Adding .NET nanoFramework as well? #12

Open Ellerbach opened 11 months ago

Ellerbach commented 11 months ago

.NET nanoFramework is a .NET implementation for microcontrollers (MCU). The project is independent from Microsoft, open source and under MIT license, see the GitHub repo and allows to run C# code on an MCU. There is API alignement with .NET IoT for all the GPIO, I2C, SPI as well as the bindings (sensors, small screen, etc) allowing code reusability. There is as well Azure IoT certified hardware and an API aligned library as well. Today, we have more than 15.5 million nuget downloads. See https://www.nuget.org/profiles/nanoframework

So, does it make sense to add content similar to the .NET IoT one?

Being part of the .NET nanoFramework maintainer, I'll be happy to provide content for beginners. We do already have quite some and a full dedicated samples repository.

Hey @Ellerbach, thanks for the comment! This sounds like a cool idea. Tagging @CamSoper who developed our IoT series for his thoughts.

From my perspective, I think it's a great idea! The only thing I would point out @katiesavage, as Laurent mentioned, it's not a MSFT project, it's .NET Foundation. I don't know if maybe ScottHa (or whoever else owns the Beginner Series vision) should sign off on that, just to be sure we're not crossing any lines we weren't aware of.

Let me know if you need anything, @Ellerbach! I'm happy to help!
