Ramblings about C#, .NET and Programming
Ok, this must be book with the longest title I”ve read until today. Here its complete name: Joel on Software and on Diverse and Occasionally Related Matters That Will Prove of Interest to Software Developers, Designers, and Managers, Whether By Good Fortune or Ill Lick, Work with Them in Some Capacity. Phew…That is really a […]
And for those of you that (like me!) didn”t attend, it”s now time to start watching the videos and start playing with the bits.

But I can’t find what I want (which, btw, are the videos. Yesterday it was really easy to see Ray Ozzie’s keynote: you just had to click the watch keynote button on the silverlight banner that exists on the top of the page. Now it’s gone and I can’t seem to find any link pointing […]
I’m not there, but it seems like Ray Ozzie presented something called Azure Services Platform today during its keynote (I’m still seeing it now since I wasn’t at home when it happened). Looks interesting, but I’ll have to dig the documentation a little bit more before having an opinion about it…
If you’re a NHibernate user, you’ve surelly heard about the Fluent NHibernate, a project that allows you to define the mappings by using a fluent API. I didn’t really had the time for testing it until yesterday. Why did I only tested it yesterday? Simple: because I had to perform some major refactorings on the […]
Just a few weeks ago I was really happy because I was able to start using Tortoise for getting projjects hosted at Codeplex. In these last few days, I just can’t access the damn site through SVN. This is not good, specially if like me, you’re a codeplex user and you don’t want to mess […]
I think that adding verifiability to the language would be great. MS Research has been working on Spec# for some time now, but it seems like it’s always behind the current C# release (for instance, the current version works against C# 2.0, but who wants to go back after using C# 3.0? Not me…). Yes, […]
Last week I’ve finally received my black 8GB Zune. To be honest, I’m a little disappointed with it.In fact, I’m really disappointed with it. First, there’s the look and feel. After holding an IPod nano, you won’t really like the Zune (and yes, the nano is not as good as the real thing). Yes, the […]
I”ve just finished reading this interesting book by Michael Lopp. I think that we can all agree that interacting with people is a lot harder than interacting with machines. Michael”s book will give you several insights into this difficult art. No, this book isn”t only for managers. If you”re a developer working for some manager, […]
One of the things I’ve been using lately is FxCop. It’s really an interesting tool and I’ve corrected several API problems on my classes after starting using it. In fact, I’ve only found two problems until now: Interface explicit implementation Incorrect spelling of names Ok, let’s start by problem number 1. Here’s the code I’m […]
Check Scott Gu’s post for all the details. I think it’s time to go back and pick where I left in the MVC series…
Whenever I see a politician speaking, I always remember this cool whiskas”s add. You know, they speak speak bla bla bla and you know that they mean “we”ll rip you more money this year!”. Well, like Marcus Gronholm, I think it”s time to say I”m fed up (but with these guys that are in charge […]
I’ve just seen this on Scott Hanselman’s blog. I’ll make an effort to look at it, though I’m still not convinced about it…
Scott Berkun is really an entertaining writer. Today I’ve just finished reading his last book: The myths of innovation. Scott tries to point out several myths generally associated with innovations and explains really well why they’re myths. With lots of good examples that support his vision, Scott has written a really small addictive book that […]

It seems like some guy decided to rob a car got caught because he had tattoed his name and date birth on his neck.

Here’s another interesting book I’ve finished reading. Yes, that is correct: another one (and that’s why you’re getting 2 reviews on the same day:),,) When you start using the bus, that means that you have some time for catching up with your reading (and that is what I intend to do in the next months). […]
After some delaying, I’ve finally managed to read the Naked Trader: How anyone can still make money trading shares. No, I’m not going to invest all my finances in trading. Why? Well, because I’d only be able to buy 5 or 6 shares :,,) Thanks for asking! Ok, so I needed to get some concepts […]
