I've been spending some time checking out Duncan Bayne's blog where he is discussing some of his run-ins with InstallShield. I ran across a particularly interesting post where Duncan and some commenters got into a debate over which product is worse -...

I just bought my PDC tickets today. I sure hope I win the contest - here's my pdc contest entry post . I'm going to hold off on the airline and hotel reservations until I'm sure everything pans out. If I won I was thinking about taking my video camera...

I am working on an article regarding installers and looking at the whole market. So what installer tools do you use? Whether you're using the VS.NET built-in setup support or a 3rd party commercial or free-ware package I'd be interested to hear about...

I entered the "blog to the pdc" competition last night but now I'm wondering about the gamble this involves. If I don't buy a ticket now, I risk the conference selling out. But then I'm potentially out an additional 2k for travel and hotel expenses in...

With all the talk about certifications like CMM over the past couple of years, Mary Poppendieck's article titled "Toward a New Definition of Maturity" really hits the mark. She discusses the potential faults of decomposing large tasks into separate, compartmentalized...
