With ring-sde seats to one of the most colorful periods of .NET history, alt.net explorer Scott Bellware rewinds the clock to the early days of open source and agile development struggling to get a foothold in the Microsoft world. This retrospective walks the timeline from the days when the community was a loose conglomeration of developers scattered around the world who had never met face-to-face, to a tightly-knit weave of friendships and efforts that left a lasting impression on the .NET community as a whole, and on software development on the .NET platform. And while the last chapter of the story was perhaps more reminiscent of the Red Wedding episode of Game of Thrones, it's hard to deny the influence that alt.net and its people had. This is one participant's recount of those pivotal days, good, bad, and maybe even a little ugly.
