This week we present you with the fresh new batch of .NET and C# goodies.

We think there is a pretty healthy ecosystem evolving around .NET lately, so we encourage you to check out even some of the topics you haven’t checked out before. There’s a lot of interesting stuff out there. Or you can stick to your favorite topic and just enjoy the weekend.
