The guys who developed SharpDevelop wrote a book in the last year or so that describes the process they went through to develop their SharpDevelop Open Source product.  It explains why they made some of the design and architecture decisions they made.

I doubt this free e-book is a complete copy of that book, but it's a good read for those who are interested in “Dissecting a C# Application: Inside SharpDevelop”

I know they are working on a new version of the book, so this e-book might be a complete copy of the original book.

Just thought I'd pass it along...

This quote was told to me by my son who over the past year has really taken to the guitar and become quite the player.  Yes, I'm a little biased, but he's good, and so is the group of kids he plays with.

When he told me this quote, I was shocked, here's my son who's never been great in school and he's quoting a rock star...

I'm a collector of quotes, most being inspirational, or motivational in some way.

So I'll randomly start dropping in these quotes when I'm feeling generous enough to motivate and inspire the rest of you... :-)
