Just My Code

  • J2EE vs. .NET "Smackdown"

    I think both companies did an excellent job and I was very happy to hear them acknowledge the importance of live events, in a variety of different formats. If an event such as this is organized in your area, I think it's definitely worth going to: it is, of course, primarily a marketing exercise by both companies, but I think the content was quite substantial and provided audience members a good understanding of the substantive issues of the platform decision.

  • Wikis

    We wanted to see what happened if we installed a Wiki ‘on the wild’ for internal use in our company. It was quite interesting.

  • .NET vs J2EE Smackdown

    I've been asked to be one of the judges for next Monday's .NET vs. J2EE "Smackdown" event in Redwood Shores, which will have reps from Microsoft and Sun slinging code on stage. It ought to be a blast and apparently there are still plenty of seats available, so if you're in the Bay Area, check it out.

  • Anders Hejlsberg OOPSLA C# Powerpoints

    Anders presentation from OOPSLA contains some code samples of features that will be coming in the next major version of C# (note that these features are not in the Everett Visual Studio release which is due shortly; these features will probably be hitting the streets around a year from now.)

  • dotEASY

    "dotEASY is a Visual Studio .Net Add-in that evaluates C# source code and performs 'advices' in order to improve software quality. A new 'advice' can be created defining metrics, thresholds and optionally programming validation classes and execution classes to automatically modify the code."
