RHS has a great little piece on Hungarian Notation . I particularly liked his affinity towards 'C' and how he started on it a couple of decades ago (a not too different experience for me as I recall). Since we are on the topic of language evolution & naming conventions - I am reminded of Fortran...

Back in my Win32 days (~decade ago), one of my tasks was to train/mentor VB developers for VC++. I learned a lot from that experience and was quite successful at it. In quite a few recent weblog postings, I see something similar - the transition from C# from VB.NET (“ the language of choice “ matter...

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.

Two very good posts in the past day - Frans Bouma's ' #define debugging testing ' and Simon Mourier's 'Debugging process considered harmful' . Both with equally very valid arguments. For this post, I'll mention some readings that'll be beneficial in the debugging process (there's nothing like learning...

I read a good argument for not having the 'Java vs. .NET' debate and I concur. The debate can be quite misinformed and counterproductive. Let Amazon be the referee - C# for Java Programmers C# for Java Developers Professional .NET for Java Developers Using C# .NET for Java Developers: Migrating to C#...
