How well do you know JavaScript? Dean Edwards, a well-known name in the HTML/CSS/JavaScript world, has whipped up a little test to gauge someone’s level of expertise in JavaScript. How knowledgable are you? This got me thinking about Atlas a little. Initially I was ready to say you need to be a level 6 to even think about working with Atlas, but then […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Office 2007 to be stripped of its PDF generation capabilities? Looks like Microsot is expecting Adobe to seek legal action against it based on a “break down in talks” about Office 2007’s built in PDF generation. From the way the article makes it sound, Microsoft has basically already decided to pull the feature. PDF is an open standard, so I dunnuh how much of this is reality yet. This post that I […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Beware the Introduction of DateTime.Kind in .NET 2.0 I just spent the majority of the day fixing some code that was migrated from .NET 1.1 to 2.0. The code in question does a lot of DateTime conversion with respect to timezones. The existing code would basically take the UTC date it was given and adjust it by some arbitrary number of hours representing the […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
WPF: Panels Finally Get a ZIndex Attached Property Karsten let us in on one of apparently only a few API changes in WPF Beta 2: the ZIndex attached property for Panels.

Script#??? Hmmm, this is certainly interesting. Not sure how I feel about it honestly. On one hand I think it’s kinda cool and innovative, but another part of me wonders if it’s the right approach to solving the problem. Keep in mind that JavaScript 2.0 is basically aligning itself with Microsoft’s JScript.NET implementation (note: MS worked closely with ECMA on […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Expression Web Designer CTP Finally Here A couple weeks ago I was wondering where the heck it was and now the first CTP has been released. Downloaded and played with it a little bit and, so far, I love it. Definitely the best environment Microsoft has come up with thus far to do HTML+CSS design.

Upgrading to SubText Please bear with me while I upgrade from .Text 0.95 to SubText 1.0. Everything should just be working, but it’s not quite as pretty as it was right now because I haven’t finished working on the skin. Then again, most people are probably reading all my content from an RSS reader anyway. My main motivation […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
