My friend Diego Guidi is the smartest GIS/.NET developer I personally know here in Italy. He is the developer of NetTopologySuite, the port in the .NET world of the popular Java’s JTS Topology Suite from VIVID Solutions. I wanted, sooner or later, write some stuff here about WMS and TMS, and now I am very happy that Diego asked me to publish this brilliant article about this topic.
