CLR/Tools An excellent post from Scott Hanselman on Managing Change with .NET Assembly Diff Tools . As I said , during the MVP Summit I spent time with Patrick Smachia and Scott Hanselman looking at the absolutely amazing new beta of NDepend . Microsoft/Ajax/Web 2.0 is Bull**** Ayende already took Paul Graham to task for all the flaws in Microsoft is Dead. I just really despise this notion of Ajax is the savior of mankind and that this Web 2.0 stuff is anything more than bull****. As Ayende says, " The premise that Ajax is the new OS is flawed on many levels. I am writing this on a computer with fast CPU and quite a bit of memory, and I would really like those CPU cycles to do stuff that I want, not interpreted javascript in a browser window to give me something that is similar to what I want. There is a limited class of applications where Ajax applications makes sense. Gmail has the luck to hit every point on the list. Other applications are simply not viable on the web. I can't imagine an IDE on the web offering even close to the bare-bones functionality of Visual Studio, for instance, or the ease and power of Outlook. " Agile/Extreme Programming/Continuous Design Jeremy and I were going to co-author a paper on Continuous Design and Architecture for DevTeach before I pulled out of the conference. He begins the discussion with an excellent post here . I may turn in my (former) presentation into an article on this blog I love a post that is entitled " Just Some Thoughts This Morning " that turns into pretty profound thoughts on Continuous Design from Jeremy. Best part, and what I would emphasize is, "Just really good code. If I could have anything, and only one thing, it would be well written, well factored, clean, intention revealing code . Everything else is just trying to sprinkle on some heavy spices to disguise the fact that your code smells like rotten meat."

I am SO busy with INETA trips and tons to do at work. Here is what I have stored up for the last week or so. WCF/SOA/Workflow/WF Tomas blogs about something I face every day in WCF with WCF ServiceHost Failures and IDisposable with "The "don't call Close()/Dispose() if faulted" behavior that ServiceHost requires does not work well with IDisposable; it demands a behavior different from the standard IDisposable pattern." We're having a lot of issues with dealing with failures and what to do with them but Tomas definetly states a fundamental problem. Tomas has also WCF, WF and BizTalk Sample Posted with some interesting stuff!! MTOM Interoperability between Oracle Application Server and Windows Communication Foundation Part1: From WCF to Oracle Jesus Rodriguez as well, " I am happy to see this progress: " The Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I) announced the publication of three new Working Group Drafts : the Basic Profile 1.2, Basic Security Profile 1.1 and the Reliable Secure Profile 1.0 Usage Scenarios. Advancement of these documents to Working Group Draft status is an invitation to the Web services community to provide technical feedback." I could just list every single post that Mike Taulty writes on WF; they are all that good! In particular, WF and Versioning , MetaStorm and the Workflow Designer , Little Workflow Foundation Sample I could and have done the same with "Nicholas Allen's" posts on Indigo: ListenUriBindingElement , Creating Faults Part 1, and Part 2 CLR How to avoid assembly loads , and Getting the list of loaded assemblies from Richard Lander James Higgs talks about Garbage Collection and the IDisposable interface WPF/Avalon Karsten has an awesome Avalon demo - "The Woodgrove Finance Application is a great demo of how WPF can be used to create better data visualization, in this case for financial data. I've posted the source code -- there are some good nuggets in here worth exploring." Introducing the XML Assembly Generator Data V1 of Data Read More...

Not too much going on today. Blogsphere Good news is it seems like Jason is coming back with his Interesting Finds Architecture One item I picked up from Jason is that J .D. Meier has noted that PAG added 238 new items of guidance to the Guidance Explorer . This is a great tool for .NET developers and they should be using it IMHO Roger Wolter has written an excellent architectural paper on Service Broker . While I disagree with the statement, " While I like to think that all applications are potential Service Broker applications, the reality is that only most of them are ", there is a lot of great material and guidance to think about CLR/Orcas Specs for Orcas are being made public and you can participate [via Mike ] A whole blog dedicated to the CLR language F# which is quite interesting [ via Mike ] Misc Scott tells How to Disable Windows Desktop explorer Integration after installing Office 2007 Everyone at work is Borat crazed. Julie lists a bunch of the reasons I'll never see it [tags: Windows Vista, Architecture, Software Architecture, .NET, F#, Orcas, Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft] Share this post: Email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it!

Sipping the first cup of coffee, ah yes, there's a possibility I'll be awake soon... Windows Vista The big news is a major new release of Vista, Build 5472 is available now on Connect and I believe its good enough to make a public release on MSDN Extreme Programming/Agile I'm thrilled to see my good friend and Agile Guru Jim Shore's announcement about his first fully-accredited XP course !! Jim is a consultant on my team and he can make your organization go wicked fast and produce great software too. Notice, "XP course", not Agile. Interview with Andy Hunt (of Pragmatic Programmers) on thier new book, Practices of an Agile Developer TDD Worst Practice: Test Driven Debugging ; I hate when people do this and say they are doing TDD. I've said it once, I'll say it again; if you are spending time in the debugger for logic and business verification, you are wasting your companies money and time. Write a test. The debugger is only for very weird, intractable exceptional situations where there is no other recourse. If you see every testing situation this way, well you need to learn about TDD-) ...more coming CLR Greg Young continues his exceptional blogging at a level that excites me with Performance: String Reverse . I better get back to my CLR Internals blogging before Greg blows me off the scene-)) Indigo/WCF/SOA Fellow Codebetter blogger Steve Herbert continues with Asynchronous Web Service Calls - The Truth Behind the Begin...End...Functions Part 2 Tools/Community Microsoft has aquired SysInternals . I'm both thrilled and scared. Obviously they are buying the talents of Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell, both of which know Windows Internals better than, well, most of the Windows team-). I'm scared for what will happen to the best free tools on the planet and frankly tools that must be installed with every new or repaved system. I'd advise you to go download them now while you still can. As both Scott and I have said, Mike Gunderloy is the supreme master of these kind Read More...

On May 19, 2003 , I said " I have always admired Mike's ability to look at the world out there and put it all into one great post, The Daily Grind . While I can't pretend to have Mike's writing ability, I would like to start moving to something similar instead of multiple separate posts ." I still believe that today but I have not been so great about "daily" or I would have been over 500, but here I am over 3 years later with number 100! While I am still in Mike emulation mode, I would like to do something like he did for the "Tell a Friend" and contest. I don't want to blatantly copy his contest (maybe I do!) but I want to double the readership of this blogs. If you get anything out of these posts and the blog, I'd love if you told someone else to subscribe. In the meantime , I'd love to hear from you on this blog on what you think might increase readership as well as your experience. So we have today: My co-worker and pair programmer today Steve questions Microsoft’s strategy on releasing two OR/M solutions. Andres (and Frans on the comments) also question this. I agree that this is just going to confuse the developer totally when they need to use the technology. Ayende agrees that this is madness. I’d rather see a single OR/M solution based on LINQ that is extensible . Again, Andres , “ I went to TechEd Keynote today and I almost got asleep. Then Chloe appeared and it was the only excuse I had to not to leave before it finished” Have you checked out http://www.seewindowsvista.com/ ? It is a very cool way to see some amazing things that developers are doing with Vista and .NET Framework 3.0. [via Brad ] The Indigo group has released the " Windows Communication Foun dation RSS Toolkit " on the new community site . This toolkit, which comes with complete source code, illustrates how to expose ATOM and RSS feeds through WCF endpoints SCBAT has been upgraded to a new, soon to be released version of GAT and GAX Craig announces msdnman Microsoft is preparing a third IE 7 Read More...

You've got to be kidding me . "The .NET Framework has always been at the core of WinFX, but the WinFX brand didn’t convey this. The WinFX brand helped us introduce the incredible innovations in terms of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow (WF) and the newly christened Windows CardSpace (WCS) formerly known under the codename “InfoCard.” The brand also created an unnatural discontinuity between previous versions of our framework and the current version. With this in mind we have decided to rename WinFX to the .NET Framework 3.0. .NET Framework 3.0 aptly identifies the technology for exactly what it is – the next version of our developer framework. " Seriously, it never made sense to be named apart. Technorati Tags: CLR , .NET , WinFX , Microsoft Share this post: Email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! Read More...
