I've been a busy guy today, running all over the net reading about various stuff. One of the more interesting things I saw today was Guidance Automation Extensions .
The "GAX" as it is called is an extension to Visual Studio 2005 (IDE) that allows architects (framework developers) to author rich, integrated user experiences for (programming) reusable (code) assets including frameworks, components and patterns. The resulting Guidance Packages are composed of templates (code snippets), wizards (automated guides) and recipes (live howtos), which help developers build (code) solutions in a way consistent with the architecture guidance (framework best practices.)
Another amazing piece of software, this time, more general for any CLR project, is the NDepend and Code Query Language (CQL). The NDepend product, which was free in its initial version, leverages the amazing DOM-based CQL suite to analyze and map CLR/.Net libraries, applications, assemblies and modules.
NDepend provides a rapid prototyping and visualization engine for coming to a greater understanding of the complexities, relationships and makups of your CLR applications.
