Hi everybody, I am writing this post to let you know that I am still alive and there are big changes coming in blog, soon. With soon I mean, probably, a couple of weeks. The new version of Subtext, my blog engine, may be out soon and it will include many futures. The best one will be a search index engine, it should be Lucene.NET. In the meantime I am going to update my blog to the current available version, 2.1.2. The second news is that my personal blog skin it’s pretty close to be ready. I worked...
It has been a month now since my last post. Unfortunately I have been very busy in the office and more than that I also lost my old PC. Now, I bought a nice MacBookPro 13†with an SD disk and I can’t complain at all about performances and robustness of my new laptop. As many of you already know, I am a Windows Developer, or better, I use .NET as my primary development tool. As you can understand this requirement doesn’t fit at all with my new Laptop, a Steve Jobs’ “PCâ€. Also I want to...
I got a lot of e-mails from my readers (I am very happy for that) where they claim the fact that It’s pretty hard to follow my tutorials because the actual version of SubText (my blog engine) doesn’t allow any search. Unfortunately until the new version of SubText will be released, and I know it will include a search engine, there is no way to help you. For this reason I am writing this post, that I will keep up to date constantly, with a list of available tutorials regarding the UI patterns. Please forgive me if...
I had a request from one of my blog’s reader (Bastien) that I can’t skip. Last week he asked me to write a short article on how to implement the Model View Presenter with Windows form. So let’s skip for a while my series of articles about Prism and let’s see what is the MVP and how it should be implemented. The Model View Presenter pattern. The definition of the model view presenter pattern can be found in many web site, let’s use the classic definition provided by MSDN. (This is an interesting article that explains the MVP)....
Today it seems to be, for me, the day of the books review. The reason is because I am at home, for the Christmas holiday, and my wife is working. This means “I have time to read my tech books and write some posts on my blogâ€. What is scrum? The scrum is an agile methodology used in software development. This is the description provided on Wikipedia: “Scrum is an iterative incremental framework for managing complex work (such as new product development) commonly used with agile software development. Although the word is not...
Good morning everybody, first of all I want to apologize for my absence in December. I am really sorry but I was ‘trying’ to deliver a component in my office and I was so busy and tired that I didn’t have time for the blog. Let’s start this ‘holiday’ posts with an interesting review of a software architecture book written by two friends of mine: Andrea Salatarello and Dino Esposito. The title is: Microsoft .NET: Architecting Applications for the Enterprise (PRO-Developer) (Paperback) available at Amazon.com for 29.69 USD. Chapters and sections. The book...
A dear friend of mine, Simone Chiaretta, ASP.NET MVP wrote an interesting book about ASP.NET MVC in collaboration with Keyvan Nayyeri. The book is Beginning ASP.NET MVC 1.0, edited by Wrox, available on Amazon.com at this address for the price of 31.49 USD. I am going to write a review of this book because, first of all, I know Simone and his professionalism. Second, because I am working now on an ASP.NET MVC project in my company, and this book was really helpful for me, so I am pretty sure that it will be the...
I just got these considerations about virtualizing SQL Server on VMWare from my Boss and I would like to share them with you. General comments on problems encountered and why people not virtualizing SQL Storage ( most people just do not have enough spindles to start with and then when people consolidate they use less spindles not more, error in design and understanding of basic i/o principles ) Queue lengths are a problem so add as many paths to storage as possible. Using vmware makes sequential reads...
I am starting to work on a really interesting project where BizTalk and WCF will be the keys. I have used in the past WCF and I am not worried about it, I like it and it’s better than the old Web Services. Unfortunately I know BizTalk but I still do not master it. Over the network I didn’t find anything really useful but Microsoft has tons of tutorials and how to. Overview of BizTalk 2009 http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/en/us/roadmap.aspx Getting Started http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa560946%28BTS.10%29.aspx Step-by-step with some databases (Oracle, Siebel …)...
Today I have received an email from Microsoft Connect. Office 2010 suite is available for download. Of course is not a RC or RTM but just a beta preview of the final product.
