I’ve recently been in the habit of decorating links to Twitter profiles with the Twitter icon. This technique makes it easy for readers to scan a page and know exactly where the link points without having to spend time hovering over or clicking on the link.

I am pleased to announce that Secrets of Real World ASP.NET Dynamic Data Websites is now available as a Wrox Blox ebook. The material for this book is largely pulled from the recent talks I’ve given at various user groups and developer conferences on the same topic.

Yesterday I posted a podcast Digital Productivity Strategies for Developers where I talk about using Gmail for implementing the concepts found in the book Getting Things Done. I talk about not being able to search inside multiple labels and thus needing two accounts for managing “things to do”.

Over the years I have spent a fair amount of time thinking about design patterns surrounding the presentation layer. Just as your values as a grown-up are often determined by experiences you have as a child – I think my interest in these patterns stem from frustrations I had as a newbie developer.

I realize this is a little late, but I thought I would put up links for the session materials to whomever attended my 10 Secrets of Real World Dynamic Data Websites at the Southern California Rock n’ Roll Code Camp this year.
