BizSpark SF Lightning Talk: "Open-Source Alternatives for .Net" by Joe Balfantz
- 1. Open Source Tools for .Net Valuable Tools
- 2. Open Source community for .Net • Microsoft community dependent on big companies for tools. • Use the best tools out there. – Don’t depend on vendor’s name. • Use the tools with best value.
- 3. Tools to use no matter what • Most valuable – Resharper – not free – Jquery – Visual Studio
- 4. Resharper • Visual Studio plugin with innumerable tools • Performs as-you-type analysis
- 5. jquery Web UI • The essential javascript library for web.
- 6. NuGet Package management • Visual Studio Package manager
- 7. NuGet Package management • Visual Studio Package manager
- 8. xunit unit testing • Simple commands, faster tests
- 9. nCover code coverage • Read source, determine code metrics – Percentage of code coverage – Cyclomatic complexity
- 10. Moq mocking • Simple, effective mocking
- 11. WatiN UI debugging • Automate UI Testing
- 12. Git distributed source control • Quickly becoming the standard
- 13. AppHarbor Hosting / cloud deployment • Quick, painless deployment on EC3
- 14. dotPeek Debugging / reverse engineering • New from JetBrains, slower than Reflector
- 15. Process Monitor Deep debugging • Log EVERYTHING Windows does • Last resort debugging method
- 16. guru.com Outsourcing • How much is your time worth? • Also, eLance and oDesk
- 17. nHibernate ORM • Effective ORM • Supports LINQ • Fluent Nhibernate
- 18. Others to try • nServiceBus (messaging) – On top of MSMQ – Messaging promotes Service-oriented architecture • RestSharp (REST) – Also good for SoA • MvcContrib (contributions to ASP.NET MVC) • TeamCity / CruiseControl – Automate building and testing of code base

Editor's Notes
- Focus on open source and VALUE. Most bang for buck.
- Microsoft community historically depends on big companies providing tools and big names. VALUE
- Several tools, like the cast of, indispensable.
- Too manytools to discuss hereAs-you-type analysis, feedback
- Every website you use is probably using jquery
- Great entry point to open source projectsSearch open source projects, download, and reference in your project in one step
- Simple test commands, runs quicklyAlternative is Nunit
- Code coverage reports that tell you the percentage of code that has unit test coverage.Not free, but there’s an older version that is. Alternative - PartCover
- Automate your UI testingSave time from clicking through webpages.
- The industry standard for source controlIf using SVN, switch to gitGithub – becoming the largest the repository of open source projects
- Deploy to the cloud and host there, quickly and simplyIdeal for new projects that need to be put onto a cloud storage solution with least deployment friction
- Reverse engineer C# dlls into code
- The deepest external debugger / logger. Records EVERYTHING Windows doesHundreds of thousands of events recorded per second – filter down to your app’s
- This one may be controversial, but how much is your time worth?When stuck on figuring something out that doesn’t work, farm the work out to cheaper labor to create a prototypeDo NOT use for production code.Best value for your time/money
