ReSharper 4.0 is out!
The best $199 you'll ever spend if you use Visual Studio... http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/
Distributed caching: Velocity
This post by Scott has me thinking a bit about caching. It's a topic that I'm sure every ASP.NET developer has had to deal with, but it's funny how you can be around something so much over time that you cease to think critically about it. That's certainly...
I'm late to the party: C# 3.0 rocks
I know this is lame, but whatever. In my day job we haven't jumped beyond .NET v2.0, which I think is reasonable. In my own part-time self-employment projects, I haven't really developed anything new either, at least not on the server side of things....
ReSharper 4.0 beta posted
http://resharper.blogspot.com/2008/05/resharper-4-beta.html And there was much rejoicing... Truth be told, I never understood the need or desire for IDE plugins. Then about a year ago, one of my co-workers was demoing something and kept making changes...
Anatomy of an ASP.NET site for amusement park fanboys
This is a post I've meant to write for a very long time. Since 1998, my part-time job of sorts has been to maintain a number of community sites. One of those, started ten years ago, was Guide to The Point . "The Point" in this case is Cedar Point, an...
Video, Flash and Silverlight
I've been having a good time messing around with video this week, even though I haven't been able to commit a lot of time to it. As I mentioned before, it's a little frustrating that I essentially have to relearn Final Cut Pro shortcuts and such over...
.NET is teh suX0rz!!11! (And Ars' editorial standards are on the decline)
I love Ars Technica, but I think they're slipping. While the articles they post in the legal realm are fascinating, when they get down to writing about bits, they get the most uninformed jackasses they can find. Check out this steaming pile of crap on...
Observations on VS2008, .NET v3.5 after four months
Wow, can you believe the new versions have been with us already for one-third of a year? Time flies! I launched a site using the new versions shortly after release, so I'm happy to say that my experience in production has been mostly positive. Here are...

The ASP.NET community's only real problem is education
After reading this post from Dan Hounshell (via Rob Howard's post ), I'm drawn to more questions about "what's wrong with the ASP.NET community," and I'm still convinced that people are asking the wrong questions. To really understand where we are, I...
Leo Laporte and TWIT are getting out of touch: "Web developers don't like Microsoft"
I was listening to TWIT #136 and, wow, Leo Laporte is totally out of touch. Patrick Norton is not far behind. Listen starting around 36:30. I've found that lately these guys are hanging out in Pundit Valley and completely missing what's going on in the...
