Rob Conery - How I Got Started In Software Development

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 00:14:09 GMT

How old were you when you first started in programming? I was 13 when I got a Radio Shack "computer" for my birthday. I wanna say it was a TRS-80, but this is before those - it didn't have any kind of floppy disc, and all it let you do was write BASIC apps on a TV screen. But it really doesn't count because all I did was let my big brother show me how to make a Christmas tree using some capital A's with BASIC. 136242-18_TRS-80-Model-1 I remember feeling extremely cool - my big brother is quite the genius and at the time was getting his PhD in computer science from UC Irvine.

S#arp Architecture

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 10:00:03 GMT

A brief article I wrote on the new S#arp Architecture framework that combines ASP.NET MVC with NHibernate to form a very solid project base for .NET projects. This project encourages the use of many of the "best practices" in the .NET world: test driven development, domain driven design, object relational mapping, model view controller, dependency injection / inversion of control, and separation of concerns.

Remove generated JavaScript from your pages

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 00:31:03 GMT

One of the things that have always seemed a little weird to me is that ASP.NET auto-generates JavaScript and injects it in the rendered HTML. The JavaScript is needed to handle validation, postbacks, callbacks etc. but why does it have to write the same static functions when it could just as well be placed in a referenced .js file? If all the static functions where placed in an external .js file, it would be downloaded once instead of every time a page loads.
