Understanding the benefit of a good IDE
Tyler posted a link to a blog post about someone preferring a text editor over an integrated development environment (IDE) . Naturally, my first thought is, wow, who thinks like this? My first real exposure to development work was with the old ASP, which...
ReSharper 4.0 is out!
The best $199 you'll ever spend if you use Visual Studio... http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/
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...

The FTP functionality in VS2008 is still hopelessly broken
There are three things that they didn't fix. 1) It's still slow. Really slow. That's made worse by... 2) When it can't connect, it just locks up VS and you're screwed. End process. Forget whether you should check the "passive mode?" Save your work first...
ReSharper: It's too hard to go without
The cats at JetBrains imply that ReSharper 3.0 works in VS2008 , but really, well, not so much. It seems to have a hard time seeing properties in a code behind of objects on the page. I swear I remember encountering that in 2005 as well, but I don't remember...
Some initial impressions with VS2008
What a difference a couple of years makes. When Visual Studio 2005 was in the works and I was writing my book, I spent a lot of time following the development of the product in the year prior to its release. This time around, I really didn't. On one hand...
The weirdness between VS dev server and IIS
Every once in awhile I find some strange differences between IIS and the ASP.NET dev server that comes in Visual Studio. The previous item was that IIS seems to have at least two instance of HttpModules, while the dev server only has one. The new one...
