PowerPoint Bullets Bye Bye
Abstract from MasterViews (Indexed 2006-03-22):
Why would you want to get rid of bullets in your presentations? In my blog entry, Why bullets are bad, I explain. In short, they can turn a good presentation into a boring one. Photo credit: Scott Maxwell But how do you get rid of bullets?...
Domain Driven Design for C# 3.0
Abstract from Bil Simser (Indexed 2007-01-21):
Or maybe 4.0? Paul Gielens got my brain jump started this morning with a post about DDD support in the C# language. Domain Driven Design can be hard to grasp and even harder to implement. Conceptually it's easy and makes sense (at least to me). We all read the books and get the theory, but when the rubber hits the road the biggest question anyone has is "how do I write code that reflects this?". Everyone has ideas and if you take a quick search of the DDD mailing list, you'll see dozens of co...(truncated)...
Online PowerPoint Presentations: Some Things To Avoid
Abstract from MasterViews (Indexed 2006-02-10):
Yesterday I attended an online presentation from a group of academics of an international university in Europe. While all of them deserved anyone compliments for the clear investments in preparing and delivering such an information-rich session, the communication effectiveness of their session left something to be desired. It is in fact a rarity nowdays to attend any type of conference, online or off, that doesn't kill the audience by way...

What is this CodePlex all about?
Abstract from Bil Simser (Indexed 2006-05-20):
So CodePlex is out in the wild and there are a few showcase projects setup, but what’s it all about?
CodePlex.com is a simple but highly functional online collaboration venue for distributed, community-collaborative software development. For the last year, a team in Microsoft has been putting together this tool which is the first Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (VSTFS) over the Internet. For Microsoft, their primary objective with CodePlex is to enable Windows and .NET develo...(truncated)...
Where did my SDK go?
Abstract from Bil Simser (Indexed 2007-01-23):
If you've downloaded the recent release of the MOSS and WSS SDKs, you may be scratching your head wondering where they installed to? After all, they're just some compiled help files and samples right?
Seems that in their infinite wisdom, some young and bright engineer at Microsoft broke Phil Haacks first rule of hardware design (which bodes the same for software design). The computer belongs to me, not you!
It seems the SDK installers will hunt down and find the last writable dr...(truncated)...
MOSS and WSS RTM SDKs available now
Abstract from Bil Simser (Indexed 2007-01-23):
How's that for posts with the most acronyms? It might be old news to you by now, but MS has finally released the RTM versions of the SDK documentation for both MOSS and WSS. Randall's blog has all the nitty gritty details here. He's also got a great resource called the top 10 resources for SharePoint developers (which is actually 14, who said softies could count?) so check that out here.
As for the SDKs they're final now but wait, there's more... these are the first ones outside of the...(truncated)...
SharePoint Forums off to testing
Abstract from Bil Simser (Indexed 2006-05-09):
Whew. Finally. The forums have been sent off to the testers. I’ll be doing a few final changes this week while they have it for the public release later this week. Source code will be available in the near future, but watch for a special announcement about that (yes, the source will still be available). Here are some shots of the finished product that you’ll be getting soon.
Multiple forums with categorization (setup to mimic some of the ASP.NET forums)

Abstract from I Heart Tech (Indexed 2006-05-21):
Has my absence made your heart grow fonder? That's what they say happens, you know? Aside from getting ready for the NOLA Tech Revival -which starts tomorrow! - one of the many projects that has kept me away was co-authoring...

Abstract from Dwayne Melancon (Indexed 2007-01-23):
Got a presentation or message to deliver? Get to the point. To get the message to a more "crisp" state, here is a tip that helps me: If the message, slide deck, or document is running too long, I pretend...
