Over the past several months I have been developing a forthcoming portfolio of my past works in Silverlight. Over the course of this project, I have developed several reusable controls that I have decided to release open source under the MIT License (MIT ftw). As the title of this blog post suggests, the name of this new library is Quasar. You can download 0.1 Alpha here.
I am attempting to release this library using an approach similar to what the Silverlight Toolkit team has done. That is, to have quality bands that represent my confidence in the RFPT (ready for prime time) status of these controls. Currently I have thrown all the controls and behaviors into the “pre-Alpha” band. Robust unit tests and sample usage will be forthcoming soon, but I’d love any and all feedback about this library. Enjoy!
