Today, I started a project on CodePlex called Forgotten AJAX Extenders. The purpose was to create my own Ajax control based on the ASP.Net Ajax Control Toolkit. The toolkit comes with a nice set of pre-built controls; but I think a few controls were left out and that was the reasoning behind the Forgotten AJAX Extenders project name. The first control under development is the Textbox Character Count Extender. I posted a lengthy explanation about what this extender control does on my project home page. Please let me know what you think and if there is a feature that you fell is missing, please use the Discussions tab to provide me with your comments. Well, that’s all for now. Until next time…

Soma announced it today. I’ve got it downloaded and installed in my Windows 7 RC1 that boots from a .vhd file, a new feature with Windows 7. Here is what it looks like:
Well, as you can see, I’ve already starting play around with it and if there is any gotchas I’ll be sure to blog about it. Anyways, if you don’t have a MSDN Subscription, then they are planning on releasing the bits on Wed for non-subscribers. Until next time…
Happy Programming!
UPDATE:
I found blog posting that pretty much list all of the MIX sessions with the audio links included. It’s a nice handy page that makes browsing the sessions much easier.
Here
I’ll watch a few and maybe recommend any sessions that I find that are a must see. Until next time…
Happy Programming!
I will surely be watching the sessions online. I will also be following the conference update from attendees via Twitter via the #mix09 hashtag. The big event to watch is the Keynote by none other than Scott Gu himself, which will be steamed online on 3/18 @ 12pm EST. I expect a lot of big announcements. I will also post any links to session that I find very interesting. Anyways, that is all I have. Until next time..

Pluralsight is a .NET training company that use to only offer on-site instructor lead courses. However, beginning late last year they launch a new version of their website with the main feature being On-Demand video training. Even though this on-demand training feature isn’t free, they have provided some free training for you to sample. Last week I sat and watch their entire ASP.NET Security training series and I really learned a lot. If I had the money, I would pay for their entire online training courses. These guys are good. Anyways, I just thought I should share that with you. Until next time…
Happy Programming!
