  • Git for Visual Studio Developers

    A new course is out from my friend and co-worker, Esteban Garcia! It teaches you how to work with Git from Visual Studio. Working with Git from Visual Studio is an excellent skill to have and know...and if you don't already have a PluralSight subscription, you can sign up for a free trial. It's well worth it and a great learning resource that I utilize all the time.

  • Server controls...a templated approach...

    Accomplishing a centralized page template is proving to be a challenge.  The overall agreed strategy is to utilize server controls for the main page elements and standards form elements (technically still server controls) for the main form area.  The goal is a page (from top to bottom) with a header, and information section, a form or other page elements, then a footer.  Dividing up the page into several server controls seems to be the approach.  A server control for each section including the form/other page elements section that is a container.  Is this going overboard with the use of server controls?  The .Text application seems to accomplish this with user controls rather than server controls from what little I've quickly examined of the code.  What's the community conclusion on page templates.

  • Programming structure...

  • The DataGrid Girl...

    I just stumbled on a great blog entry by Tyson Dowd about the legacy of the DataGrid Girl (aka Marcie Robillard).  Naming yourself after a cool .NET class is very daring, but cool nonetheless, as Tyson attempts to clear a name for himself.  Thanks Tyson for making my day that much better.  I'm looking through the .NET classes trying to make a name for myself...and I'm coming up short.  I'll stick to coding rather than trying to be a celebrity in the community.
