dotnetIQ (Microsoft .NET IQ) assist:
- Interviewee: Preparing for interviews
- Interviewer: Questions for giving interviews
- Day-to-day on the job reference
- Overall knowledge enhancement
dotnetIQ covers a broad range of topics, which are expected to be part of any .NET developers toolbox. These topics include JavaScript, CSS (cascading style sheets), MS SQL Server, and design patterns to start with.
dotnetIQ is laid out in a question/answer format...or more specifically, topic and explanation. Most explanations provide practical examples to help solidify the concepts. Rather than providing short, direct answers to each term, the application expands on the term, covering several related areas. Code examples are provided as needed. The goal is to give enough information so that you know more than the average developer about a particular area and can give a better answer than the person asking the question (i.e. interviewer). You'll also be aware of what to lookup for drilling down further into each topic.
You can study anywhere since an Internet connection is not needed. Although if you have one, lots of specific topic references are available from MSDN, W3C, Wikipedia, w3schools.com and more for further reading, which are also cached for quicker reloading and offline studying. Rotate explanations into landscape view. Version 1.3 includes 117 topics.
Topics include:
- Windows Forms (winforms)
- Web (ASP.NET, AJAX, CSS, JavaScript)
- .NET Framework Foundations
- ASP.NET MVC
- Design Patterns
- Database (MS SQL Server, structuring queries)
- Microsoft .NET Exams (2.0 and 3.5)
- Developer Environment
- LINQ & Lambdas
- Personalities
- Miscellaneous
- WPF
- Video Demonstrations
Additionally, dotnetIQ includes:
- Working projects that can be emailed from topics
- Icons per topic indicating if video or project is available
As always, feel free to email your .NET programming related questions to support for some quick advice.

Customer Reviews
Great App
As a student, I spend a lot of time referencing small tidbits of helpful information. Usually I have to sift through a few web sites before finding what I need. This app zooms in on those concepts such as the Dispose() method, the Using statement and the normal form model of database design. A new version is coming soon with video demo's and much more content, so I'm really happy with my purchase. Would love to see this turn into a really robust application!
Great app! Poor reviewers don't seem to get it.
OF COURSE the world wide web has more information on .net - it's stupid to complain about the volume of content in an app like this.
I'm a .net and SQL Server expert who does a lot of short term contract work.
So I may spend 3 months working on nothing but SSIS, then walk into an interview for an ASP.net role.
This killer app just reminds me what we're likely to discuss in that interview, and provides valuable links to refresh my deeper knowledge.
But I don't expect it to teach me anything I don't already know, and it's silly for anyone to expect that.
Not for the serious .NET developer
I downloaded this app after reading the description and was pretty disappointed with it. It's just a series of menus with miscellaneous topics, some of which are interesting, but none of which are in-depth enough to offer any valuable insight into .NET programming. I've been a .NET developer for several years, and can't see how this would enrich an advanced developer or help a junior developer become more advanced. Nothing beats a good book about a topic, or even just a quick Google search for that matter. Also, there are minimal code examples, and no visuals to help out. Save your money and more importantly, your time.
