The evil of the Office UI ribbon license
For the next major version of a certain application I'm working on (gee, what might that be ) I'm researching some UI frameworks and techniques. In the past few months I've spend most of my time working on application support library code, language designs...

Developing Linq to LLBLGen Pro, part 12
(Updated Wednesday 30-jan-2008). It was mentioned that we would implement 'Skip' as well, although we already had a paging method added, TakePage(). After carefull analysis, we decided not to implement Skip for now. The reason is that it can lead to confusing...

Developing Linq to LLBLGen Pro, part 10
(This is part of an on-going series of articles, started here ) Whoa, almost a month without an update! The truth is that I wanted to finish GroupBy support before posting another article in this ongoing series, and it took almost 3 weeks to get it right...

Categorizing Software Engineers
Jeff Atwood posted a nice blog post today about The Two Types of Programmers . I always like to refer to programmers by using the term 'Software Engineer', when they're software engineering. The term 'programmer' is often associated with a 'code monkey...

Developing Linq to LLBLGen Pro, part 8
(This is part of an on-going series of articles, started here ) Today I managed to arrive back at the point I stopped with my current code base a couple of weeks ago to re-implement the expression tree reduction code. I'm not totally done with re-connecting...

Developing Linq to LLBLGen Pro, part 7
(This is part of an on-going series of articles, started here ) Last time I talked about the switch to the approach where most Queryable extension methods should be seen as sets on their own. What happened after that? Well, initially, I continued on the...

Developing Linq to LLBLGen Pro, part 6
(This is part of an on-going series of articles, started here ) I switched to 'part' posts instead of 'day' posts, as I realized the initial plan (post every day) isn't that useful in this case ("Today I stared at 20 lines of code for 3 hours before I...

More on the .NET sourcecode and its 'Reference License'
Today I read an interesting post by Arne Vajhøj in the C# newsgroup. He brought up the point that in the Java research license, which was the license the Java sourcecode was released under before it was released under the GPL, a clause was added...

Don't look at the sourcecode of .NET licensed under the 'Reference license'
Update: If you think I should be shouting 'awesome' and similar words like most of the .NET community members, please take a walk down the path of 'licenses', something you all should be familiar with in every cell in your body, but by the look of all...
