Goodbye...

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Brendan, and the gang here for all the good times. It's been a great opportunity. I decided with much fear and consideration to set up my own closed blogging community site. I have recently set up my own community blogging site at TheRuntime.com . If you...

I'm a Generics Junkie...

I have a confession to make. You may think it's so 2005, but nonetheless, I'm discovering an addiction that I have. I love generics! I know again it's kind of a late confession. I've loved them before for no longer having to write collection code, but the bigger thing for me has been...

A Night of Ajax in Ohio... October 15th, 2007 at 6:00 pm

Ok, we have a location and a date. Monday, October 15th, 2007 at the MS offices in Cleveland. The address is 6050 Oak Tree Blvd, Cleveland, Ohio 44131. Click here for a map . We will have pizza and soft drinks. It's going to be a fun time. I'll be speaking for about 2 hours giving my Intro to...

Should We Be Abstracting SQL Connections into Objects???

[I know I have your attention. So before you start reading this thinking it's an anti-ORM post or something of that nature. It's not. It's about something entirely different (look at the tags). I am actually attacking a fairly popular notion that I have run into a bit recently and while I...

Customer Service and a new Laptop...

About 3 weeks ago, my laptop's 1 year warranty ran out. So you can almost imagine where this is going... The good news is that my laptop had a major issue about 1 month ago (yep, 1 week before warranty ran out). What happened? Well I was tweaking Vista and noticed that there was a recommended BIOS...

A Night Of Ajax In Ohio (Akron-Cleveland Area) In October

Dave Balzer (of DevAuthority fame) and I have been talking about my trips to Ohio once a month, and how I have been itching to speak (and would really love to speak in the State of my birth). We need to plan far in advance so that Dave can get a place lined up. He (not me) probably should put some kind...

BDD, Git 'R Done (GRD) Dev, and Testing progress

A few weeks ago I wrote a comment on Scott Bellware's blog that, like a lot of the TDD crowd, I was becoming enamored with BDD. I think I probably perplexed Scott a bit until he realized that I was leaving out the TDD component which I guess in the truest sense is of the methodology can't really...

Future Silverlight 1.1 Frameworks...

I've been in a fairly interesting discussion in email with Justin-Josef Angel . I won't get into the full content of the email for now. But we were discussing the merits of Silverlight (SL) 1.1, and I mentioned something that I have been thinking about for a bit. I decided it's a theoretical...

Tampa Code Camp ".NET as an Alternative to JS in the Browser" Slides and Demos...

Ok, I'm finally posting my slides and demos from my Silverlight and Script# talk at the Tampa Code Camp this past July. Since Silverlight 1.1 Alpha Refresh just came out (and so did VS 2008 Beta 2), I went ahead and updated my Silverlight demos to use latest bits... [tags: SIlverlight demos, Script#...

Why does Live.com search suck??!!

Ok, I maybe violating a rule here, but I gotta say it (in fact this post is directed at a particular somebody at MS who has caused me to ponder Google's role in my life). Tonight I'm trying to pull up 1 simple thing. I want to download the VS 2008 beta 2 on my computer "at work" (which...

MS Ajax JSP Tags v0.10 ... Now with an UpdatePanel

I just thought I would announce an update to my JSP tags that target the MS Ajax client in JSP apps. The big announcement is that I have an UpdatePanel! I'm not sure any of the other (non-.NET-based) libraries like this have an UpdatePanel. I know that the ColdFusion one that targets .NET does have...

NE Ohio and Pittsburgh Area -- Available to Speak

So I have a new contract going on right now. This contract takes me to Canton, Ohio once a month. I've found that flying into Pittsburgh is actually cheaper for me (and my client), so I'm also in that area (for a short time... I am a Browns fan) as well. Anyway, take a map and draw a line from...

Review: InCisif.net - web testing for the rest of us

[I'll be making another post on this later, but I gotta talk about this one now... It's very cool!] Personally I have been looking for a set of testing tools that don't require a superhuman effort. In particular I want to regression test a Web site's GUI. Since I do a lot of Ajax stuff...

.NET as an Alternative to JavaScript in the browser talk

Ok, I think I missed announcing this. I'm giving a talk on alternatives to writing JavaScript as the clientscript in the browser. The talk will center around 2 technologies (and be mostly demo-driven). One of the two technologies, Script#, is available today and gives you a translator from C# to...

Better Practices with MS Ajax - Slides

Ok, I finally had the time to post the slides and demo project from my session at the Day of Ajax in Tampa. Sorry , it took so long. I had a trip to Ohio and then some issues at home that have kept me a little busier than normal. Also, sorry for the technical glitches I encountered at Day of Ajax. I'm...
