  • Brain Training

    I have been reading a book on Object-Oriented Analysis & Design from O 'Reilly[1]. Now, O 'Reilly publishes books that, in my opinion, are most of the time good reads and contain a lot of in-depth information. This book appears to be different. Actually...

  • Using, Dispose, Close and Connections

    Please note that my explanation in this post is incorrect. I am sorry if I caused any trouble. In .NET 2.0 disposing the SqlConnection DOES return the connection into the connectionpool. In my experience .NET 1.1 acted differently; I will try to investigate...

  • XNA beta 2

    Yesterday I attended a meeting that set me thinking: how could I, as a trainer and consultant, use more of the things that my students, my customers and I love about gaming? In one of the courses I teach, we do a simulation of a software development project...

  • A bit old, but every bit sparkles

    In this interview with Steve Ballmer I see the passion I want my audience to see when I am busy presenting. Of course the technical bits are nice but I really like the way he wants to be remembered; having three sons myself, I couldn't agree more (by...

  • Windows Communication Foundation: Getting started

    Tomorrow I will be presenting a seminar on WCF at Microsoft's. After many seminars on .NET technologies, ranging from Smart Clients, ADO, VSTO, WPF it will be nice to get into some very technical stuff again. I really like the way Microsoft has abstracted...

  • Passed!

    I just learned that I passed the 071-528: TS: Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 - Web-based Client Development exam! It is a beta exam but counts as the real thing towards certification. Still… I'm awaiting the results of three more exams I've taken and I...

  • Speak for yourself

    Looking at this presentation (which blows you away): OSCON 2005 Keynote - Identity 2.0 makes me wonder (again): how does one achieve an optimal viewer experience? Making your audience feel that the speaker is cool and knows it all could be a goal but...

  • PowerPoint Power

    At the moment I am creating course material and this includes the creative process of designing PowerPoint Slides. This site has given me some valuable markers. For PowerPoint presentations I strongly believe that less is more.

  • New pins

    The New Generation of Microsoft Certifications have been announced by Microsoft. I'll be taking one of the beta exams in November. I am really curious what these exams will look like. One of the things I really like is that they allow developers to get...

  • Being senior and making a career out of it.

    Joel explains how his company is going to hire and train managers . A quote that I really like: " Now, there's nothing wrong with promoting a programmer to management, but management is a different job and a requires different skills from programming...

  • Information Bridge Framework and VSTO

    Last week I taught a class about the Information Bridge Framework and about VSTO . Now IBF isn't that well-known so to share my sources of information I hereby publish my set of links that allowed me to get started with these two. I know that there is...

  • Why I want to attend the PDC 05

    Five years ago I attended the famous PDC 2000 in Orlando. This was the PDC that presented .NET for the very first time to a crowd of 6000 attendants. It took me a month to really grasp the meaning of what had been shown to us. Not that the presentations...
