  • Random Observation

    The people that probably know the most are also the ones trying hardest to learn.

  • Be careful using Server.Transfer

    Server.Transfer bypasses the authorization for the page you redirect to. So if you use Server.Transfer instead of Response.Redirect (for other pros and cons of each see this article on managing navigation in ASP.NET by the excellent Mike Gunderloy ), make sure that the authorization to access the target...

  • [Verbatim Identifiers: Part 2]

    Paul Laudeman commented on my Verbatim Identifier post on how to differentiate identifiers from keywords in VB.NET. I didn't want this to be lost in the comments section of the post, so I am reproducing his comment in its entirety. For anyone who is interested, the way to escape keywords in Visual Basic...

  • The Design of Everyday...

    I brushed off my copy, it actually was dirty, thanks to my recent move, of The Design of Everyday Things and reread it over the weekend. I have the 1990 edition (white cover). For those who have not read this wonderful usability tome, it discusses how difficult it is to use things that used to be simpler...

  • Verbatim Identifier

    Mark Michaelis posts about Using @ to Disambiguate Keywords from Identifiers in C# . So, if you want to call a class “class”, you could do it like this: class @class { static void Main () { @static( false ); } public static void @static( bool @bool) { if (@bool) System. Console .WriteLine...

  • Development team facade

    One of Extreme Programming's practices is OnSite Customer (also see Martin Fowler's definition of OnsiteCustomer ). Although it is good if each programmer can constantly ask questions of the customer whenever they need to, it is not good if the customer has the same ability. Anytime the customer wants...

  • Everybody's in on it!

    Mark DiGiovanni , one of several excellent developers I have had the pleasure of working with, has started a blog right here on DotNetJunkies weblogs ! Subscribed, of course. Now if only we could get Brendan and Eric in....

  • Microsoft Programming Languages according to Microsoft

    MSDN just published an article on Microsoft Programming Languages . Here's a summary (all terms are as presented in the white paper): VB.NET: task-oriented development C#: code-focused development Managed C++: power-oriented development J#: Java language development Very interesting reading...

  • Grant Killian is blogging

    ”Surround yourself with people smarter than you.” And with that, I would like to welcome to the blogging community Grant Killian , President and co-founder (with me!) of the WeProgram.NET user group!

  • Blaster worm blogging: whose fault is it?

    There are a bunch of posts over on .NET Weblogs @ ASP.NET about the blaster worm and whose fault it is (see the original post , one response , another , and another ). Basically one side, the developers, says sysadmins are to blame. The other side, the sysadmins, says that they are not to blame, they...

  • Paul Laudeman is blogging

    Fellow DotNetJunkie and my long time buddy Paul Laudeman is blogging. He worked with me at our last company and got me my job at our current company. If he's half the writer as he is a developer, you're in for a treat. Subscribed!

  • Pair Programming: the good, the bad, and the ugly

    I've been doing pair programming for the last week and-a-half (in T-SQL). I've done pair design and code reviews before, but never tried true pair programming. It is pretty hard, let me tell you. First, the good points. We finished in just over 2 days what was scheduled to be completed in 5 days. The...

  • First time on a fast connection

    Hi-speed Internet baby! Woo-hoo!!!

  • The Balance of Power in IT

    Steve Maine had a good post on Yukon and the balance of power in IT . I agree completely. The days of the strict "Admin DBA" are numbered (hopefully, anyway). Since most software development is moving to a more collaborative model, you cannot say "I only deal with schema," or any other specific technology...
