Imagine you've shipped v1 of your database applications against a schema created from "M". Now, you're about to ship the v2 of your database, but what about the v1 clients? Are the tables and views ...
Stephen Forte and Mehfuz (who, like Prince and Cher, needs no last name), have built LINQ to "M", which means that if you've got "M" source code like this (shown in a C# string variable for loadin...
In part 1 and part 2 of his series, Dana Kaufman, a Program Manager on the "Oslo" team, used "M" to model the schema for employee information and to create a domain-specific language (DSL) for cre...

Stuart asked me to post this (although I took out the marketing goo). Ari is a fun speaker and is not to be missed.
The Indigo User Group Road Show rolls into Portland tonight, Wednesday, September 28...
As MS releases new frameworks, folks always ask "Does MS use this" Of course, MS has tons of existing apps that would be silly to rewrite, but when we build new stuff, we generally use the latest fr...

These kinds of services are exa...
Not too far behind Indigo and Avalon's beta 1, WinFS posts their own beta 1 (although Tom Rizzo, Director in SQL marketing says it may be a tad early). Since their "endgame" is "that WinFS will be ...
Between the new job, the new house and the book, I haven't had nearly enough contact with my local nerd friends. I'm starting to experience nerd withdrawal symptoms! Come to the PND next Tuesday and a...
According to the post on Channel9:
"At this year’s PDC, we’ll be hosting our first-ever Show Off event. What the heck is Show Off, you ask Well, Show Off is an evening event held at the ...
.NET 2.0 has the idea of a "nullable" type built right in, e.g.
Nullable<int> x = null; // legal
This adds nullability to value types as well as reference types. Further, C# adds direct suppo...
Ian and I submitted the final manuscript for Programming Avalon, Beta Edition, on July 13th (right on time, I'll point out). Since then, the O'Reilly folks have been working overtime to fix my prose (...

"Code Camps are (1) by and for the devel...

I have no idea where the "Studs from Microsoft" video came from or how old it is and I had to download it first before playing it, but it was totally worth it to see Bill Nye as a 'softie ...
Congrats to the VC++ 2005 team for a write-up like this!
"The truth is that this new development in C++ seriously undermines the justification for C# as a language. C++ programmers yet to learn C# s...
Skype is the thing that seems to work best for my Australian phone calls (at least once/week if not more) and I love SkypeOut for when I'm just too damn lazy to walk across the room for the phone. If ...
