Richter and I spent the weekend writing ASP.NET 2.0 code and loving it. After we ported a bunch of pages to ASP.NET, we looked back and marveled at how little code we had written. Jeffrey mostly worked on designing database tables and migrating code from Read More...
I'm in Redmond (actually, Bellevue) WA this week presenting at an internal Microsoft event named Airlift. A few hundred Microsoft people from field offices all over the world have come together to get the inside scoop on what's coming in Whidbey and other Read More...
