Hierarchies for Humans, WinForms Data Validation, Chris Sells Interview with
.NET Rocks. Please share this newsletter with your friends.
I Hate Marketing: Please watch for an email from me on Wednesday
(12/4) explaining how you can help me get even with my new marketing guy on
behalf of beleaguered developers around the world. Hint: the pay-back
involves a pie in the face to be delivered at VSLive!
My Coding Standards: Stop wasting time arguing about the right way to
write code. Instead, adopt my short & simple coding standards and move on to
more important topics. See my coding standards @
http://www.sellsbrothers.com/spout/#codingStandards
Hierarchies Doesn't Scale for Humans: Build your applications using hierarchies if you’d like to, but also realize that, as far as human perceptions go, they just don’t cut it. You need to augment hierarchies with other paradigms or eventually they topple. Learn how to enable hierarchies to scale for your users @ http://www.sellsbrothers.com/spout/#hierarchyDoesntScale
WinForms Data Validation: Validating your data thoroughly and correctly using WinForms seems easy in the VS.NET world of drag-n-drop, but there are some real issues. Take a tour of those issues, along with solutions, at http://www.sellsbrothers.com/writing/winformsDataValidation.htm
.NET Rocks Interviews Chris Sells: Listen to me answer questions about COM and .NET components, finalizers, disposing, .NET smart clients, how to navigate sellsbrothers.com, interview weed-out questions and why I call it Sells "brothers." I also offer my opinion on the age-old question of why C++ programmers feel so superior to mere humans. Listen @ http://www.franklins.net/dotnetrocks.asp
Happy Holidays! This year may be a little harder than most not to
buckle under to the pressures of work, but remember to take some time and
appreciate the important things that really matter – your family and friends.
Happy holidays to one and all!
