.NET Basics & Glossary

For explaining .NET concepts and terms to your boss. ;-)

Groove NewsClient (Weblog) Tool Testing Space

I rolled out yet another Groove space - this one is for testing Hugh Pyle's Groove NewsClient Tool. This weblog reader is embedded within a Groove space - it's quite a 'shared experience'. You can download an invitation to the space from my workspace in Gotdotnet. There are two other spaces that may be of interest - Groove Developer and Groove Mobile Computing/Wireless-tech. (You must have Groove installed of course).

Great Scott ! Thanks Scott !

Deeply appreciative of your kind work & support.

Winpcab lib in C#

The WinPcap packet-capturing library which was used profusely in C/C++ network apps is now (partially) in C#.  Sweet.

Conn MS .NET Developer SIG meeting

Last night at the Connecticut .NET Developer SIG meeting, there were two presentations: DataGrid (via ASP.NET) and *Data Binding. Both were very interesting but the latter presentation on *DB by Curt Koppang stole the show. Curt is the local DotNet Guru with cutting-edge topics - his prior presentation a few months back, on Web Services in .NET was another good one.

College course in writing viruses

Yup.. for real... at the University of Calgary. Yikes... I didn't even have that in graduate school. Apparently, it's the first course of its kind.

NETMaster

While perusing the C# and .NET newsgroups, I came across NETMaster (aka Thomas Scheidegger from Switzerland). A prolific contributor to the newsgroups (he was awarded the MVP) and he also maintains the C# and .NET links at Cetus Links. Danke NETMaster.

Generics for VB?

Now that C# Generics  is around the corner, I was wondering about generics for other languages - namely, VB. Is that in the works? Just curious.

Groove DevZone's new look and a RSS Feed

Groove DevZone  has a new look which is more than a face-lift as it also has a RSS Feed  to new postings and tech notes. Sweet.
