BYTES.NET

Starting in January 2020 the major goal of the BYTES.NET project was wrapping up an aggregating codes from various PoC- and MVP projects to create a reusable and easy to use code base for rapid prototyping and software development.

Since most of the original code was written in VB.net, the initial versions have been developed in Visual Basic.NET entirely, targetting the .NET 4.6 runtime. Version 1.0.0 of the NuGet package was published in January 2020 on nuget.org.

Since those days, not only the .NET ecosystem has been envolved. There had been some significant changes for the project itself:

Creating a more stable environment for development, the project was taken over by the hauptstadtbytes GmbH, founded in 2021 and located in Berlin.
Following a decision, already made in 2020, the code is currently refactored to a c# code base for version 2.x, targetting multiple .NET framworks/ versions.
The development roadmap and deployment strategy is going to be optimized, enabling developers to test and use pre-release features as well as using the stable LTS versions of the framework for business-level applications.

Beside that, ''the basic principles** have not been chaged (and will never):

Academic and non-commercial projects and institutions can use the libraries and tools free of charge (see the public End-User License Agreement for details).
Although there might be some commercial extensions availible in the future, the source code of the core framework will be public available via Github.
The project's value is based on the community and customer feedback. So, please feel free to place any feedback via e-mail.
