Yah... right...
"The world is down to two developer camps: One is .Net, the other is Sun ONE Java. Java is the No. 1 development platform. Viruses are a feature in .Net, but Java has security built in. I find it funny how the default setting in Win XP lets in Office macros but blocks Java," he told an amused audience.

Dot Net Rocks
"Stephen talks about the International .NET Association (INETA - www.ineta.org), relates his .NET success stories, and talks about design patterns, COM Interop, Performance Anxiety, ASP.NET Forms Authentication, ViewState, Caching, and the DataGrid control. The DataGrid Girl (www.datagridgirl.com) calls and yaks with Carl, Mark, and Stephen about the ASP.NET DataGrid. "

Can I Get My View State To Go?
"I have seen many people ask how can you leave a Page and restore its ViewState upon later returning. In the past I provided some helpful hints, but never taken the time to build a full working example, but an online challenge promising a free 6-pack made me finally put together this article and demo. This particular example redirects the user to a separate Page to better allow a date field selection, and then redirects the user back to the original Page, while restoring all the previous posted values. You could use similar techniques to save the state of a Page in a database to be restored much later. "

VB Enhancements
"Looking over the new features planned for C# and then for VB.NET it seems (at least at first glance) that C# programmers are getting lots of new goodies which the VB guys aren't. So far MSFT has gone to great lengths to keep both languages equivalent, but it seems that either the VB team is one release behind the C# team in 2003, or that the language specifications are beginning to diverge...Opinions anyone?"

Wrox
Everyone's talking about all these great SQL and VB books from Wrox. Those were nothing compared to the books that made Wrox famous. Old school guys should remember the only Wrox book that I own: "The Revolutionary Guide to Assembly Language." Approx. 1,500 pages of good old ASM code. It was definately the best ASM reference I've come across, affectionately known by me and my cohorts as "the big red book".

Smart Tags
I finally found the first ever useful smart tags today. FedEx tracking number smart tags...now, if only IE hadn't disable them... Anyone know where the UPS ones went? Can't seem to track them down.

Freedom Fries
"But besides this, all of this flaming France is really just a juvenile way to try to divert people from the fact that we really do not have a good enough argument to convince the French and others to come to our government's point of view. Ad hominem attacks are an age-old fallacy and a significant indicator of insecurity in one's own position."

WS-Confusion
"I was reading Blogfarb's Goldblog "Writing specs just for the spec of it?" http://radio.weblogs.com/0121172/2003/03/10.html which has a link to an infoworld article http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/03/05/HNmanyspecs_1.html quoting Don Box. He is critical of the number of specs being written and the reasons. I see his name on the ws-xyz specs. I am confused."
