• Concurrency is all the rage in MSDN Magazine

  The October 2008 issue of MSDN Magazine features lots of articles about parallelism and concurrency. I guess it's all the rage these days!

• Microsoft's Updated "Guidelines for Test-Driven Development"

  The previous incarnation of that Microsoft article was heavily panned by critics and in a rare move, Microsoft actually pulled it out of its developer web site.

• My journey (to the dark side) is now complete

  Just when you thought I've crossed over to the dark side , I guess it wasn't complete yet. This one takes it further. My peers in the office often express amazement at my Visual Studio color theme. Maybe they weren't born yet during DOS (those... Posted Aug 07 2007, 11:04 AM by cruizer with | with 11 comment(s) Filed under: DotNET, .NET, Microsoft, dark side
