Software that’s Free… And helps you learn

I've been asked recently about where to find some good sample apps. Their are a whole host of great applications that you can use in a hosted environment or just to learn about .NET – For instance:

Some great examples are:

 

• www.asp.net/starterkits/ end-to-end best practice examples reviewed by the product groups including:
  • Commerce
  • Reports
  • Portal
  • Time tracking
  • Issue tracking
  • Community
• www.dotnetnuke.net – Portal product with a great range of plugins including:
  • News letter
  • Discussion/Forums
  • Membership
  • Reviews
  • …

Obviously, there are plenty more great examples out there – feel free to add any in the comments and I’ll do another post down the track.

  I must admit that I think the controls that are at MetaBuilders is great and you can see the code!
