  • Architecting Web Scalability

    <p>While at TechEd 2008 I had a chance to sit down with <a href="http://udidahan.com/" mce_href="http://udidahan.com/">Udi Dahan</a>
    and the architects of <a href="http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/velocity" mce_href="http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/velocity">Velocity</a>. Udi tells a story of what types of

    Each day we all use everyday things to accomplish everyday tasks. For programmers our everyday tools are arrays, loops and OOP constructs.
