After I graduated from the HIO Enschede (B.Sc level) in '94 I have worked with a lot of different platforms and environments: from 4GL's like System Builder, uniVerse and Magic to C++ on AIX to Java to Perl on Linux to C# on .NET. All these platforms...
Today, it's been exactly 6 years ago we released the first version of LLBLGen Pro , v1.0.2003.1 after a development period of roughly 9 months (Sunday september 7th 2003, late in the evening). It was a big gamble, would it succeed or fail? We got our...
(Follow up to: The Firefox 3.5 fiasco ) I'd like to inform the audience that the people over at NSS , the sub-system which is responsible for the disk-trashing behavior of Firefox 3.5 (and the accompanying delays on startup) on some systems, has worked...

More than 1.5 year ago (!) I wrote an article about why change tracking of changes of an entity should really be inside an entity object . Change tracking is the concern of the O/R mapper and the entity object, not the developer using the entity object...
I was a bit surprised about the large scale of the positive hype around 'M' in Oslo. Fortunately, Roger Alsing wrote a 'Back to reality' post about M which stood out as a single critical remark against the sea of positivism. I like it when someone chooses...
