ClubStarterKit - where do we go? by zowens

Wow, what a year. Not exactly what I'd expected. Before I dive into where we are now, let me preface this post by saying I have NOT forgotten ClubStarterKit! Although I was not the original author, I feel like it's my baby. I can't just forget about it...

Source Code conversion as part of a Build Process by zowens

If you're like me, you want a particular piece of code in your particular language. For example, a lot of people want the Club Starter Kit 2.0, 3.0 in C# since it has been written in VB. Me being the lazy open source developer that doesn't get paid :...

Improve ASP.NET Performance - CSSmin by zowens

If you follow Douglas Crockford's wor k, you might know about JSMin , a bit of code written for various languages to optimize JavaScript to make it smaller. One thing it does is makes everything go to one line, eliminating some of the space by removing...

For my New Years Resolution, I'm going to try and start blogging more both here and on my company blog. As a result, I'll most likely revert to these small babies -- Tip of the Day. Hopefully these posts can be short and sweet. Here's the background on...

SubSonic ASP.NET Providers Revisited by zowens

It's been quite a while (2 months actually) since I announced the creation of the SubSonic ASP.NET Providers . Since then, I haven't really done much with the code base, mostly since I have to spread my time out between a lot of things now a-days. But...

I was recently told by a client of mine that the ASP.NET app I developed was WAY TOO SLOW! I had to agree; the site was pinging the database twice on every load of the home page. So I said, "Give me a week... I'll make it work better". I went home feeling...

SubSonic of the Day - The Query tool by zowens

By now, you have probably heard of LINQ. LINQ, as you probably know, stands for Language Integrated Query. The LINQ queries you build inside of C# or VB are baked into the .NET 3.5 framework. SubSonic takes a more traditional approach (right now) and...

SubSonic of the day - Collections by zowens

I am going to start spreading the goodness of SubSonic. I think SubSonic is sometimes overlooked for flashy things such as LINQ and Project JASPER. SubSonic is in a transition point (which is apparent when reading Rob Conery's blog ), but I think the...

Converting to and from VB and C# by zowens

The easiest way to convert from VB to C# or C# to VB is this: learn the language . I am a BIG VB fan. I've been using VB for nearly 6 years, both VB6 and VB as a part of the .NET framework, and I get arround when it comes to VB. But I recently came across...
