Here's just an accumulation of random thoughts I've had over the last couple weeks. 1. First and most importantly, I'm running into the problem where I'm trying to build a monitoring system that hooks into the System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter...

warning: this post is based on highly ignorant beliefs and huge generalizations. I know that there already is a Microsoft Consulting branch, but the one I'm speaking of is completely made up –since I know nothing about the existing one. A company...

In Part 1, Christopher pointed out that since we all spend a lot of time maintaining and fixing code, a good interview test is to have people fix up some smelly code. Since I couldn't possibly agree more, I wrote a smelly codebehind page as an example...

Introduction In the past, I've come down hard on ASP.NET for trying to be an all-in-one solution. Rather, I've come down hard on ASP.NET developers trying to make it into an all-in-one solution. ASP.NET is an unsurpassed language for enterprise...

I'm always a little amazed when I hear of an employer who doesn't give a written test when hiring someone. I know it might take more time and I've often heard how some people don't work well under interview-pressure – but that's...

Here's the short version: This is only for inserting 500 rows into a 3 column table InnoDB really seems screwed on Windows platforms running 5.x - Certainly don't have anything conclusive, but I'd watch out For my very simple test, MySQL on...

Another day, another coding horror. *sigh* not how I wanted to start off this week. At least the problem isn't technical, but rather an embarrassing misunderstanding of a business rule – and of course the system's in production. It could be the client...

Over the weekend, I dug up an ASP.NET article I wrote a while ago and never put up anywhere. It was actually meant as a practical example of using HttpHandlers - which I've talked about before. Basically, the idea is to store of JavaScript into a store...

Rational, which was bought by IBM awhile ago, sells a range of products aimed at large-scale enterprise development. Requirement management, bug tracking, source control, modeling, etc. There are two problems with Rational – it’s insanely expensive and...

In a previous post, I talked about HttpHandlers - an underused but incredibly useful feature of ASP.NET. Today I want to talk about HttpModules, which are probably more common than HttpHandlers, but could still stand to be advertised a bit more. HttpModules...

For the better part of three years I’ve been troubled by the seemingly exponential growth of crap on the internet – specifically with respect to programming topics (more specifically with respect to .NET). In the past I’ve blogged against poorly written...

My first blog post from Word 2007 – let’s see how this goes. Introduction There are many features in ASP.NET that are unfortunately underused. Sometimes a feature gets looked over because it’s too complicated. Other times, like in the case of HttpHandlers...

I hate taking over someone's bad code. The projects always go on forever and you are forced to follow bad practices to try and string together fixes and features without it all crumbling down. There are some quick, not always 100% accurate, ways to know...

Use SQL Server's 2005 XML capabilities to pass in arrays of values instead of relying on multiple DB calls, UDFs or dynamic SQL.

Ever since joining Fuel Industries , I've had a new found respect for Flash development. Flash isn't well suited for every types of development, for example I wouldn't want to see google.com fully implemented in flash! When it comes to adver-gaming, which...
