Documents Index
===============

This repo includes several documents that explain both high-level and low-level concepts about the .NET runtime. These are very useful for contributors, to get context that can be very difficult to acquire from just reading code.

Book of the Runtime

- [Introduction to the Common Language Runtime](intro-to-clr.md)
- [Mscorlib and Calling Into the Runtime](mscorlib.md)
- [Type Loader](type-loader.md)
- [Method Descriptor](method-descriptor.md)
- [Virtual Stub Dispatch](virtual-stub-dispatch.md)
- [Stack Walking](stackwalking.md)
- [Book of the Runtime FAQ](botr-faq.md)

.NET Runtime Specs
==================

- [CLR Coding Guide](clr-code-guide.md)
- [.NET Standards](dotnet-standards.md)

Decoder Rings
=============

- [.NET Core Glossary](glossary.md)
- [.NET Filename Encyclopedia](dotnet-filenames.md)

Links to other Sources
