Awesome

Awesome .NET!

A collection of awesome .NET libraries, tools, frameworks, and software.

When you are inspired by community awesomeness then you clone and build upon it. The result is a .NET version of the awesome-* pages here on Git. .NET is a great platform (if you're a .NET dev then you know that already) but the Git community and Open Source community isn't as strong as it should be. So fork, add, change, and let's build a great Git resource for .NET devs!

Shamelessly inspired by awesome-ruby, awesome-php, awesome-python, frontend-dev-bookmarks and ruby-bookmarks.

Contributions are always welcome! Please take a look at the contribution guidelines and quality standard pages first.

Thanks to all contributors, you're awesome and wouldn't be possible without you! The goal is to build a categorized community-driven collection of very well-known resources.
