  • The Importance of Styles in Programming Books

    Probably you know that Bill Bridges is the Development Editor of my upcoming Professional Visual Studio Extensibility book. He has done invaluable work on the book and has helped me during the writing process a lot. Thank you, Bill! In his recent blog post, he has pointed out to something that was the topic of our internal conversations during the writing process and that is about styles in programming books . He has spent a lot of time on redoing some formatting in my book to keep the consistency...

  • Confidential Stuff

    In the recent years of my life I experienced something new that I never had any feeling about it and that is dealing with classified stuff especially confidential stuff. I can divide this experience into two sides: confidential stuff in my business life and confidential stuff in my military life. There aren't many things to say about confidential stuff at military service because according to rules, it's explicitly demonstrated that we shouldn't have access to this stuff and they just...

  • CSTiers is born

    A new CodeSmith Project enters the world and its called CSTiers, named after the excellent .netTiers project. While .netTiers creates a complete website, CSTiers will create a DBVT Community Server Visual Studio customization project framework. Almost every Community Server customization project I do involves five areas: DBVTConfiguration, DBVTContext, DBVTUrls, a Data Provider and original Chameleon Controls. The objective of CSTiers is to create the structure for each of these areas when I start...

  • Goodbye Aachen, Hello Hamburg

    After more than 8 years I´ll leave my current employer Cycos by the end of this year. Starting 1/1/08 I'll work as a Senior Software Developer at Proximity ( international website .) Cycos is my first employer, I started here right after university in 1999. Originally I didn't plan to stay that long here but 5 years at maximum. However, because the work was so diversified and the working atmosphere so prolific, I stayed some years longer. E.g. I was delegated to Munich and San Jose (CA) for...

  • Renaming My New Book

    It's been quite a while since I updated the status of my new book on this blog. In this while we've been working hard on the book to deliver the best content to the community and due to the fact that we're working on a not released product, we had to apply some changes as well. One of these changes is renaming the book and having a new title to reflect the content better. The original idea of the book was working on a book about Visual Studio add-ins and extensions based on C# so we chose...

  • Live Image Search Loves Unrelated Stuff

    To me it looks like that Live image search just gathers naked men and women for its indexes. Since the last year when Microsoft made major enhancements into the Live services and Live search, I tried to use Live search more and move and it really could answer to my needs. Day after day, they could work better and I use their search services in parallel with Google and didn't go back. Recently I gave their image search service a try and used it to find some images for a few blog posts. The first...

  • Google Page Rank Gets Better

    In the recent days, many site owners and bloggers have noticed a reduction in their Google Page Rank and many guys have written about this including Robert Scoble (actually I only linked to his post because I liked his ideas about this). As is pointed out by others, this reduction is a result of major changes in Google algorithm to calculate the Page Rank and many famous sites and blogs have been affected by this change. Checking some .NET sites and blogs, I noticed that Scott Guthrie has 6 Page...

  • Simplify Your URLs

    In my opinion the Nth rule of simplicity would be the simplicity of the internet URLs. One of things that I always attend to on any new web application is this and for me it's very important to have a site with simple and readable URLs. If we go back and forth and recall the history of the web, can believe that we've been moving forward in simplicity of the URLs in the time. Coming from the days of long URLs with many folders included and long queries to days with shorter URLs that try to...

  • Community Server Byte for October 23, 2007

    blog bits CSDC 2007 is now history. Ben confirms there will be CSDC presentation videos coming. Kevin Harder provided live on-the-scene blogging, and Josh Stengel provided the best independent coverage of the event. Interesting sidebar: According to Kevin's Day Three account, "Everyone eats the Mexican lunch and listens to the Applied Innovations demo," since Applied Innovations "was kind enough to sponsor today's lunch." Yeah, I guess. Sales pitches during lunch are rarely...

  • Windows Workflow Persistence and Tracking Services for Oracle and MySQL

    Found something today via Paul Andrew's blog that I had to find sooner than this when was looking for it for a buddy: Workflow Foundation Tools . Wokflow Foundation Tools is a set of functional persistence and tracking service implementations for SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL. If you go back to last year this time and read my posts about SqlWorkflowPersistenceService , SqlTrackingService and TrackingProfile then remember that Windows Workflow supports SQL Server default implementation for persistence...

  • Introducing Stylin

    I've been collecting links to sites with style or have certain aesthetic qualities that set them apart. Since I do a lot of theming it's also good to have a ready reference to sites that I like. Bookmarking the sites isn't efficient enough because I have to click on text links to display the screenshots I'm looking for, and that could be a lot of clicks. So to provide a better reference to stylin websites I created my new Stylin blog at http://dbvt.com/stylin . A screenshot of the...
