So, if you haven’t heard yet about T4, it’s a built-in DSL tool that comes pre-packaged with Visual Studio starting with the 2005 version. Even though T4 can look a bit scary, it can be very useful if you need to generate code on the fly within Visual Studio. I will leave it up to [...]

Posted in .NET Framework, AJAX, ASP.NET, MVC | No Comments

In my last post I told you that I was going to work on a project that was “for me–by me”.   The project idea that I eventually decided on was a job board application that was very Web 2.0 centric and played nicely with the social networking websites that are so popular today.  I finally [...]

Yeah, that’s what software developers do right?  For a while I have been thinking about building a web application where I can simple have some fun doing it and not have to worry about deadlines or business users changing the requirements every other week.  Don’t get me wrong, that’s all a part of being a [...]
