02 September 09 04:23 PM
If you haven’t been following it over the last couple of months, we’ve been running a series of articles about brownfield development – authored by James Kovacs , Kyle Baley , and Donald Belcham .  The big idea here is that rather than have yet another Read More...

2010 Column Planning
07 August 09 04:55 PM
It’s that time of year once again where I go through my column lineup to see how individual columns are performing and then use that data, along with various other inputs (like what topics I think are emerging and want to get ahead of, etc.) to determine Read More...

Out On Paternity Leave..again
17 June 09 09:31 PM
You may remember the last time this happened .  Well, it’s here once again .  I’ll be away from the office, off of email – and more importantly, not processing your article submissions from 6/22 – 7/20.  Feel free to go ahead and submit Read More...

Announcing a New Series: From Web Dev to RIA Dev
18 March 09 11:24 PM
I’m sitting here in my hotel room at MIX 2009, where a ton of really huge announcements were made today.  In a much more scaled down attempt at continuing that tradition, I want to announce that starting in May, we are launching a 9 week series focused Read More...

I’m Moving…
04 March 09 09:47 AM

Oh yea, and did I mention we had a baby?
13 February 09 11:14 PM
In my last entry, I mentioned that I was back in the office because of the recent events in the economy.  Even with that, I realize that I’ve been pretty sluggish with respect to blogging – probably uncomfortably sluggish for those of you waiting Read More...

Back on the Grid...
27 January 09 03:48 PM
Well, as it turns out based on recent economic events, it doesn't make as much sense for me to go off on parental leave in February.  Therefore, I will be back to reviewing articles shortly.  Perhaps I'll even find the time to do some technical Read More...

Off the Grid in February
17 January 09 10:51 PM
I know it's been a while since I've blogged. It's not because I don't have a lot of stuff to say - I just haven't really had time to sit down and write it all out (I seem to remember Glenn actually having this same problem - perhaps I'll have to try his Read More...

SharePoint Goodness
25 June 08 01:57 PM
SharePoint is one of those technologies for me that is large enough in scope and ambition that I am simultaneously in awe of it and confused by it.  To elaborate on the confusing aspect, SharePoint feels like it has multiple masters - more specifically, Read More...
