I'm curious to know how other SharePoint developers setup their dev workstations. My current setup: Desktop with Server 2008 (only for Hyper-V, was using Vista before) Use Visual Studio 2008 on local machine for dev work Keep a local copy of SharePoint DLLs for referencing, no local SharePoint install Run SharePoint in a Server 2...
My company is pushing that everyone switch to Vista on new laptops. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 right now and had to fix some compatibility issues. I could push for XP and go through HR, but I also could just get accustomed to Vista just for experience sakes. Any experiences with development and Vista? Pros/Cons? ...
This is going to be a bit of an essay. Here’s the background. We design content managed web sites for graphic designers as you can see at http://www.yart.com.au/Our-Work.aspx We code these sites from provided artwork, we don't graphically design them. For the last 7 years we have used our own ASP/ASP.NET hybrid CMS and it seems to be ...
It could be as simple as one-liner scripts, or as complex as a complete programming language with parser and debugger. But there's the well-known danger of creating a labor-saving tool, that takes more labor to create than the original task (unless you can it amortize it over several projects). I'm concerned about getting carried away ...
I've been working on a home project using VS2008. It involves WCF and Silverlight. Until recently, ASP.NET development server worked just fine and was accessible from the browsers (I use both FF and IE). Now, it seems the browsers are no longer able to access the asp.net dev server. Initially, I believed it to be certain installations I ...
Hi, I want to integrate some http modules in my asp.net application (v 3.5, visual studio 2008) and I'm not sure how to debug or use such modules while debugging in the asp.net development server that fires when I run the web app. Do I need to include the module source in the solution or can I just drop the DLL into BIN? I'm from the 1...
I know this is subjective and not really a question. I won't feel bad if it is closed, but I'm curious about this. I was recently learning some details about a project that uses Microsoft Sharepoint as the development platform and honestly I don't know if they are doing something very wrong or the product itself is just a pain to develo...
In other words, how do people work with Git? I just finished uploading my first project and it was far from being a straightforward task, anyway once the thing is up and running what would be a good configuration? I cannot see how people could rely on the GitGUI or command line for their professional development work or worse code stra...
It has been said elsewhere that developing for iPhone requires an Intel-based computer, but this doesn't seem to be the case according to the few introductory Apple docs I've read. See this for example, which says merely, "To develop applications for iPhone OS, you need a Mac OS X computer running the Xcode tools." Can anyone provide a r...
I heard about this 3 zero-* concept some time ago, and like the idea very much. Now I want to become more familiar with the concept, as well as locate the source. Neither Google nor fellow developers could provide any additional details. What do you know about the 3 zero-* concept? ...

I am curious if you might share your experiences developing software using graphical models of any kind. Flowcharts, state diagrams, whatever. Have you found any graphical tools that dramatically increased your productivity over working in pure code? ...
hello, my background: i've been developing web applications using php and javascript for the past ten years. before that, i've developed applications using turbo pascal for DOS. in my opinion application and web application development are two different kinds of development (at least it's what i think when i remember back the old days o...
I am interested in in joining an already established compiler or interpreter development project but I haven't found any useful resources so far. I'm looking for something that has a smallish development team and where the work will be substantial (i.e. not working on bug fixes). SourceForge of course has a lot of projects but it definit...
I know there are a number of threads recommending xp-dev.com, but I'm wondering if anyone has had any reason not to recommend the service? ...
I have had a few development managers who don't seem to understand or appreciate the difficulties of software design and implementation. Such managers believe that processes and methodologies completely solve the problem and I have a tough time explaining to them that it is not so and that you cannot read a book on the latest process fa...
Most of the time I worked as an application developer at backend side. I worked on enterprise web projects but never touched on user interface, design issues. Good looking web sites and user interfaces always impress me. And nowadays I am trying to develop public web site I know CSS, HTML but stuck with web design / user interface iss...
I've been searching through the Microsoft Silverlight site, and I am guessing the answer to my question will be no. But is there any non official or official version of the Silverlight development SDK for Mac OS? I want to avoid installing Windows, but I want to develop in Silverlight. ...
I would like to know opinions about the fastest combination of language, libraries and tools that allow for fast prototyping of application in the 3 most important OS (Win, Mac, Linux). In the past, I've used processing for visual sketches, but I would like to know about other options, since this is oriented to visual artists, not progr...
I've been working at home for some time now and though I can often find answers -- and the occasionally terrific walkthrough article -- I haven't found a way to either hire or solicit the services of a "mentor." By that I mean someone who can: walk me through an implementation so that I understand what I'm doing, determine flaws in my ...
