JScript[.NET] Support for E4X? This post goes out to whoever in Microsoft might be able to shed some light on the subject: When, if at all, can we expect to see support for E4X in JScript[.NET]? My main reason for asking is because Mozilla recently added support for it to their ECMAScript implementation and I can already see the same […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Yahoo Web Service APIs Well Yahoo has released their search engine web service APIs. The fact that they chose to ignore industry standard communication protocols (SOAP + WS-*) was just a bad decision IMHO. Now all the toolkits that exist for various languages/frameworks are useless in helping the programmer develop against these APIs and everyone must roll their own […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Longhorn FUD Spreading Like Wildfire According to this post over at TSS.NET, Avalon and Indigo have now been dropped as pillars of Longhorn. Unfortunately the post doesn’t link to any source for where they are getting this information. Personally I think it’s misinterpretation. I mean there were only three pillars that really made Longhorn anything other than a service pack and if […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Mimeo.com Turns Five and Gets Review in PC Magazine Mimeo.com went live five years ago as of yesterday and as a nice birthday present we just got a great review in PC Magazine. I’m glowing like a proud father. 🙂 Even better, the issues they mention with regards to calling customer service for special instructions are being addressed in the new version of the site we’re about to start beta testing.

Mimeo.com Kicks Butt in ’04 2004 was a great year and 2005 is already looking like the year we’re going to explode. My lack of posting can be directly attributed to the fact that we’re pushing really hard to get our new architecture done and into a beta state. I’m extremely happy with where we are at this point, it just took longer than […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Happy Birthday To Me! A look back over the past 10 years… Today I am 28. I started working in this industry in late 1995, so it’s almost 10 years now. Wow. I am honestly amazed at how fast it has all gone by. Here’s the basic story of the past ten years of my career: HTML Whiz I landed my job because I knew HTML inside and out.

What’s wrong with the CLS not supporting generics fully? I saw Brad’s post entitled The Love Affair is Over which is a response to the announcement of support for generics being added to the CLS 2.0 and wanted to chime in. In Brad’s post he mentions that James Robertson shares the same opinion. It seems to me that James has confused CLS (Common Language Specification) and CLR (Common […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
IanG on the Difficulties of Rendering Moving Pictures Ian Griffiths just posted an awesome entry on animation and the problems related to rendering. I learned a lot reading it, so I highly recommend it to anyone else who is into this subject… which should pretty much be anyone who is going to be building applications with Avalon. 😉 Avalon should hide some of the […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
WinFS Delay Critics: Stop trying to make it sound so easy Ok look, I’m not exactly thrilled with the fact that WinFS might not see the light of day until ~2010 either. I’ve been looking forward to the point where rich forms of data are managed by the OS for quite some time. Imagine being able to ship a product where you don’t need to install a custom database […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Indigo CTP anytime soon? I seem to remember thinking Indigo was one of the most complete pillars of Longhorn when I walked out of the PDC 2003, where as Avalon had a lot more work to go. Since then I think I believe I recall reading that they were taking some Indigo pieces back to the drawing board, but… it’s […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
