After Frank's recent presentation on tablet PC development, Miguel threatened to run out and buy one. Today's conversation with the Toshiba rep left me several thousand dollars lighter in the old bank account...my sweet, sweet baby should be here in 2 weeks.... Started with the Portege M200 and ...processor --> 2.0ghzHDD -- . 60gig @ 7200rpmRAM -- 2 gigs (to be purchased elsewhere for a net $100 savings)++bluetooth I'm accepting bets that Miguel will not be able to hold out much longer after he...

This post from Martin Fowler was sort of an epiphany for me. It's easy to use externally rooted metaphors to illustrate an idea, but be careful that you're not using them to justify one. Next time your boss gives you the “software construction is like manufacturing” point of view, here's your answer... http://martinfowler.com/bli...

My response to Scott Bellware is posted...

SOA may suffer the same problems as component development, but it seems to make a nice case for outsourcing....

The PAG has released the 2005 enterprise library. A quick look at the documentation for the data acess block appears that they have gotten over the sql-server-is-the-only-data... mentality...the gotdotnet data access block did this pretty well, Anybody used both? Comments? (yes, I know the Enterprise Library is only public for a few days!)...

David L asks how to convert legacy VB6 code to C#. There's a lot more to this than one might think. There are significant differences that may make it necessary to rearchitect anything but the simplest application (non deterministic finalization comes to mind.). I would recommend looking at Preparing Your Visual Basic 6.0 Applications for the Upgrade to Visual Basic .NET for starters. If you still think it's a good idea to “convert”, you can start with the VB.NET upgrade wizard in visual...
