ASP.NET MVC Licensing
via p u b l i c v o i d . d k by Søren Spelling Lund on May 13, 2008
During my ANUG talk about the ASP.NET MVC Framework a question came up regarding what the landscape of ASP.NET land would look like with ASP.NET MVC being open source. Would we start to see lots of different branches floating around out there? The answer to this is a resounding no as the license model of ASP.NET MVC only allows for you to download the code off of CodePlex, make changes, but...

Care Factor
via notgartner by Mitch Denny on May 13, 2008
Well Paul started it. The idea is that you product a graphic which outlines the stuff that you are interested in. The core stuff is what you are most interested in, and which you interest is possibly growing. The middle is what is still interesting but your interest has stabilised, and the outer is the stuff that you are getting less and less interested in. Paul has slightly different definitions...

Open Standards
via Sam Ruby by (author unknown) on May 13, 2008
... projects enable people or companies to collaborate in a structured wayI think Paul may be onto something. It is rapidly becoming the case that this more than this is becoming the exemplar for open standards. While it is popular to malign the JCP, it is worth noting that many (most?) JSRs have TCKs which actively promote the idea of multiple, independent, interoperable implementations.

Brand Tags – the consumer pulse?
via ||steve clayton: geek in disguise by stevecla01 on May 12, 2008
As Seth says, inane but fascinating. Brand Tags is a simple game where you pick one-word associations to go with major brands. The resulting pages show the crowd view of what a brand means. Check out results for Microsoft - I didn’t quite expect Windows to be as large. You kind of forget what you’re known for sometimes on the inside. Apple - surprised me too…someone was clearly having...

Visual Studio 2008 SP1 "Background Compiling" for C#
via David Hayden [MVP C#] by dhayden on May 13, 2008
... functionality for those developers who are not using ReSharper or another tool that provides similar code analysis in the background. I had to jump on my development machine that is not running the Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Beta just to make sure this background compilation wasn't already being done in Visual Studio 2008.I didn't put the feature through a thorough testing, but I was just...

A political emergency
via BBC NEWS | Nick Robinson's Newslog by Nick (BBC News) on May 13, 2008
This was quite simply another Budget - an emergency Budget - just 10 weeks after the last one. The emergency was not financial but political. The revolt over the scrapping of the 10p tax band was so serious that ministers...

Being nice doesn't hurt
via BBC NEWS | Justin Webb's America by Justin Webb (BBC News) on May 13, 2008
So West Virginia rides to the rescue? I doubt it. quietlaurieann notes that the folks in Hitler's bunker were all men (what's wrong with being a man?) and adds a familiar but interesting suggestion that the journalists who seem to...

XML: The Angle Bracket Tax
via Coding Horror by (author unknown) on May 12, 2008
Shared by Benjamin Golub XML doesn't suck; JSON just sucks a lot less.Everywhere I look, programmers and programming tools seem to have standardized on XML. Configuration files, build scripts, local data storage, code comments, project files, you name it -- if it's stored in a text file and needs to be retrieved and parsed, it's probably XML. I realize that we have to use something...
