why i decided to stick with linq-to-sql over linq-to-entities(naspinski.net)

submitted by naspinski(610) 3 years, 4 months ago

Recently I tried, I really tried to like L2E, but I just can't do it! It adds layer upon layers of extra crap I have to do over L2S while offering little to no improvements over the soon to be deprecated ORM. I am officially sticking with L2S until they get L2E better developed. Now I am hardly the first person to write about this, but I feel my concrete examples are somewhat helpful when trying to decide. read more...

There is More Content than Just the Front Page on DotNetKicks(beckelman.net)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 4 months ago

Are you tired of going to DotNetKicks and finding the same stories on the front page for days in a row? Trust me, there is some great content out there that never makes the front page. You just have to look a little deeper. When you do, you can help put some of that great new content in front of the masses. Even if you don’t submit stories yourself, you can still help out by giving the initial votes that push a story to the front page. read more...

F# to ship as part of Visual Studio 2010(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by RPenton(40) 3 years, 5 months ago

Last year, the head of the Microsoft’s Developer Division, S. Somasegar, announced that Microsoft had begun investing in F# as one of Microsoft’s supported languages on the .NET platform. I am now thrilled to announce one result of this investment: F# will ship as part of Visual Studio 2010! Since the September 2008 CTP of F#, the F# team has been working hard on integrating F# into the main development branch of Visual Studio 2010. Below I show a screen shot of using the F# development tools in the 2010 shell, with the new editor and the new look-back-in-time "Debug History" window. read more...

Why I'm Unimpressed With Rawness Of Skillz(jondavis.net)

submitted by stimpy77(1271) 3 years, 9 months ago

Since forever, geeks who take themselves seriously have loved to brag such things as, "I use Notepad to edit web pages". Carrying this over to actual programming, "I never click into the designer when editing my ASPX", or "I never design a database using designer tools, I always design it all using raw T-SQL," or "I always update my SVN from the command line". (Someone in a local tech user group bears the post signature, "Real men use Notepad.") Puhleeze. I'm not impressed, and frankly I think anyone who brags like this should get a swift kick in the pants. read more...
