  • I'm planning to get rid of setting our Theme in ASP.NET

    Dec 16 2007 8:46 AM

    The auto inclusion of all our CSS files has finally become too annoying. We'll still use the app_theme directory, as it is a handy way to store our stuff... but I'm really hoping to not set the theme, and to add the appropriate CSS for the situation (mobile vs desktop for example) while also combining our CSS files and 'minifying' them all through a simple 'css.ashx' style handler. This should make it easier to do that combining at run time, while leaving them nice and separate for debug and development purposes. Continue reading...

    We (the dev team behind Channel 9, Channel 10, Mix Online, and others...)been doing scrum-ish development for a few sprints now, but we recently switched to using eScrum. This is a set of templates and tools for use with Team Foundation Server and it really rocks.

  • Need to write a parser of your own?

    If you are a dev, then this code formatting plug-in is probably the coolest thing out there... I'm still ranking Tim's Flickr plug-in as #1 at the moment, at least my slightly customized version that is, but if you'd like a list of several available plug-ins then this spaces entry is a good place to check out. Of course, if you have no idea what Windows Live Writer is... check out this video from on10.net :) Continue reading...
