Eric J. Smith's Weblog

I just got done reading this book and I thought I would let you guys know that it does a really great job of introducing you to all of the new ASP.NET 2.0 features.  It doesn't go into a lot of detail, but it does a great job of letting you know what's coming and how it will work.  I would highly recommend this book.

I just went to the bookstore and picked up a copy of the November issue of Access-VB-SQL Advisor Magazine.  Mike Gunderloy had given me a heads up that there would be an article about CodeSmith in this issue.  I figured it would be burried deep in the magazine somewhere, but boy was I surprised to find out that the article was on the cover!!!  Very cool!!  Run, don't walk, to your closest bookstore and pickup your copy now! 

If you are a CodeSmith user and would like to help spread the word, you can put one of the built with CodeSmith icons on your website. See all the icons here

Here are some recent articles about CodeSmith:

Bills win 31-0, Miami loses to the Texans and the Bills are in sole possession of 1st place in the AFC East after one week.  There is a long way to go, but what a great start!

Welcome to the community Mark!  I will definately be taking you up on your IBindingList, ITypedList and IEditableObject offer.  I am looking into creating an O/R mapping schema for CodeSmith and then I would like to build a complete set of pure OO templates on top of that.

I will be starting a new job at Match.com this coming Wednesday. I am extremely excited about the job and I would like to thank Jason Alexander and Richard Wetzel for helping me out on the inside. Match.com has had a recent success story with .NET and it will be a blast getting to see how they did things.

I'm also pretty excited to bring CodeSmith into a development team this big and see if I can get it to catch on. No matter what happens, I'm sure it will be a great learning experience and that great things will happen as a result.

I recently wrote two reviews for DotNetToolBox.com, one on NUnit and the other on CodeSmith, two of my favorite free tools.ÂIf you get a chance you should take a couple minutes and contribute a review on your favorite free .NET tool, it will seriously only take you about 10 minutes.ÂApparantly Scott will really appreciate it. :)
