I couldn't be happier for my friend Patrick Smacchia - the creator of NDepend. Anybody who knows me knows that I am NDepend's biggest fan, other than Patrick himself, and really, really want to see the product hit mainstream use and make Patrick rich beyond his wildest dreams!
There wasn't a day that went by that I wasn't able to talk to Patrick, but that was quite difficult. You see, everytime I ran into Patrick, he was being mobbed by groups of developers that were amazed at what NDepend is able to do, and what you are able to do with it. There is no telling how many times he demo'd his product (he even had the opportunity to demo his product to a Microsoft developer group in private), but his enthusiam for the product is matched by nobody, and its great to see how his excitement during demos is passed into those around him, getting them just as excited about the product.
Its amazing to see how many people still do not understand code metrics and how easily available the information is. And then to add on a query language - that just blows people's minds.
Congratulations to my friend Patrick. He and his product were a big success. If you haven't checked it out yet, you don't know what you are missing.
