Fairly Realistic

This open letter was taken verbatim from Software by Rob. I feel like it should be shared and get as much attention as possible!

Dear Software Managers of the World:
We, the Software Developers of the World, realize that our two factions have had many disagreements over the years. Through this letter we would like to extend […]

November 14th is World Usability Day! I know, I’m a day late. However, I promise that I made usable things yesterday. And the days before. And I promise for days that haven’t even passed yet, I will continue to make usable things. Wow, that is starting to sound more and more like a pledge of […]

Google has yet another rendition of their search engine called Google Code Search. The twist here is that it’s intended for programmers looking for bits of code publicly available on the Internet. Of course, if you’re looking for the latest algorithm for generating serial numbers for certain zipping software, then it’s good for that too. […]

NDoc is a great, open source and free application for generating .NET documentation. Version 1.3.1 for .NET 1.1 has been very good to me in the past… but what about NDoc for .NET 2.0? It’s mysteriously missing and doesn’t seem to exist. Well, after a few Google searches I came across the Interactive Analytics Architecture […]

I created a list of links for a client at work for learning C# and .NET programming. Here’s the list that I came up with which also includes a few books. I think that the key to learning a new language is relating it to a language you already know. It’s the whole theory of, […]

Jon Galloway has setup a great batch script for running IE7 in stand-alone mode. If you want to start testing IE7 with XHTML, CSS and JavaScript but don’t want to lose IE6 then I highly recommend Jon’s script. The only caveat with IE7 in stand-alone mode is that you cannot have the IE Developers Toolbar […]

I’m working on some CSS layouts right now that depend on a lot of content. Rather than type up real content, I’m generating fake Latin text. What could be better than fake Latin? I submit that nothing is better.
Fake Latin Text Generator

Drip is a tool that helps developers find IE memory leaks in their code. It’s open source and available on SourceForge. Check it out or just ban IE from your website entirely using Explorer Destroyer. Kill Bill’s Browser is also a helpful resource for creating IE mayhem on your website. Better yet, switch to a […]

Everyone keeps asking me what the heck Web 2.0 means. I think I can answer it. Or at least that’s what I thought when I started writing. After about two minutes of thinking about it, I realized that I could not fully explain it, of course, since Web 2.0 is something and nothing all at […]

You got API?
Well, if you don’t then visit GotAPI.com. You can get all the API you could ever need (minus .NET) in one giant dosage. GotAPI.com has setup a pretty slick Web 2.0 (buzzword!) API navigation system. I used it to look at some PHP docs briefly and it worked quite well. It’s Google-esque in […]
