If you are thinking about using Windows Work-Flow…you should know…

That MS decided to totally blow it up in .NET 4.0. (weblogs.asp.net link, S/O link).  Yes, that’s right, they are totally re-writing WF 4.0  from the ground-up.  As the first link states, this could be for any number of reasons including lack of adoption and the perception that WF is just too complex – which I happen to agree with.  3.0/3.5 workflows will still work, but only on the 3.0 runtime. 

On the one hand, I have to give some credit to MS for basically saying “Hey guys, we effed up and we’re gonna scrap this…”, and yet, on the other I have to assume it’s a little embarrassing to have to do something like this.

BTW, Is this old news?  How did I totally miss the memo on this?

Surprising jQuery Performance Tip

Was doing some research this morning, as usual, and came across a post from Giulio Bai on jQuery performance tips.  A lot of his tips are things I’ve heard elsewhere (no offense!), but one that I haven’t seen anywhere and for some reason surprised me is that using a the JavaScript provided for() loop is considerably faster than using jQuery’s each() function.  In fact, it can be several orders of magnitude faster depending on what you’re doing.  Interesting.
