Specter BDD Framework

Specter is an object-behaviour specification framework for .NET. It enables behaviour-driven development by requiring developers to write executable specifications for their objects, before actually implementing them. Technologically this is similar to test driven development, however the shift ... [More] in nomenclature removes the psychological barrier of writing "tests" for code that does not exist. (Existing projects implementing this idea include RSpec for Ruby and NSpec for .NET) Specter uses Boo meta-programming features and therefore allows very readable specifications to be written.

vanilla-dotnet

AboutVanilla.NET is a cross-platform graphical user interface toolkit, application framework and desktop environment based on Cairo and the .NET framework. It is written primarily in Boo, however code contributions will be accepted in other languages (e.g. C#). Vanilla.NET is still in development ... [More] and not yet ready for production use. GoalAlternative desktop environment for Unix, Mac and Windows systems Simplicity Usability Eyecandy Solid cross-platform API for standalone application development Same binaries for each platform - write once, run anywhere Heavily abstracted over more rigid native APIs Rapid Application Development/Prototype system, but with simpler, more maintainable code Logical continuation of the RISCOS desktop What is there?The very basics are there - windows, buttons, menus, keyboard handling, etc. SDL backend is working, partial implementation of Gtk backend, native win32 and Quartz backends not yet started See screenshot. What is needed?ContributorsThe project is in desperate need of additional programmers. Documentation, translation and art contributions will be very helpful later on, but right now the code is the first priority. How to contributeDownload the SVN copy of the code. Compile it. Try changing some code in the demos. Familiarise yourself with the Documentation. Then if you'd like to contribute some code, email me. Screenshots [Less]

Pigmeo

Pigmeo is a free multiplatform software project which aims to provide a set of compiler, framework and utilities for developing applications for microcontrollers and embedded systems. Those apps for microcontrollers can be written in any .NET language such as C#, Visual Basic .NET, Nemerle ... [More] , IronPython, C++/CLI... and use any class available in the .NET Framework, plus the classes available in the Pigmeo Framework. [Less]
