Announcing the release of Microsoft Source Analysis for C#

Excerpt from the post...

We are very excited to announce the release of a new developer tool from Microsoft, Source Analysis for C#. This tool is known internally within Microsoft as StyleCop, and has been used for many years now to help teams enforce a common set of best practices for layout, readability, maintainability, and documentation of C# source code.

Source Analysis is similar in many ways to Microsoft Code Analysis (specifically FxCop), but there are some important distinctions. FxCop performs its analysis on compiled binaries, while Source Analysis analyzes the source code directly. For this reason, Code Analysis focuses more on the design of the code, while Source Analysis focuses on layout, readability and documentation. Most of that information is stripped away during the compilation process, and thus cannot be analyzed by FxCop.

Desert Code Camp

Desert Code Camp is coming back to Tempe, AZ.

This is the third time we've run Desert Code Camp, and each time it keeps getting bigger! Those who were with us in the past always seem to sign up to attend again, and each time it gets better and better.  Folks even fly in from as far away as Florida and Canada to attend.  Why?  This free weekend event brings out top talent and high-quality presentations.  There is no right or wrong language, platform, or technology.  If a topic relates in any way to the code that causes a machine to produce a desired result, you'll find it being discussed at camp.
