RubyFringe - Day 1

Today was the first day of RubyFringe here in Toronto Canada. The conference put on by Unspace and they have done a great job. Last night we enjoyed a get-together at the Amsterdam Brewery with free wine, beer and finger food. I think everyone had a great time. I am here partially for my own interests and to do some interviews on Sunday for InfoQ . InfoQ has a large presence here at RubyFringe because they are a Toronto-based company and to support the local Ruby community. InfoQ is videotaping all...

ADO.NET Entity Framework No Confidence Article on InfoQ

I wrote an article and published it today on InfoQ , called ADO.NET Entity Framework Taking Some Heat . It is about the recent petition put out by some industry folks concerned about the soon-to-be-released version 1.0 of the framework, called ADO .NET Entity Framework Vote of No Confidence . I was a little reluctant to published the article with fear of taking a side and not just reporting the facts. It is a good battle with two sides who are clearly passionate about their work.

Interview with Nate Kohari of Ninject up on InfoQ

I had a great interview with Nate Kohari , the creator of the Ninject dependency injection framework . The interview was for InfoQ and of course, I think it's worth a read. Ninject runs on a variety of .NET platforms: .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and 3.5 (Ninject.Core and Ninject.Conditions) Silverlight 2.0 beta 2 (Ninject.Core, Ninject.Conditions, and all shipping extensions) There are a few competing dependency injection frameworks available but this on seems to have...

The ALT.NET Podcast

Mike Moore has a new podcast out called the ALT.NET Podcast where he talks with the people following the ALT.NET community . I have listened to the first two episodes and think both are really good and deserve a listen. Mike is the creator of the Rubiverse podcast as well. I recently had the opportunity to talk with Mike about the podcast for my work on InfoQ . Mike has some great plans for the podcast and if you follow the ALT.NET community then give it a listen. The term ALT.NET seems to have gained...

Some information on Unity to get going: Introduction to Unity Downloading Unity Unity and Silverlight Using Unity and the ASP.NET MVC Preview 2 There are certainly a good number of Dependency Injection contains for .NET which have either been around for a long time or have sprung up recently. I am planning...

The State of IronRuby with John Lam posted on InfoQ

I have been working for the past few weeks on an interview with John Lam , Program Manager on the Dynamic Language Runtime Team and the leader of the IronRuby project . The interview is complete is is now up on InfoQ for all to read . I think the interview gives some good insight to where the team is today with the implementation and where they need to be once they release IronRuby 1.0. John was gracious in responding to my questions, even though he is extremely busy with this project. It is an exciting...

Interview with Patrick Smacchia of NDepend is up on InfoQ

I had the opportunity to interview Patrick Smacchia , a Microsoft C# MVP and creator of NDepend , recently about his product NDepend and how NDepend can help with code analysis, code coverage, refactoring and many other metrics to help the developer. The interview was for the developer-related web site InfoQ , where I often write. Note: This is not intended to be a review, I may add one later. One of the other .NET Editors at InfoQ is going to be publishing a complete review of NDepend 2.6, so I...

My David Heinemeier Hansson Rails 2.0 Interview up on InfoQ

I had the opportunity to interview David Heinemeier Hansson , Ruby on Rails creator, recently for InfoQ and it went live today. I was very impressed with David's willingness to talk to me given the interview occurred right after the Rails 2.0 release. I am sure I was not the only one pursuing him for an interview at the time. You can check out the full interview, Talking Rails 2.0 with David Heinemeier Hansson , at InfoQ. Technorati Tags: Ruby on Rails , DHH , David Heinemeier Hansson , InfoQ...
