.NET technology stack, including frameworks, SDKs, tools etc
Have you ever wondered:
- what technologies .NET really includes?
- how many do I possess?
I could not find a really comprehensive diagram that shows the .NET technology stack, so I come up with my own version.
There might be issues here and there, like the category, the individual ones, but the beautity is you can modify it as you want.
