Develocity: ASP.NET Chart Controls Without Web Forms
http://develocity.blogspot.com/2010/04/aspnet-chart-controls-without-web-forms.html
Monday, April 26, 2010. ASPNET Chart Controls Without Web Forms. I started tinkering with the ASP.NET chart controls. Last week for a project at work, and the samples available from Microsoft are excellent, except they're mostly all using web forms. So I took it upon myself to do a few things:. Upgraded the existing samples from .NET 3.5 to .NET 4.0. Added a sample project 'ChartsWithoutWebForms' to show one way to utilize the ASP.NET charts without using web forms at all. May 17, 2010 at 11:36 PM. Nice ...

Friday, September 14, 2007. Conversation about Patterns, Developers, and whatnot. How's the job going this week? Better actually, we're digging into this arcade game. And I'm starting to understand things more. But its all-consuming in my head, i can't seem to think about anything else. I really want to help dave though, cause I want him to finish it. Maybe on the weekends I'll have time. I hate words that have extraneous letters. What's that second L doing in there? Just hangin out man. I feel your pain.

Wednesday, July 25, 2007. You cant even define classes, can you? For some reason, unlike other modern languages, the ability to define custom types. Seems to be a Javascript language feature that is often passed over. Only advanced Javascripters seem to ever get around to learning about this underused feature. Defining a new type in Javascript is easy; you just have to get used to the syntax and understand that in Javascript, everything is an object; Functions are Objects, too. Fname = fname;. But this t...

Develocity: Programming Books Usually Suck
http://develocity.blogspot.com/2008/04/programming-books-usually-suck.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Programming Books Usually Suck. Jeff Atwood over at Coding Horror. Is always going on about how programmers don't read programming books. Because most of them suck, and I agree with that. I personally have only read about three really good ones. In Jeff's post, he mentioned (as an example of poor writing) a book called. I followed through to the linked review. Can be a bit tricky because it rounds down for positive numbers and rounds up for negative numbers. He's right; that is.

Develocity: November 2007
http://develocity.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 15, 2007. Sorting a Generic List of Custom Objects Simply. For a defect I was working on today, I just wanted to sort a list of users by username in a very simple fashion. Google failed me. I wasn't able to find a good example of how to do this. In VBNET. As usual, most examples are full of noise, like this. So, once I figured out how to do it, I thought I should share it. First, we create a function to handle our comparison. Next, we use it. Now our user list is sorted by username.

Saturday, July 17, 2010. How to Find and Land a .NET Development Job. My developer job resource kit is now available. It's called "Shove It, FizzBuzz: How to find and land a .NET development job.". What's included in this kit? The kit also includes software that simulates an actual interview and can help boost your confidence during the real thing. You could also just use the software to keep yourself on top of the latest technologies. Maybe you could do a follow up on this topic. Price per head service.

Develocity: Repeating and aligning elements using jQuery and CSS
http://develocity.blogspot.com/2010/05/repeating-and-aligning-elements-using.html
Friday, May 14, 2010. Repeating and aligning elements using jQuery and CSS. Today I had a need to create a dynamic list of checkboxes, and I wanted them all aligned properly, so the results would look something like this:. The layout was simple with CSS, then I added some jQuery to simulate getting the checkbox items dynamically. Http:/ ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js. Li input type='checkbox' /. That example produces a list that adjusts appropriately when resized:. URL=http:/ im...

Wednesday, April 25, 2007. Probably sounds like a strange term if you've never heard of it before. So what is it? Well, you've all probably heard of a "memory leak" before. Garbage Collection, or GC, is essentially an attempt to prevent memory leaks. Today, platforms like Java, .Net, Javascript, Perl, Ruby, and PHP have GC built-in. In platforms with GC, objects that are no longer referenced (because the reference has gone out of scope or because the variable was set to null) become. The second graph sho...

Monday, September 29, 2008. Balsamiq makes mocking up fun! Robert sent me a link last week to a new mockup tool called Balsamiq. 160; At first, I didn't really see the point, but after using it for only a few minutes, I was totally sold. Have you ever tried to use Visio to mockup UI? 160; It's a cumbersome process, and no matter what I do, the end result just always looks like a bunch of circles and squares and nothing like what I actually envisioned. Why is it useful? We have to implement a way for colo...
