I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about Microsoft and why I choose to develop software for their OS versus some other platform. I won’t post all of that discussion here, but one point I made to him was that Microsoft provides excellent resources to their developer community.

I don’t think I really need to further make that point here (anyone interested in reading my blog probably buys into this view already); however, it did remind me of a series on API design that I downloaded from MSDN earlier in the year. Designing .NET Class Libraries provides good information for all .NET developers, regardless of whether you are designing public libraries or not.

Designing .NET Class Libraries

It is worth the time investment.
