Source Code (RSS)
Do you like a big pile of source code? Well, there is an imperial buttload of source in the Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Training Kit . It's actually a 178 meg download, which is insane. Perhaps start your download now and get it in the morning

My team has to write a lot. We write some blog posts, sure, but we also write a lot of tutorials for various sites. Right now the http://www.asp.net site runs on Umbraco , but MSDN runs on custom internal what-not, and there's other sites as well. The

I hate iTunes on Windows with the heat of a thousand suns. It is a pox on my existence and it has cost me hours of pain and suffering. I'm sure it's all unicorns and spun sugar on MAC, but as a guy using Windows with dozens of gigabytes of music on a

When I was in a China a few weeks back, I had a nice chat with a fellow named Zhe Wang who was using ASP.NET Dynamic Data to create a website. He made his own Custom Attribute to apply to his entities and effectively made an authorization scheme so that

After learning BASIC and ASM, for a job I started coding in C, when Hello World on Windows was 92 lines of code. (Apparently Hello World is easier now, says Pete Brown ) One of my first big projects was an app called Foolproof that kept kids in high school

I wrote some code tonight in about ten minutes with a "Get'er Done" attitude. We all do that (I hope). It's one-time code that will solve a one-time problem. As such, it isn't always pretty, but it often is interesting. I've got this silly website

Remember good developers don't just write source code, they also READ it. You don't just become a great poet by writing lots of poems. Read and absorb as well. Do check out the Source Code category of my blog here , there's (as of today) 15 pages of posts

The original NerdDinner Sample was very simple. Two samples, simple, in fact. Perhaps it's the new Northwind, as it's a good way to start working with ASP.NET MVC. However, it's not a perfect sample or an idealized example on how to do many things that

I emailed Jeff Atwood last night a one line email. "You should make a StackOverflow API using OData." Then I realized that, as Linus says, Talk is Cheap, Show me the Code. So I created an initial prototype of a StackOverflow API using OData

You ever download some code or a Visual Studio project from the web then start getting warned that the download might be evil? When you open a project file that was downloaded from the Internet Zone, you'll get a dialog like this from Visual Studio: If

You can learn a lot by reading other people's source code. That's the idea behind this series, " The Weekly Source Code ." You can certainly become a better programmer by writing code but I think good writers become better by reading as much

I got a nice little Yellow Screen of Death (YSOD) error on some code running under IIS that worked fine when running on the VS Developer Web Server. The error was "A generic error occurred in GDI+" and you know that if an error is generic, it's
