There's a new ASP.NET Community starter kit : Issue Tracker (via Early Adopter).   This joins in nicely to something I've been wanting to blog about: there's a real lack of good free issue tracking software. I asked around and no one can tell me of a free good one, especially something with a rich client front end, that's suited for a...

XMLSpy has a free home edition! (via DevHawk) coolness

This blog will be a small attempt to write in hebrew. ???? ?????. ?????? ?????? ????? ???.

At one of the projects I had a chance to manage, I had to teach an entire teams (3 people) how to do pair programming. I didn't call it “Pair programming” though, as that would have brought on the FUDs, but I just made people work with each other, test-driven development style. People seemed to be fond with the idea and have...

Scott blogs about a weird problem he had with ASP.Net, and then asks “Could this be a good problem solver question for an interview?” Certainly, some people would take days to solve this problem. Personally I think I would have taken less than 10 minutes. You see, I find that a lot of times the brute force approach works:) A re-boot...

One of the tasks I'm facing at a project these days is coming up with a automatic build configuration for the project. the idea is having a “daily build” for an existing project which comprises of roughly 110 sub projects (imagine loading that solution in vs.net!). It is quite fun. Like solving a big puzzle. Here's a little about...

Recently a frined who was looking for a dev job approached me before an important interview. He said one thing that I just had to share. he said “They're going to test me on my knowledge, what if I don't know the answers?”   The first point is that nobody knows all the answers to all the questions, so get used to it. In fact, I...

John hopes that my comments about adopting XP at Microsoft will never be heard.   My answer to that would be hopefully never. In his post, Roy ponders how the XP process would work on projects as large and vast as what Microsoft produces. Is he really serious? Can something like Word be developed using XP?  I can't possibly see how...

Oh, i know there are some people looking exactly for something like this:   Vertigo Software's Managed Smart Documents WrapperT simplifies Microsoft® Office Smart Document Development with a new, object-oriented, declarative programming model, supported with new project templates, samples, and documentation.   yes, it's free...

oh. my. god. I downloaded and installed this just so that I could believe what I had seen, and yes. it was very real. I couldn't stop looking at it. It was like watching an accident. You just can't look awaym no matter how horrible it is. Now, here's the question: If you didn't know what the name of the program was, how long would it take you...

Holy moly, this guy is good. He's also the one behind mbUnit, which is a pretty interesting Unit testing framework.   With the kind help of Lutz Roeder, I have recompiled the IL Grapher into a Reflector Add-in...

Ever since Tech-Ed Israel I have a whole new respect for Clemens. Not only technological, but also presentation wise. I think he was one of th best, if not the best presenter there. And then I find out he's doing these presentations at Tech-Ed Europe: CTS308 Building Proseware, Inc. – a non-trivial service-oriented system (just me)...

I was just taking a look at the sneak peek video that Carl And Rory have released on to the the world from Tech-Ed. The first thing I noticed is that the video quality is very good. The second thing is that Rory is funny on video as well. The third thing is that the “full” video is probably going to be very interesting. Hey you guys...

I always thought I was a pretty regular guy, You know - get up, go to work, come home, watch TV dude. But lately I've been getting contacted by all sorts of very high ranking people. And by high ranking I mean really high ranking. Royalty ranking.  Why Just this morning I was contacted by Daniel Kabila the son of the late Democratic...
