What is the .NET landscape to date and going into the next year - part 1
When I started playing with LINQ, I needed to get some clarity on this in my mind, so in the spirit of Linnaeus, Mendeleev and Gell-Mann, I put together a graphic that showed the generations of the various bits, and after talking with friends thought it was worth sharing:

Update:  Daniel Moth has a better graphic for the same data on his blog first.  Shame, not an image map. :-)

Mohammad Adil Akif also has a version in his blog.

...This is the blog version - the original form was a Post-It note.
...And in the spirit of Web 0.9 (which came before Web 2.0 :-) the graphic is an image map :-)

I know there is much more coming, like the Dynamic Language Runtime, Domain-Specific Language tools, Silverlight, and so on.   I've also chosen not to call out the versions of Team System, both in the interest of clarity.

I have to say that both this and your follow up post are pretty much rephrasing my existing two posts on the same topic that clearly "inspired" you, but if that is aimed to further spread the knowledge to the community, so be it. Thanks.
