Mint Source...why a sheep??

So, some people have already started downloading Mint Source and are wondering what the heck it is meant to do and why are Microsoft promoting it?!

 

Mint Source is really intended as a fun way for UK students to get access to knowledge and guidance for being a technical student. This can be links to articles of developing with .NET, tutorials on how to customise the Mint Source application, how to compete in the Imagine Cup and other interesting information that could be useful to you. And then we plan to do the not so useful but hopefully still amusing stuff the team likes to mess around with such as taking Mint Source around the world and being photographed in strange places, to when/where we will be on a campus near you.

 

Why did we bother doing this when there are a gazillion RSS aggregators out there?! It's meant as a fun way to get access to the RSS feeds (if you want to use your own reader, like RSS Bandit, then please do so!) and also to understand a little of the developer tools and .NET Framework that went into making it.

 

Have a laugh and play with our little friend Mint Source and also get blog updates when they happen from the team!

 

If you like it or loathe it we'd love to hear why - leave us a comment on the blog...
