Who's the Raymond Chen of .NET?

Which C#/.NET blogs do you read?

I've found reading The Old New Thing to be an incredible learning experience (multithreading, COM, asking myself "What would Raymond do?", don't use the desktop window for anything modal, this behavior in Windows seems stupid, but here's why). I've just discovered Larry Osterman for even more Win32 goodness.

I'm starting to program in C# 3.5 for WinForms and ASP .NET development as part of my job and I was wondering what the equivalent .NET programming blogs that cover the nitty-gritty of .NET and why things work and why they don't.

I've seen cbrumme started to have some really promising articles but the blog is no longer maintained.

I'm aware the former blogs I've posted touch briefly on .NET (Do not write in-process shell extensions in managed code) but I'm after more content.

So... who's the Raymond Chen of .NET?

Answer 1

I'd recommend Eric Lippert's blog, "Fabulous Adventures in Coding", as he goes into very intricate detail about C# and .NET much in the same way Raymond Chen does.

I'd also recommend "Jon Skeet: Coding Blog". It probably needs no introduction, but it typically talks about .NET topics in great detail. The only drawback is that there will be Java content as well, so you might have to filter it (if that's an issue for you).

Answer 2

• Eric Lippert
• Scott Gu
• Scott Hanselman

Answer 3

Marc Gravell (posts here with some excellent answers), Codethinked.Com (don't remember guy's name) come to mind.
