I feel I need to respond to the “ Vote of No Confidence ” on the Entity Framework. I have little interest in petitions. They are by nature backwards looking. To get a group of people to sign onto something they have to either understand it or be driven...
I think it’s important to differentiate between a likable user interface and a good one. A user interface can be likable and bad. It can be good and not likable. I got a comment from my last post that said because someone liked the UI it was good. I disagree...
I have a hundred (ok dozen) finished not quite ready blog posts. Except it’s hard to finish them because I don’t particularly like saying hard things. Negative things. Some of which will be brutal to people I have enormous respect for and consider friends...
For someone that writes software for a living, I have a remarkably hard time using it. I would not have expected "Filter: Ignore" to display no new comments. Ignoring a filter would be more like showing everything. Happily I have friends that...
I'm stepping out of my comfy sandbox again. Not only am I going to Minnesota in February, but I'm also talking to a VSTS user group - to remember that it's not just about code. You can get more information here . I am really looking forward...
Check out .NET Rocks TV this week for the first of two parts on .NET 3.5 languages - that's right C# 3.0 and VB 9 together. It makes sense since most features cross over, and where they don't you'll want a handle on the differences.
I’ll be taping .NET Rocks today with Richard and Carl. The show is due to be posted on January 3.
I’ll also be doing an all day “Introduction to Windows Workflow” talk on Saturday for the Los Angeles .NET Developers Group . If you’re in the area, or can get a great weekend flight rate in, it’s a fabulous deal. I call it “Introduction” because there...
I’m happy to be back at DevConnections in Orlando April 20-23 rd . We’ll be at the Marriott again which is big enough to hold the expanding show. I’ll post soon as to what I’ll be talking about, but I expect to expand on the topics popular in Las Vegas...
I think it’s awesome that John Dvorak is still writing for PC Magazine. The world has spun around many times and this industry looks almost nothing like it did when we all started in the 1980’s. One of the things I love about Dvorak’s voice through the...
I'm back blogging. Too much to say, too much to do... Bill says that Susan scares all the spam away. Spam killed my previous blog, and I can't see blogging if you all can't talk back. Hopefully it will be a fun ride
