New ASPToday Column
I have the pleasure of starting my very own column at ASPToday starting in April. My column is going to focus on providing practical information about .NET. A couple of the reoccurring areas in the column are going to be about building custom controls, working with datagrids, and ways to actually use some of the various namespaces and classes. The column is not just going to be how to do something, but why it should be done a certain way or why not. The idea for the column came from this article at angrycoder.com, Mr. Goodyear inspired me to contact Wrox about writing a column that focuses on how to actually use some of this stuff, instead of all the "Hey cool, I can draw a triangle" articles. I am also going to try and write the article for the crowd that already knows and uses .NET, meaning I will not explain what a friggin datagrid or hashtable is, we will see how that works out.
