• Pragmatic Beer

  Don and I have been having “Dev Dinners” every couple of months over the last couple of years. We usually draw small crowd of bright .NET people and talk shop. However, this time we want to shake things up a bit and get more realistic. So we are going... Posted Oct 01 2008, 02:16 PM by Simpable Filed under: Code

  Assuming you were not living under a rock on Monday, you likely saw the announcement that Microsoft will be shipping jQuery in the next version of Visual Studio.

• NVelocity Server Control

  I have been chatting with some folks about the possibility of introducing NVelocity into ASPX pages without the need to use MVC or have the entire page generated by it. Using the SimpleTemplate component I pushed previously, I wrote a light weight server... Posted Sep 02 2008, 05:49 AM by Simpable Filed under: Code

• Hugs

  I saw this video on CodeSqueeze earlier today. Way too good not to share on a Friday. The video was produced by DevShop , which is a software project tracking application. DevShop looks interesting. Anyone have any experience with it? Posted to Code and... Posted Aug 29 2008, 07:53 AM by Simpable Filed under: Code

• Disqus and Graffiti

  I set up Disqus on my blog about two weeks ago. So far I have been very happy with the service and pleasantly surprised with some features I did not know exists. Disqus, pronounced "discuss", is a service and tool for web comments and discussions... Posted Aug 28 2008, 09:02 AM by Simpable Filed under: Code

• Senior Developer Position(s)

  I just wrote about a SharePoint opening on the Telligent product team and you might be saying yourself, “Self, I am a great developer, I am just not interested in SharePoint, I wonder if Telligent has anything for me?”. Generally, it is not a good idea... Posted Aug 21 2008, 09:18 AM by Simpable Filed under: Code

• SharePoint Developer II

  We ( Telligent ) previously announced our intentions to enable Community Server and SharePoint to play very nicely on the intranet (definitely friends with major benefits). We will soon be releasing V1 of this work (part of Community Server Evolution... Posted Aug 21 2008, 08:56 AM by Simpable Filed under: Code

• LINQ in Action

  I read (and thoroughly enjoyed) LINQ in Action a couple of months ago and find myself constantly referring back to it. Most people seem to immediately assume that LINQ is just LINQ to SQL, which means they either immediately love it or hate it. This is... Posted Aug 18 2008, 10:53 AM by Simpable Filed under: Code

• Distributed Caching - Strategies and Tips

  As I have mentioned recently , we ( Telligent ) are starting to implement distributed caching in Community Server and will likely build it in early in some of the other product work we are doing. While we are not yet done with this work, there are some... Posted Jul 22 2008, 12:17 AM by Simpable Filed under: Code

• SimpleTemplate

  By now it should be obvious that I am big fan of the open source component NVelocity . Most of the examples of its usage are UI related such as view engines for MonoRail and ASP.Net MVC . We ( Telligent ) also use it to power the theme engine for Graffiti... Posted Jun 05 2008, 08:14 AM by Simpable Filed under: Code

• Setting Up Velocity (Distributed Cache)

  As I previously wrote, Velocity is Microsoft’s entry into Distributed Caching . It is currently in its first public CPT, so there are certainly going to be some rough spots. The documentation is pretty good, but setting it up and using it the first time... Posted Jun 04 2008, 09:59 AM by Simpable Filed under: Code

• Velocity - Microsoft Distributed Cache

  A couple of days ago, I was chatting with David, I have not blogged since 2004, Penton about the lack of a built in distributed caching solution for .NET. There are a couple of really good third party tools available (more posts coming soon) but since... Posted Jun 04 2008, 08:48 AM by Simpable Filed under: Code

• ActiveLinq

  I have been evaluating Linq to SQL and Castle ActiveRecord for a small project I am working on. In end I decided to go with ActiveRecord. As part of my experiment, I did a quick prototype of an ActiveRecord like pattern using Linq to SQL. I have zero... Posted May 29 2008, 10:20 AM by Simpable Filed under: Code

• Paging Data In ActiveRecord

  I am still digging Castle's ActiveRecord implementation. While the code is "tight" and there is substantial documentation, there are still a couple of things that took me longer to figure out than I had hoped. This is not a knock against...
