Lovely blog post about Agile Methodologies

by rocky@lhotka.net (Rockford Lhotka) via Rockford Lhotka on 9/28/2006 8:41:01 PM

A colleague of mine (customer of Magenic ) forwarded me a link to Steve Yegge's wonderful blog post about Agile methodologies (good and bad). I think my favorite bit in the whole thing (and there are a lot of good bits!) is this: Bad Agile seems for some reason to be embraced by early risers. I think there's some mystical relationship between the personality traits of "wakes up before dawn", "likes static typing but not type inference", "is organized to ... [ read more ] 6 comment(s)

Anonymous Delegates (Methods) and Visual Basic (VB)

by H. Steele Price, IV via Steele Price - VB on 9/28/2006 4:08:00 PM

What is an Anonymous Delegate? I have recently been converting these and talking about them quite alot. This is a technique not currently implemented in VB, but is used in C# (and other languages) to write some inline code in which I do not want to create classes and handlers to perform some simple operation. Typically this is used in Generics when iterating over a collection, or to execute some specific functionality when an event occurs. These are similar to "Closures" in other lan ...

learning VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 from scratch This is the last of these Blogs about me learning VB and SQL Server 2005. I no longer qualify as a beginner, but the quest for knowledge goes on - building on what I have learnt over the last 7 months - "The end of the beginning" I am now going to focus on desktop/'smart client' application writing.

vbfeeds.com was down on Sunday but it is back up and running fine

by Serge Baranovsky via SergeB (Serge Baranovsky) on 9/28/2006 1:52:00 AM

vbfeeds.com subscribers may have noticed the site was down for about 24 hours. Hopefully it wasn't much of inconvenience. VB Feeds was running on SQL 2005 Beta 2 which expired in this month. I knew that's coming but as usual many things that required immediate attention pushed moving VB Feeds to another box with SQL 2005 RTM down the list. It is done now - I moved the site on Monday night and it is running fine. I apologize for the downtime.

Check out the NYTimes reader...

by BradA via Brad Abrams on 9/28/2006 12:45:00 AM

The folks over at the NYTimes have released the beta of the NYTimes reader … a .NET Framework 3.0 based application that provides an amazingly rich experience for reading the newspaper… I have been on the internal pre-beta program for a while and I have found it great! A few weeks ago I actually read the newspaper end-to-end… I don’t think I have done that in 10+ years. The other thing I love about the app is that it has a seamless update s ...
