submitted by dengar007(3084) 2 years, 3 months ago

Are you a Control Freak?(frickinsweet.com)

submitted by dengar007(3084) 3 years, 2 months ago

In my opinion, this is a mixed blessing, however, for some, this is a show stopper. What can you do to provide a rich user interface with the MVC framework, while not reinventing the wheel? read more...

Visual Studio Theme Generator(frickinsweet.com)

submitted by dengar007(3084) 3 years, 9 months ago

A fun little ASP.NET MVC Application I wrote to generate Visual Studio themes based off of 3 given colors. I have always felt that selecting every color to make a decent theme is way too repetitive. This web application automatically chooses complements / contrasts based off your initial color selections (and uses jQuery to let you preview your theme before creating). Check it out and let me know what you think. read more...

Don't be clever 2 - The cost of cleverness(codethinked.com)

submitted by dengar007(3084) 3 years, 11 months ago

In the modern world of programming we need to be more cognizant of making our code readable and grokkable than to make it clever or sneaky. For 99% of the developers out there, no one is ever going to pat you on the back for being sneaky. You're probably more likely to get punched in the face for it when the team has to spend the weekend debugging a piece of your clever code. read more...
