Roslyn Succinctly

by Alessandro Del Sole

Microsoft has only recently embraced the world of open source software, offering many pieces of the .NET Framework architecture as open source projects. One of the most significant projects is Roslyn, Microsoft's C# and Visual Basic compilers rewritten entirely in managed code. With Roslyn Succinctly by Alessandro Del Sole, you will learn how the platform grants developers greater freedom to build tools for other developers, how to build your own tools, and how to share them with the development community.

This book was fascinating. Lots of people use Visual Studio and C#/VB programming languages to make computer programs. But not many (probably) stop to think about how exactly Visual Studio makes available intellisense, solution/project management and refactoring. Fewer still realize that with Roslyn libraries you can actually make your own intellisense and refactoring tools! This very short book covers how to actually do these things. If you're a VS programmer and want to know more about the nuts and bolts of VS and Roslyn, this is a fantastic place to start!
