Not so long time ago on GotDotNet I came across patterns & practices Guidance Explorer which is a tool to serve .NET and ASP.NET application developer with guidance on patterns, security and performance.

How to use it? Authors created this tool with the following scenarios in mind:

  • Improve the security and performance of your application with guidelines and checklists that match your application exactly.
  • You can build custom sets of guidance and share with your team as recommended practice.
  • You can add new guidance to the library to share with your team, your company or the larger development community.

    Guidance Explorer is under continous development and will evolve in time. The library is released weekly, and the explorer software bi-weekly.

    You should definitely try it every time you have a security, performance or just pattern issue to solve. Just use expertise from patterns & practices Guidance Explorer!
