Matthew MacDonald's new book 'Peer-to-Peer with VB .NET'  was at the local Borders Books. Chapter 12 is devoted to Messenger and Groove development. I think I am going to get this one albeit I wish it had it in C# code though.

A real good one at OReilly's - Five Habits for Successful Regular Expressions. Along the way check out Roy's pages on Reg Exps.

Don Box has a weblog posting about Indian Restaurants. Nice taste. Don, next time you are on the East Coast, let me know - I know quite a few good ones in Boston and New York.

The RTC Client API v1.2 SDK was released recently - I was wondering if anyone has 'managed' to wrap it for .NET development. There is a mention of creating the interop assembly albeit the samples are for VC++ and VB6 and only one for C#. The RTC (Real Time Comm) is now officially called the Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2003 and it's something to look forward to.

There have been far too many cries about Linux being cheaper but this article from a Harvard B-School professor offers insights as to why it may not be so.

The current issue of WIRED has an illustrative article on XP at H-P. That's Extreme Programming (XP). I was wondering if XP is more prevalent in non-Windows platform or not. Are they any studies that show the correlation between XP and the various development platforms? Inquiring minds want to know.

Very interesting article in the Windows Developer magazine. A cursory look shows it certainly measures upto Java ... ;-)
