Developing on USB memory sticks by hannes

Jeff Atwood from Coding Horror fame recently wrote about USB memory sticks and why we don’t ‘yet’ put our whole computing environment one a flash drive.

Code Examples by hannes

<rant>One of the most irritating things for me when looking at partial code examples is that they never tell you which components to reference or which namespaces to use / import. </rant> :-( Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

A nice picture I found on Wikipedia explaining .Net 3.0 by hannes

Where is the SOAP? by hannes
