    ALT.NET developers just doen't limit themselves to "usual" .NET tools and SDKs which came from Microsoft, instead they try to keep their minds open and look for new technologies and practices in order to get the best out of their effort.

    That's probably what most of good developers do, in my opinion.

    Absolutely - I look at whats out there and pick up tools and frameworks that could be useful to me. It seems that I practice, to some extent, ALT.NET and never knew it. Thanks everyone for helping me find out what ALT.NET is.

      Mark their posts as spam/abuse :-) It's a fun thing to do when you are bored.

      How do you do this? I don't see a button or a link, or is it just simple voting 1 to 5 the offending post.

        The same principle applies to Design Patterns, you'd be surprised how many good developers are actually using design patterns without knowing it.

            It's not there. I looked everywhere, and very hardly where you said. That portion of the screen looks like this: Hard to miss... lower right corner of the post... just bellow the rate.

              Down in the bottom righthand corner of the message there should be a "Report as Spam or Abuse" line.

                      Justin, It's not just you. I don't have it either. I think I've seen it before, but not lately and definitely not now. BDF

                        I've recently seen references to ALT.NET and I've searched for the term but I get a bunch of links that don't really tell me much. Does anyone know what ALT.NET is?

                        Colin, Probably enough replies by now, but I can throw in a reference to a (very subjective) 'hot/not' tools list on Roy Osherove's blog (one of the bloggers in the alt.net parade): http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2007/06/04/alt-net-alternative-tools-and-approaches-to-mainstream-net.aspx[^] Trouble with such a movement, in my view, that it can tend to become an incrowd 'with us or against us' debating club witjout some form of moderation. On the other hand, when it gains some clout, MS will stand to notice, as indeed happened with Scott Guthrie presenting at the recently held alt.net conference. Regards, Arjan Keene
