Microsoft has recently released Silverlight 1.0, a .NET-based competitor to Adobe’s Flash animation product.
This is an interesting strategic move as Microsoft is moving into what is clearly established territory for the Flash brand.  Microsoft is extending the reach of the new Windows Presentation Foundations (WPF) to the web with a version being called WPF/E […]

PowerTray

I’m working on a new side-project which I think will be fairly useful for all you Windows users out there.  It’s called PowerTray.  The idea behind it is to have an application which will allow you to do many of your often-repeated tasks quickly and easily and at the touch of a hotkey.
That in […]

Enterprise Dillema - J2EE vs. .NET

Open Source - Nintendo Style

Well it certainly didn’t take long to start some new and interesting open-source projects geared around Nintendo’s new darling system. The Wii has inspired the folks over at WiiLi.org to create a version of Linux to run on this next-generation console.

50 years of programming history

For the geek in all of us…
I stumbled on a couple of articles recently pointing out the history of programming languages.  What originally pointed me at this was an article in Nikhil Kothari’s blog.  He pointed to a chart on O’Reilly’s website which listed out the history of programming languages from the 1950’s right […]

Microsoft quietly launches .NET 3.0

With much less fanfare than the previous version Microsoft released the latest version of the .NET framework earlier this month at the TechEd Europe developers conference in Barcelona.
