Right To Left By host on 4/10/2005
Loren Halvorson has a great comparision of Log4Net versus the Enterprise Library Logging Block. I totally agree with his analysis. However you can remove the logging and replace it with Log4Net fairly easily.

Great CSS site
Right To Left By host on 4/6/2005
I have always liked CSS. I have used it a lot for some of the ASP.Net websites I have worked on. I am just starting to grasp the div instead of tables idea. This really saved me for printing on my last assignment. But until I saw http://csszengarden.com/ I had no idea how powerful CSS was! I wonder if the avalon guys are already thinking of something similar to use with XAML?

.Net Interview Questions
Right To Left By host on 4/6/2005
I found a great list of interview questions from Scott Hanselmen: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/WhatAGreatNETDevelopersOughtToKnowMoreNETInterviewQuestions.aspx. I really like these because they really are not to C# or VB specific. They also are not only about web or widnows developement. IF you are going to interview with me, expect some of these questions.

Microsoft is Spartacus
Right To Left By host on 3/17/2005
One person that I spoke with at Microsoft gave me this illustration. (Sorry I don’t remember his name!) At the end of Kubrick’s film Spartacus (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054331/) everyone stands up and says “I’m Spartacus.” Although I haven’t seen the film in years I remember this scene so it must have left an impression on me. After all these years I finally have found out that Microsoft is Spartacus. Here is why. Everything at Microsoft is about integration. For instance everyone wants to use webservices. Sql does, Biztalk does, ASP.Net does, WSE does, Indigo does, even Office does – when will they standardize on Indigo!!! Hopefully in my career lifetime.
