran across haxe again the other day - yet another totally awesome OSS solution). No need to even waste a minute considering MS. Unless you're being paid tripple for your time, waste of brainpower and for learning stuff that corporations have no interest in keeping around for long, because they want to sell it again and again.
Take it from a professional web-developer: Stear clear. Jump on the Rails bandwagon if you must (only if you really must) but do yourself a favour and stay away from
My 2 cents.
We suffer more in our imagination than in reality. - Seneca
Oh! A wonderfull bloat! Please open the hell gate and throw it through... why do we want to loose our precious time to promote the borg lock down and brain damaged stuff?? We, I meant us, real computer engineers, not those monkeys(...) part of the borg collective, open source or not.
.NET is a money-trap of MS, a proprietary software and marketing strategy. It is on top of *real* programming environments thus slow. It is nothing to worth to talk about it or learning it...
