cdXpo Presentation Coming Soon..

Hiding in the shadow of PDC is a few other conferences, one of which I plan on participating in a panel with a few other community members...

1:15pm-2:15pm Choosing the Right Programming Language Means Saving Time and Money, Part 1
Programmers and developers decide to use the programming language they are most familiar with to accomplish a task, and managers are usually fine with that or don't know better. But that doesn't mean it is the best tool for the job. Join a panel of developers who have experience programming with multiple languages, and learn how to evaluate languages to determine which ones are appropriate for which projects. Part 1 of 2.

Compilation of Whidbey (.NET V2) Links, Books, Blogs, etc...

Ive started a compilation of everything that I can find having to do with .NET V2 (Whidbey).  The main list is located here.  It is on a slow server, so be patient.

If you know of anything that Ive missed click the “Feedback” link below and send me the link.

 

Introducing .NET Generics
Now that the PDC is underway, and it is AFTER the 26th those of us that had access to .NET V2 in all of its coolness are allowed to finally discuss details.  My first article is the feature that I like the most within the new version of the Framework, Generics.
 
Introducing .NET Generics
http://www.15seconds.com/issue/031024.htm
Genrics is new feature in .NET v2.0. This article explains Generics, shows how to create them, and includes some simple examples of where they could be useful.
 
 
Look for more V2 stuff in the future.

Automatic Interface skeleton's, the poor man's approach...

Since VS.NET (Not 2003) does not automagically shove the skeleton of an interface into our code for us when we state that we are implementing it, the poor man's approach to doing so (with out macro's or the other fancy cr*p) would be to open up Reflector, finding the interface, and hit space.  It should produce the outline in the right pane for you.  Copy and paste into your class, now all you gotta do is finish the implementation.  Lastly since Reflector supports both C# and VB.NET it works well for both sides of the fence.

Back to work...
