I was lucky enough to meet Doug Turnure last week. He's a Developer Evangelist from Atlanta (USA), who was down under visiting the Aussie DEs. Doug has set up .Net University, and blogs here about the first set of courses offered. I've checked out the WF one so far – I recommend it.

I popped this on the home page of my site last week, but forgot to link to it here. From my site: The recently released Volta CTP is an example of how Microsoft is helping desktop client developers build web applications. Promoted as a 'tier splitting' technology, the compiler helps spread out the application to client and server tiers, tied together with Volta created 'glue'...

Especially impressive (to me) is how transparent the company is – they detail the memory management issues they are having due to the server cache of over 5 million files putting a...

Brace yourselves kiddies, because the rash of lame link-bait post titles like the one above has started. For those not on Facebook, this will be meaningless, but for those who are, then you’ll have noticed that the mandatory ‘is’ from the status updates was removed* earlier this week. Yay! No more having to use ‘is’ on all your updates. We can rest easy now. INSERT...

Joe Little's post about the Nokia scrum Test is interesting. His comments on keeping it simple are valid too. My only comment: Find me a company that manages to stop Project Managers disrupting the flow (his last bullet point in the second list), and you've found yourself a rare (and wonderful) environment.
