The LOB Chronicles Episode 5: Beginning Development
It is hard to believe that we’re finally here, but it is episode #5 in the LOB Chronicles and we’re now getting to start development of our new demo application in Visual Studio. For those tuning in late or in need of a refresher, we’ve already covered how our team explores and exposes user needs via UX work, how that translates into navigation paths and application architecture from a UI standpoint, and how the choice of OpenAccess ORM is going to enable us to use both reverse mapping as well as forward mapping over the life of the project,... -

Cloud Computing Dodged a Legal Bullet
If you and I were at a local Starbucks drinking coffee and plotted a criminal act (say robbing a bank), would Starbucks be liable? Is Starbucks a co-conspirator since they provided a platform for us to plan our illegal act? In short, no. If you and I email back and fourth about that same criminal activity, is GMail/your ISP liable? In short, no. If we do rob the bank and FexEx someone the contraband, is FedEx liable? In short, no. If I illegally download MP3 music and upload it to Amazon Cloud Storage, Microsoft Skydrive, Dropbox, or some other similar service, are they liable? A judge last week... -

AJAX Series Part 3: Advanced Techniques – Performance, Theming, Cloud Deployment
The third, and final, episode of the ASP.NET AJAX webinar series took place yesterday. Much like with the first to webinars I wanted to make sure that I followed the webinar with a blog post containing all of the questions asked during the presentation, as well as a link to all of the recorded webinars. You can find a list of the questions asked below, and as always if your exact question is not found here then it’s due to a duplicate (or very similar) question. Q&A Can the RadAjaxManager support partial post back that appends new controls to the page? ... -

The TeamPulse TFS Process Template – Why Does It Matter?
Hey, I’m Joel Poiron and I’ve been a developer on the TeamPulse project from the beginning. I am one of the guys behind our Team Foundation Server synchronization engine and also played a sizeable role in developing the TFS Work Item Manager. We’ve received a few questions regarding TFS process templates and how they affect synchronizing with TeamPulse so with this post I will try to clarify their importance and how to deal with issues that can arise. If you still haven't used the TFS Synchronization feature, I encourage you to: Check out this short how to video ... -

Making the world a better place. One task at a time.
Yesterday I read an excellent blog post by Chris Dixon: http://cdixon.org/2011/08/28/do-you-want-to-sell-sugar-water-or-do-you-want-to-change-the-world/ It reminded me of something I am seeing too often when I talk to people, especially younger guys who want to be entrepreneurs. I get the feeling that they put a value only on big ideas, big discoveries, big success stories. Everyone wants to change the world and if they can’t, it is seen as a massive failure. People want to be like Steve Jobs – wake up, imagine something, make it a smashing success and change the lives of billions of people. I might be wrong, but I don’t think... -

Testing AJAX Dynamically Loaded Elements
I’ve posted up two short videos covering a typical AJAX testing scenario: the elements you need to interact with haven’t yet been created – they’re waiting on some other action on the page before they populate from a call back to the server. AJAX: Working With Dynamically Loaded Elements is the first of the two and shows how to write a simple test to deal with this situation. AJAX: Data Driving Dynamically Loaded Elements is the second. This video expands on the first and shows you how to alter the first test to use data pulled in from an Excel ...August 30, 2011 1 min read -

St. Louis Day of .NET Another Major Success
[Cross posted from http://www.skimedic.com/blog] The 4th annual St. Louis Day(s) of .NET built on the previous years successes and once again delivered an amazing show. Held at the beautiful Ameristar Casino and Resort in St. Charles, Missouri. This year, the conference maxed out the capacity of the conference center (over 800 people attended the show!) Hats off to Jeff Fattic, Scott Spradlin, and Kevin Grossnicklaus and the scores (yes I mean scores) of other volunteers that made this event possible. I also have to give props to their spouses, children, friends, and co-workers, since the time commitment to run such a large event is...
