Today I'm going to tell you a little story about me. I think of myself as your typical description of a geek . Passionate about all things technological, eager to find out how the inner details work together, a movie and music lover, and spending too much time behind a computer. Having all those feats, over the course of twenty years , result in getting out of touch with the what interests the large part of the population. I don't care about soccer, drinking, going out or making a complete fool out of myself. I can talk for hours about some architecture however, or about techy pranks . But you know what? My surroundings don't have a clue what I'm talking about, usually ending up in me not bothering anymore. Same for taste of...

Well, Justin Etheredge tagged me in Michael Eaton’s software development meme that’s been going around.
As far as blog-chain-letters go, this is a great one. It’s interesting to see how many diverse backgrounds lead us in the same direction. How old were you when you started programming?

How did you get started in programming?

This week I unexpectedly found myself at Microsoft in Seattle. I was contracted by Microsoft Learning as a Subject Matter Expert to do some work on a couple of their upcoming certification exams for developers. It was my first time engaging with Microsoft in this area and I found it very interesting and challenging. There is actually a very well-defined standard process that the development of every exam must go through, before it is offered as a "live" exam. It was an interesting few days - and then I had also made some time to meet with other contacts at corp to see what is going on inthe differnet groups, especially as they are all gearing up for the new fiscal year (July 1).

So I *finally* managed to get a videocast/podcast done. Wally has been harassing me for ages, and I eventually had the time to get one done. This one is on the Peer to Peer support in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and how easy it is to do. Its remarkably simple yet extremely powerful. I hope you enjoy it.

En múltiples reuniones hemos visto este tema, en múltiples websites y blogs se habla al respecto, pero si quieres comprender a profundidad el verdadero significado del Agile Manifesto te recomiendo leer este artículo escrito por Martin Fowler y Jim Highsmith publicado en bien reconocido website del Dr Doob No has leido el Manifesto? ok se los comparto The Manifesto for Agile Software Development Seventeen anarchists agree: We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.

El día de ayer Scott gu nos sorprendió con la noticia de que en horas de la mañana se había liberado los SP1 para VS2008 y .net 3.5 en versión beta. Realmente existen un montón de adiciones y mejoras, sin embargo si eres de las personas que no puede esperar y quieres tener siempre lo último, hay varias consideraciones que tienes que tomar en cuenta. En lo personal no recomiendo probar el SP1 en un ambiente critico y real de producción, pueden utilizar una Virtual PC y allí poner a prueba las nuevas características. Si tienen planificado hacer la instalación del SP1 considerar lo siguiente: Si tienen instalado el VS 2008 tools for Silverlight 2, deberan des-instalarlo Si instalaron el bug...
