Open Source

The .NET Framework has attracted the attention of many talented software developers, resulting in a vibrant community developing open source tools and frameworks. Welcome to the world of ALT.NET.

The availability of source code, online support, documentation and passion behind alternative tools and frameworks often makes a compelling case for adoption in favour of the Microsoft equivalent.

We participate within this community both online and in-person at user group events. Our enthusiasm for software development is enriched by our involvement and contribution to this growing community.
