Unfounded fears of 70%
I think that ASP.Net 2.0 will help newbies to embark on the .Net boat. But it surely not going to reduce our time. IMHO it would be unprofessional to let .Net doing everything without any tune up.

And the culprit is ...
I was so happy yesterday to found a solution to the General Network Error.
However this morning, I still received few of them, so I decided to find the culprit.
And I got it, it's the Data Application Block I use in many cases. It's a great stuff to have an SQL helper, but it seems for me it's a bit buggy.
After replacing my code with a classic datareader, everything is ok now. Maybe the helper is too chatty :-) -

Living in a Startrek apartment :-)
This is so cool :-)
A company 24th Century Design (surely Janeway is the boss there) can create a full replica of the Enterprise, but as an apartment.
Way to go but for 1 million bucks (surely I can imagine our b0rg Gates invading the place) :-)
This is the bathroom (tactical alert) ! -

Murach's C#
It's nice to see that small editors are catching on the success of .Net and produce such great books.
Now the latest one I bought yesterday is called Murach's C#, written by Joel Murach edited by Mike Murach, published by Murach Editions :-)
If you pass this ego madness, you will find an excellent book, designed for learning C# in concise and clear examples.
I surely recommend this book for any beginners or intermediate developers.
I attended a C# training course for two days, and it's time now that those courses move from the usual factorial class example or the shape-triangle-circle-square class to explain polymorphism.
I found in Murach's book some more practical and almost real world projects.
Check their site to see all the others development books they have. -

SQL Express 2005 Beta 1, a release failure ?
I just wonder if SQL Express 2005 Beta 1 is not finally a big mistake, kind of failure in the Microsoft marketing world.
I read more and more blogs about the difficulty everybody experience with this tool.
After all, it's the MSDE replacement, but the lack of well formed documentation added to the lack of proper UI give a bad start to something surely promising.
Most of the posts I can see are complaining about basic facts (in my opinion they are right for that), and this should not be the case. -
