The iPad is an amazing device, but to envision it in 1972 is amazing... http://www.mprove.de/diplom/gui/Kay72a.pdf February 1, 2010

Rich Clients

I found the recent article “What's Ailing ASP.NET WEB Forms” by Rick Strahl to be very interesting.  I still agree that the ASP.NET server side has a strong advantage over alternate technologies, but the client needs to be richer.  Web Forms are too simple and people are not ready to fully except Silverlight (and the control set is not there yet).  Integrating a client side framework like ExtJS or jQuery seems like the best approach... for now.  November 30, 2007

The Pragmatic Programmer

I believe every level of developer will benefit from reading “The Pragmatic Programmer” by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas.  This book looks at the complete software life cycle and gives insightful tips at each stage.  By the end you will take pride in every line of code you write.  It is also full of useful design techniques such as tracer bullets.  A must read for every developer.  May 19, 200
