Very cool news. It’s only available free for download until November 6th, 2006. I think it’s a good deal. It’s also nice that what you develop using the express products can be released commercially. Good for the weekend developer. From the FAQ: 4. Can I use Express Editions for commercial use? Yes, there are no [...]

Just saw this post by Scott Guthrie about a Web Deployment Project for VS 2005. Cool. This could come in handy. So bookmarking here.

It’s now November. Yup, the 11th month of the year. The second last month of the year. And yesterday being the first Tuesday of November, meant us Melburnians got a day off to enjoy the “races”. Well, most of us just pay attention to the main race if nothing at all. I decided to make [...]

Came across an interesting project on CodeProject by Mike Ellison called SqlWhereBuilder a few days ago. It basically allows users of your app to dynamically build their own SQL Queries without needing to fiddle with the actual SQL. You could potentially build some sort of simple reporting page using it. It uses JavaScript to keep [...]

Wilco Bauwer has posted an Atlas Class Browser which will show the public properties/events/methods of each Atlas type. It includes the Web, Web.Net, Web.Data, Web.Services, Web.UI, Web.UI.Data namespaces. If you prefer, however to explore the actual Atlas JavaScript files, but prefer a more “spaced out” version, check out Ralph Sommerer’s post. He’s got some funky [...]

Woke up at 6am on Saturday, had some food and out of the house by almost 7am. A nice, bright, sunny day. First thought of the day, maybe I should head to the beach? But no, Saturday was the day for the Victoria .NET (VS2005/Sql Server 2005) Hands on Day. The event actually started at [...]

See you at the VDNUG VS2005/SQL2005 Hands on Day if you’re going. Otherwise, check out the Web Cast. I think the event sold out pretty quickly. I guess 80 isn’t much when you’re talking about something like VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005.

A little while ago, I blogged about a CSS cheat sheet made available at the ILoveJackDaniels.com website. I just noticed that the blogs’ author (Dave Child) has a few more up. From: http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/cheat-sheets/ – JavaScript Cheet Sheet – CSS – RGB Hex Colour Chart Looks handy. Though I always keep a local saved copy of [...]

On Wednesday night I did a demo of Atlas. I was going to do a little demo on the Virtual Earth Atlas Server Control. In hindsight, doing a demo that depended on “external resources” was probably not the best idea. But it was working fine just moments before the presentation, and I hadn’t noticed the [...]

A few months ago, at one of the MXPEG (Melbourne eXtreme Programming Enthusiasts Group) there was a presentation by Darrell DeBoer (from ThoughtWorks) on something that a few ThoughtWorkers have been working on called Selenium. I still haven’t used it yet, but I thought people might be interested in it. I found it quite interesting [...]
