ServiceStack and I

The last year brought me good things, many of them have been based on a “simple” thing….ServiceStack. I think it was back in the autumn of 2011 I sorta got caught in a discussion on twitter with a few people including Demis Bellot (the father of ServiceStack). I defended WCF and said it didn’t really ...

I pity the fool that doesn’t do code52

I wish I had done something different over the last couple of months, but as some know I switched jobs and I’ve had allot of other things change for me. Don’t read it as an excuse more like I’ve shifted priorities a bit. Back in January I had this magic dream that I would be ...

Way to the future man!

We are moving in on the BUILD event in Anaheim about Windows 8, and people have gone crazy guessing about what will happen. Recently at the local usergroup geekbeer we were talking about all the rumors and all of our different views on how we guess it’ll be. Rumors HTML5, Javascript, C++, Jupiter… Some of ...

[DK] Code Jazz

Før ferien så jeg at ONUG (Odense .NET User Group) holdte et par CodeJazz…samt at der var lørdagshyggehackning hos Eksponent i København. Det fik mig til at tænke på om der mon ikke også er lidt for mange kodehoveder i Århus der sidder derhjemme, og roder med et eller andet projekt de gerne vil gøre ...

[DK] Mr. Frost Julekalender

…og vinderen er: Mikael Syska Han har valgt at lave den rå udgave hvor der bliver tegnet et diagram, og gemt som en png. Koden er fin struktureret og der skal meget lidt til før at den vil kunne anvendes som et mere generelt søjlediagram. Derud over skal siges at der var fine runners up…hvis ...

Don’t wanna mess up my object #004

So as a really slow followup on my #003 post I’ll add a nice little thing you can do to help you keeping your domainobjects clean. I’ve written about the DebuggerDisplay but that might not cut it, perhaps there is some nice to know information that you could use during debugging but doesn’t really have ...

What’s hiding inside #003

Not so long ago I stumbled upon a minor feature that I haven’t seen before and I gotta say that I really like it. It might be simple but it can save some trouble. Todays little tip is about the class named DebuggerDisplay. Have you ever been annoyed by the fact that Visual Studio only ...

What’s cooking in my install…

For good times sake of people being curious about my install of WordPress… Currently I’m running a very low modified WordPress install to keep it as simple as possible to maintain. I can’t be bothered with major update scenarios and so on, it doesn’t really interest me to do stuff like that Of course my ...

New books on the shelves

I went on a minor book shopping spree last week. I tried to find a really good book for developers that wasn’t only about code (besides that it was VERY recommended reading on StackOverflow). So after some shuffling around Amazon.co.uk I decided to buy “Code Complete 2nd Edition” by Steven McConnell. So far I haven’t ...

There is more than one way to skin a path #002

How often do you work with paths? Quite allot of people don’t really take their time to look at the “minor” stuff in the .NET Framework, and one of the classes I see skipped is something as plain and simple as Path. I don’t think anyone at the office used it before I started back ...
