So this is my first MVP Summit and it sure is interesting. The theme seems to be that the VB folks are disgruntled. They seem to be feeling left behind. Everything from “VB6 or die” to case-insensitive programming. I hadn’t actually realized the latter was a “thing”. I just figured … well never mind.

So PureText has been making the rounds on the blogs. It’s certainly a great little tool, but I thought I would point out something that all the bloggers seems to have overlooked. If you’re not a programmer you probably don’t care, but PureText comes to us from the creator of the Dependency Walker. If you’ve been programming Windows for five minutes (to paraphrase John Robbins) you have surely heard of “Depends”.

See you all at the Summit. Be sure to say hi!

We’re off to Vancouver Island for five days of relaxation, well as much relaxation as you can get with three kids under five years of age. It’s our first visit to the island since moving to British Columbia, so we’re really looking forward to the experience.

Since publishing my Introduction to MSIL series, I have received a number of questions related to compilers and IL. In this post I hope to address a number of those questions.

Sorry for the lack of posts in the last few weeks. I’ve been quite busy with various projects (and family) which have taken up all of my time. Some quick thoughts:

Don’t worry. Before you cancel your hotel reservations, the PDC is by no means cancelled!
