Andres Aguiar's Weblog

I was really busy during PDC and I did not find time to blog or even to keep up with email (BTW, the DeKlarit booth stuff arrived on Monday afternoon so it was ready for the Exhibit Hall reception).

The guy with half the booth is stuck in San Diego, and he will be arriving to L.A. around 2 PM, so it seems the Exhibit Hall will open and our booth will still be unfinished.

One of the main complains about ADO.NET it's that you cannot write code that is database independent.

I've been playing with Ruby the latest couple of weeks (and I'm not the only one ;).

Miguel has interesting comments about Java and .NET.

We all know DataSets are not good when you want to serialize them, because they always are serialized as XML + the XML-Schema even if you are using a binary formatter. This implies you get a big serialization payload and bad serialization performance each time you transfer a DataSet using Remoting or when you store a DataSet in a ASP.NET session variable, just to mention two common scenarios.
