I couldn't resist. I've been trying to showcase the ASP.NET Starter Kits for a while now, especially since their "1.0" release. However, I don't think I've ever managed to express it as well as Darren did: http://weblogs.asp.net/dneimke/posts/9253...

Step 1: http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=213 Build Your Own .NET Language and Compiler takes the mystery out of compiler and language development and makes it accessible to every programmer. Ruthlessly practical, this book teaches fundamental...

Had a brief discussion with Bob Lair today of Intensity Software. They're the folk that work with Fujitsu on NetCobol. They have a version of IBuySpy Store written in COBOL. Worth looking at if you think VB is verbose. Another neat beast they've written...

Use the Quickstart Source Code Viewer when making your application source available. Why bother rewriting the wheel?...

I'm sure many of you have heard about the meeting , and perhaps two of you care. Indeed, I've even seen some people worry that we may fall off the web. Well, let me assure you... Oh, wait, I have to add the Legal Disclaimer to this blog entry first (per...

Well, the ASP.NET Developer Center is one day old. I've already received two requests for RSS feeds, so someone must have read my blog entry. The RSS feeds are on the way, they should be in place early next week. I'll post here when they are available...

My other major activity at TechEd was bug-hunting to make certain the Visual J# Developer Center could launch on time. So, now there are nine developer centers. People have asked about the missing one . All I can say is watch the URL: http://msdn.microsoft...

Overall, I feel good-ish about TechEd. There were a lot of people there. D said it was a record attendance. Could this mean the recession/depression/slowdown is over? Dev Connections also seemed to have a larger attendance this year, compared to last...

I'm sitting in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport, waiting for 4:30am (for the whole sordid tale, see my other blog ). Time to start reminiscing about TechEd 2003. As is often the case at these things -- I didn't see many talks. They often hit me as overly...

I haven't scanned too deeply into old posts, so I'm assuming no one has noticed/cares, so I'll post. For the three or four of you that care, the Visual J# Developer Center has launched! Here's your one stop center for all the VJ# information you need...
