Second Edition, now with more brain-thumping goodness

Just got a copy of the second edition of Advanced .NET Remoting by Ingo (and now also Mario Szpuszta ). I had the good fortune of squeezing my brain through it a while back (and lived!). While the talk continues, you really need to read as much of this

Team System prezzies

In the spirit of the holidays (either late in the case of Hanukkah, Ramadan or Solstice — or early in the case of Christmas or Kwanzaa — and I have no clue what holiday Jedis celebrate around now) the Team System team have brought unto you a gift. A new

Internet Explorer Developer Center

And then there were 50... OK, maybe there aren't 50 Developer Centers (yet — it just feels that way some days), but there is now an Internet Explorer Dev Center. With new content, even! Learn what SP2 and future advances have in store for you. It's worth

NOAA Way -- the Web Service

Looking at my news items this morning, and what do I see? NOAA (the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency, aka, the Weather Guys) now has a Web Service available (sadly RPC/Encoded) to get the weather. Details here . WSDL here . Party on your desktop

Use Cache, Save Cash

Where's Rob been? Busy starting a company and building a Community Server . However, he still cares about all of you enough to keep writing his column - read his latest, " Use Cache, Save Cash " about SQL cache invalidation in ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0.

How bread (and ASP.NET 2.0) is made

Scott Guthrie has an amazing look into the 'end game' of how software gets released from Microsoft. It also has the cleanest explanation of "tell" and "ask" mode I've ever read (never had the guts to ask anyone).

Ports, reporting for duty...

While I love Fiddler for monitoring HTTP, and TCPTrace for SOAP traffic, I've never been able to grok Ethereal or NetMon for general TCP traffic (not to mention a lot of places hunt down these apps and threaten users with assorted medieval HR implements.

Holy Covenant, Master Chief indeed!

For those of us who don't feel up to writing something with the Express editions to win an XBox and Halo 2, Mike Schinkel has informed me that Xtras.net and ComponentOne have an even sweeter deal. Download any ComponentOne program from Xtras.net, and

What's the difference between an Express, Professional and Team?

All security, all the time

The latest ASP.NET Support Voice column is now online . In it, Jeremy lists all of the common ASP.NET security related knowledge base articles. Definitely worth keeping handy. TTFN - Kent

Fishing (and learning) with CHuM...

Scott reminds me that MSDN magazine is also now available in downloadable CHM files . Just the thing for that commute read. Just not while you're driving, please. TTFN - Kent

Preparing for the upcoming Whidbey trip

No, I'm no planning a vacation -- this is for those who are planning on upgrading to Whidbey (aka Visual Studio 2005, aka ASP.NET 2.0, etc.) Dino Esposito : Rearchitecting your Web applications for ASP.NET 2.0 TTFN - Kent

Playing with VS, without installing VS

Forgot to mention in all the Java Resource Center updates, we also added a neat simulator for Visual Studio to the Visual Studio Developer Center . It walks you through the (should be) classic Three apps in 10 minutes scenario. Great to demo to people

What is the future of VSS?

In this Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) world (well, soon), what will become of our old companion, Visual SourceSafe ? Here's the Roadmap . (For those who don't want to RTFA, VSS is *not* part of VSTS, and there will be a VSS 2005, launching with Visual
