Ask HN: Can you recommend any .Net hacker communities?

1 pointsby devuatl15 anni fa2 comments

I'm just reading "Agile Principles, Patterns and Practices in C#" by Micah and Robert Martin. They claim early on that .Net developers have poor reputation. Especially in comparison with Java guys. Surely Java world has more man power and thus it's easier to distill those sharpest devs. Even worse for .Net, the platform is not really associated with open standards and open source.

Nevertheless, I want to learn new things and build interesting stuff, and it would be odd if I was the only person around to do so. Even if the tool has not so 'hacky' reputation as Python or Ruby.

Do you know of any .Net hacker communities, I could look up?

Don't be religious about programming languages. Who cares what other developers' reputation is, just because they chose .NET over XYZ?

That said, I'm sure you've seen, say, the Sharepoint Stackoverflow? http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/

And maybe check meetup.com for local .NET groups
