It looks like many of you have already noticed that there's an official Visual Studio autocomplete file for jQuery posted up at the jQuery site. It's significant that it's hosted by the jQuery team in that it's a contribution by the Visual Studio team but it's not up at CodePlex, because it really belongs to jQuery so there's where you'll find ...

First, let me remind you that in my new ongoing quest to read source code to be a better developer, Dear Reader, I present to you thirty-fifth in a infinite number of posts of "The Weekly Source Code." At the end of my crazy babies talk at PDC (Tips on how I prepared here) I had a big demo where I gave a URL to a Silverlight version of ...

Recently while talking to Jeff Atwood and his development team about StackOverflow he mentioned that he compresses the Cache or Session data in ASP.NET which enables him to store about 5-10x more data. They do it with some helper methods but I thought it'd be interesting to try it myself. There's a lot of options and thoughts and ...

Here's the results, as promised, of the .NET Survey I took last week. Also, here's the disclaimer. I did this on a whim, it's not scientific, so the margin of error is +/-101%.

My one-hundred-and-thirty-fourth podcast is up. Well, actually a few weeks ago, but I totally forgot to update my website with the details. You'd think somewhere around 100 shows I'd had automated this somehow. Hm. If I only I know a programmer and the data was available in some kind of universal structure syndication format…;) Scott chats ...

Getting reading for my talk at PDC 2008. 75 minutes just isn't enough time to cover everything. I hope the talk doesn't suck. Here's what my home office looks like as I'm getting my demos ready. I was reminiscing by looking through the nine pages of my blog's PDC category just now. It was interesting to look at what I said about PDC 2003 in ...

ASP.NET MVC is now officially in Beta. Go get it! ScottGu has all the juicy details in his usually Epic style. In a nutshell, this is called Beta (and not Preview 1138) because the quality and the amount of testing gone into it was higher than the Previews and source drops you may have gotten off of CodePlex. It's API surface is pretty stable now. ...

Hey folks, as I've said before, one of the things I like to do is take your comments, questions and feedback directly to the right folks inside Microsoft. They have all sorts of scientific methods, analysts, and smarties that give them information, usage details, etc. Sometimes, however, I like to throw the product planners the occasional ...
