# Extenso Code Library

## Intro
This project is partly based on a much older project of mine called, MBG Extensions Library, which I wrote back in 2010. There is an article on [CodeProject](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/116940/MBG-Extensions-Library) of which large portions are still applicable to Extenso.Core and parts of Extenso.Data. In any case, Extenso aims to be more than just an extensions library - various other helper classes will be added in separate packages, so you can pick and choose what you like.
