Kazi Manzur Rashid — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 18:09:37 GMT

My latest article Asp.net Ajax Error Logging has been just published in DotNetSlackers.com. In this article, I have demonstrate how to extend Asp.net Ajax Framework to create an effective error logging system which support multiple trace listeners like Enterprise Library. A must read if you are developing or planning to develop an Asp.net Ajax Web Application. You will also find my name in the Ajax Columns in DotNetSlackers.com as I have planned to write at least one, preferably two articles each month. If you have any comment on my new article or you have any specific topic which you think I should cover, please do send me your feedback.

I am the winner for the Month of June

Kazi Manzur Rashid — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 19:51:54 GMT

This morning dotnetslackers announced me as the winner of the XBox article content for the month of June. Special thanks to everyone who vote my Asp.net Ajax Control Development article. Some of my friends asked me why did I choose to write in dotnetslackers over codeproject when codeproject got 8x more traffic. The reason behind choosing dotnetslackers, I think it got much more Asp.net Ajax specialist as a member comparing to codeproject and once it won the Asp.net Atlas Mashup contest of Asp.net and these make me feel that there is no better and friendlier place other than this for my Asp.net Ajax Articles. But I have few suggestions for dotnetslackers to make it more attractive for the developer community:

Publish Article Instantly, same as codeproject Unedited Reader Contribution.
A Better Navigation System, Add Editors Pick, Best of this week/month etc.
Hierarchical Comments section for each article which allows user to post html as well as code. Dump the complete comment in Mail. Send mail when there is a new topic/reply.
Stop Paid Articles (I am not sure how many good article they found comparing to unpaid) instead find sponsors for article competition, may be for different categories too.
The Home page is too bulky (385KB as per Firebug). 2x heavy comparing to codeproject and my startpage pageflakes
A Better Search System (Currently it only scans through news, no article get indexed).
Allow Article Authors to add meta tag (SEO Optimization)

I hope they will take my suggestion seriously and start implementing the above features one by one.
