Ei,, I have been receiving alot of emails lately asking me to share some details about the Mark Miller talk at the San Diego .Net Developers group last week. I'm sorry guys if I havent had the time to post the thoughts that were shared on that session, i have been a bit busy lately but dont worry... i have all my notes... all i need to do right now is organize those accumulated knowledge that i got from that session (i havent been in me lethal shape lately after doing some PHP coding for a friend... arrrgh!) so just stay put,, i'll serve you those talk lines soon!

Gee! I'll be having a blast tommorow! Finally i'll get to see one of the guys that i look up to in Application Development and Design! Mark Miller, author of (among many other things) CodeRush, a productivity add-in for VS.NET and Refactor! an add-in to Visual Studio .NET that parses your Source code as you move through it and delivers context specific refactorings that automate the process of reorganizing and shaping your source to make it easier to read and cheaper to maintain. Mark will be the guest speaker tommorow on the group meeting of SD .NET Developers Group. His topic for tommorow would be about "The Science of Great UI " which is expect to be a a great session since i know Mr. Miller is very well-versed when it comes to designing application UI. The meeting will be on Qualcom Incorporated's San Diego Design Center - Auditorium at 6:00-9:00pm. There would be free pizza for the attendees courtesy of SMS.ac plus there would be raffle for some authentic San Diego .NET Developer swag.

"People say that your favorite piece of code tells tales about you.." I want to hear it from you guys, whats your favorite piece code? I work alot with flat files and databases using c# and most of the time the processing of data takes rigorous implementation of string handlers.This takes me to realize that my probable bestfriends right now are the string functions.

"I guess i was also a supervillain... before!" Someone with a great sense of humor made a compeling dissection and presentation on why people should move to the Big Penguin. it's funny, interesting and uhhh...ok ok ok! I admit! its kinda cute! :) definetely something for Linux geek. [:D]

I saw a post in DevPinoy today asking for a demonstration on the disconnected data paradigm in ADO.NET is. With that i decided to create a sample program to illustrate how this works in ADO.NET.
