Apple to provide SDK & allow 3rd party apps on iPhone

Wow, it's been awhile, and I apologize for the delay in posts. I took some time off to get married and head off to Greece... amazing times. Now that I'm back, I thought I'd take a moment to pass on some interesting news: Apple is releasing a first SDK in February that will allow developers to create...

Rockin' the MVC pattern at Microsoft

Over the last few months, I've been seeing a lot more about web application frameworks using the MVC pattern , as well as rumors about Microsoft working on some sort of framework to support MVC in ASP.NET.

WhatWG, W3C and HTML 5.0

It's an interesting exercise every once in a while to take a look at the technologies we use in everyday development, and how they evolve over time. I started out writing HTML 4.0 & ASP 3.0 apps in high school, then watched as .NET 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 became entwined in our vocabulary. Sitting here...

Tree Size and WinDirStat

I had a comment on my post Where Has All My Hard Drive Space Gone? from cgoren that recommended an alternative to WinDirStat called Tree Size (I'm only looking at the free version of Tree Size.

Where Has All My Hard Drive Space Gone?

Every once in a while I realize that I'm running low on hard drive space on one of my machines. When that happens (like it recently did when I copied files from my backup to a fresh install of Vista on my laptop and it took for freaking ever) I turn to a little utility I found a while back called WinDirStat...

Virtual PC 2004 vs VMWare Workstation 5.5

In the past I’ve mentioned that I’m a virtual machine junkie and that I consider VMware Workstation 5.5 to be a better product than Virtual PC 2004 . I thought I should explain that position a little bit and decided to compare the two programs. I sat down and made out a list of attributes that the 2...

Basic CMS ported to ASP.NET 2.0 (C#)

download C# 2.0 port here I've used the basic-cms content management system a few times for creating simple cms solutions for friends and relatives' web sites, often it's great to help them out with designing a site and getting initial content up, but you probably don't want to spend a ton of time updating...
