Wow, that took a long time to be published, but here it is. This video was recorded during the October's meeting of Chicago ALT.NET that happened almost just about a whole month ago. The video shows Josh Heyse demonstrating and explaining the works of the AOP framework called Core. What the video...

I started playing with NHaml lately for sheer curiosity. It comes with MVCContrib and that's what I've been using to explore it. I'm not completely on board yet that you'll want to write all your views, for all kinds of application scenarios using NHaml. I know someone will probably jump...

Don't you hate when tools try to promote themselves in your work, especially if you paid for them? Last night I was noavigatin around in Reflector when I stoped by the embedded resource named System.Data.Odbc.OdbcMetaData.xml (in System.Data.dll 2.0).

After the IoC talk we had the monthly discussion. This time we tried the fishbowl format (or some approximation of that). The topic was ORMs.

This video was captured at the Chicago ALT.NET August 13th meeting . This first video is the Cruise presentation.

I was used to the tedium of manually compiling, testing, backing up projects, writing documentation, and so on. There was no awareness...

I'm about to configure a new development machine this week. It's going to be my 3rd install from scratch in the last 12 months, which I know is not all that much, but certainly more than I wish I had to. Besides the common software development tools, like Visual Studio, SQL Server, Ruby, Office...
