The Office 2007 UI Bible
I've started reading a lot about UI in the last couple of months. During the Office 2007 beta process I run into some blog posts from Jensen Harris that I found interesting but I never followed his blog. Now I found a post that aggregates all the content...
Normalization
Pat Helland has been talking about immutable data for a while. He last post on 'Normalization is for sissies' is quite fun. A not-very-accurate post from Dare made me remember about it and pushed me to post this. Pat is playing with two ideas. One is...
Paging in SQL Server

Code Generation - Templating vs CodeDOM and automatic refactoring
We are currently using two code-generation techniques. For the data access and business logic layers, we have a code generator written in Prolog. For the layers on top of that one (i.e, a WS layer or a UI layer) we started using CodeDom and then we switched...
Lazy Loading is a domain problem
Jimmy Nilson says "I see Lazy Load as being something technical, and it is not important for the Domain Model itself." I see Lazy/Eager Load as something very important to the domain problem. When you lazy load you can load data that is not consistent...
