About

vb:feeds is personal project by Serge Baranovsky. The purpose of this web site is to aggregate Visual Basic/.NET related posts on the Net while keeping unrelated posts filtered out.

This site aggregates Visual Basic/.NET related web feeds from blogs, forums and other Visual Basic sites.

Most technical weblogs have personal and social aspect to them. All posts collected on vb:feeds go through a review process before appearing on the site and its web feeds so only qualified posts are published here.

Looking for C# feeds? I shared this site code with Steven Smith and he is running C# Feeds web site along with Gregg Stark.

Technical background

This web site runs on Win2003/IIS6 - the same physical server we run other our sites - SubMain, vbCity.com, DevCity.NET, vbCity Blogs and few more. vb:feeds is our first web site developed using the latest Microsoft tools - VS 2005 and SQL 2005 - which are still in Beta.

Backend: SQL 2005 Standard Beta (June CTP). I developed an automated process which polls web feeds every hour (SQL + SQLCLR). The feeds are parsed then with the help of SQLXML and stored in SQL2005 database.

Web site: The web site scripts run on ASP.NET (Beta) and developed using VS 2005 Beta (August CTP) and VB 2005.
