St. Louis Day of .NET Presentations

Comments | Share

Had a great time again this year at St. Louis Day of .NET. Thanks to everyone who attended my sessions. Based on feedback it seems like I'll need to do a presentation on SQL Server Compact next year. Doesn't seem to be a lot of awareness on this great product. But a lot can change in one year. As promised, the PowerPoint slides and code samples can ......

We built the site on BlogEngine.NET 2.0 It uses a custom designed theme ......

More Free Apps Bound for the Marketplace

Comments | Share

Microsoft has announced they are raising the limit of free applications a developer can submit from 5 to 100. But what does that really mean? First, lets look at the reason for the limitation. The iTunes Store and the Android Market both have a lot more applications available than the Windows Phone Marketplace. But that says nothing about the quality ......

I Caused the PS3 Network Outage

Comments | Share

So yesterday I got the bad news that yet another XBOX 360 had failed us. This time is was the video port that went bad. This makes like 5 or 6 failed XBOXs, I’ve lost count. Those things are turds. There is no way I was having another one fixed because they’ll just send me a different turd edition that has been fixed that will probably break down again ......

Why do people who can't write a simple program even entertain the idea they can get jobs as working programmers?

Comments (2) | Share

This question was posed by Jeff Atwood. Easy answer. Because they can find jobs. I have interviewed loads of people who were missing even the most basic skills. And these were not all junior programs, this happened even at the senior level positions. They are easy to weed out in a technical interview, but not every company gives one. I think companies ......

Comments (19) | Share

This weekend I purchased a replacement laptop for my Gateway Tablet PC. I reviewed a lot of different options but focused mostly on HP, Dell, Gateway, Sony, Samsung and even Apple. First lets start with each of the lines of laptop I didn’t choose and why. HP scored well on CNET reviews with the Pavilion dv3510nr, so I took a trip to Best Buy to check ......

ASP.NET Web Developer Checklist

Comments (4) | Share

The following is a simple checklist you can use when building web applications. Much of this still applies to other technologies and can easily be extended. I try not to get too specific on technology or methodology, but it is definitely leaning toward ASP.NET. If you can think of something I am missing or disagree, please leave a comment. Detailed ......

XBOX 360 Failure #4

Comments | Share

Good grief. Yet another XBOX has failed, this time it’s the new one from last year. The DVD drive stopped spinning up right after the NXE update. Microsoft is footing the bill again and thankfully we have 2 so nobody will have to stop using their Lancers. I made it in just under the 1 year maintenance agreement. But this is by far the least reliable ......
