Stop-the-Line Issues

This is a very brief and good read forming a part of the concept of technical debt. The author explains why it is important to fix bugs as discovered and not leave them piling up in a bug tracking system. I tend to agree with this approach. http://community.ative.dk/blogs/ative/archive/2007/01/29/The-Waste-of-Defects-_2D00_-Bugs-are-Stop_2D00_the_2D00_Line-Issues.aspx Subscribe in a reader Join my blog network on Facebook Blog Networks Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit...

Speeding up SharePoint (or any IIS hosted website)

A client of mine recently complained about the speed of their SharePoint portal. After playing around I found this very simple and useful solution to the client's problem. This is not SharePoint specific and can be applied to any site hosted in IIS. Add the following http header to the list in IIS cache-control: (name) max-age=3600, no-check (value) What this does is to tell IIS to stop and update static content like images on every load. Simple and effective. Share this post: email it! | bookmark...
