So easy to sort a DataTable!
Up until now my applications usually return arrays of "business objects" from the middle tier and most of my data UI is geared around handling these arrays. I have a customized DataGrid which handles the paging and sorting of these arrays by default. But tonight, I had a need to sort a simple DataTable since it just wasn't worth creating thousands of "business objects" to store two attributes ... I was impressed at how simple it was to convert my DataGrid to support sorting of the DataTable.

Paired Programming and death to cube farms!
Phillipe on the AgileArticles group posted about a white paper from the Menlo Institute on Paired Programming. It is a great read and provides a pretty compelling argument for giving paired programming (usually the XP principle that gets the most resistance) a try at your organization. I especially liked that it discusses who to pair and answers many of the usual questions that debunkers ask. If you are trying to win over your management team, this paper may give you the ammunition you need! :-)
