submitted by rplant(750) 2 years, 1 month ago

Code Isn't Beautiful(codinghorror.com)

submitted by rplant(750) 4 years, 3 months ago

I was thrilled to see the book Beautiful Code: Leading Programmers Explain How They Think show up in my Amazon recommendations. It seems like exactly the type of book I would enjoy. So of course I bought a copy. Unfortunately, Beautiful Code wasn't nearly as enjoyable of a read as I had hoped it would be. It is by no means a bad book, but there's something about it that's not quite right. read more...

SQL is the assembly language of the modern world(lostechies.com)

submitted by chadmyers(840) 4 years, 3 months ago

I really would like to challenge the conventional wisdom that stored procedures are the best and/or that hand-crafted SQL is the only way to achieve good performance. I once heard someone say that "SQL is the assembly language of the business application world" and I totally agree with this (I linked to Jett Attwood's post above, but I heard it somewhere else first and my Google-fu is failing me tonight). read more...

Object Initializers(blog.jrpsoftware.com)

submitted by rplant(750) 4 years, 3 months ago

A new feature of Visual Studio 2008 and it's C# 3.0 is Object Initalizers. This compiler feature can be used to set the values of properties without the need to create a special constructors. Even though you must have 2008 to use this feature, you don't have to target the 3.0 or 3.5 framework as it works just fine with the 2.0 framework. read more...

Outerglow / Outline Text with GDI+ in C#(blog.jrpsoftware.com)

submitted by rplant(750) 4 years, 3 months ago

My previous job required a bit of multimedia programming and involved the use of a lot of different graphics techniques. One day we ran across a bit of code to give drawn text either an outerglow or an outline around it. It turns outs to be much simpler to do than I previously thought and only goes to show that you can always learn a new tricks. read more...

dnrTV Aggregator Part 1 - Windows Services(blog.jrpsoftware.com)

submitted by rplant(750) 4 years, 3 months ago

It is time for another personal project for me and this time I thought I would put together a dnrTV feed aggregator. Rather than watch each episode on my home computer, I prefer to watch them on the big screen TV in the living room. They are very viewable and I can sit in my lazy boy with the remote, a beer and maybe the laptop. ( mostly the remote and a beer ) read more...

ASP.NET Custom Errors: Preventing 302 Redirects To Custom Error Pages(colincochrane.com)

submitted by ColinCochrane(235) 4 years, 4 months ago

Defining custom error pages is a convenient way to show users a friendly page when they encounter an HTTP error such as a 404 Not Found, or a 500 Server Error. Unfortunately ASP.NET handles custom error pages by responding with a 302 Temporary redirect to the error page that was defined. In this post I explain how to create a custom HttpModule that allows you to use custom error pages while preserving the original HTTP status code and avoiding the 302 redirect to the error page. read more...
