ASP.NET Interview Questions

By: David Starr Category:General PostTag: Esoterica, New Post:

This is a list of interview questions for ASP.Net programmers that Scott Hanselman posted. This is a good list. Everyone should know these. From constructor to destructor (taking into consideration Dispose() and the concept of non-deterministic finalization), what the are events fired as part of the ASP.NET System.Web.UI.Page life cycle. Why are they important? What […]

VSS 8.0 and CruiseControl.Net

By: David Starr Category:General PostTag: Esoterica, New Post:

Craig Andera of Pluralsight recently posted about his CruiseControl.Net experience for FlexWiki. The post itself is interesting, as he has made an attempt at having lowering pain of ownership of CruiseControl.Net in a multi project environment.

What I Did This Weekend

By: David Starr Category:General PostTag: Esoterica, New Post:

I love living in Idaho. My wife and the 2 older boys were off to Seattle for the weekend, so the 2 little ones and I headed for the mountains. We were at 9000 ft. and it actually got a little chilly at night. Nice for a change.

MS Assessments

By: David Starr Category:General PostTag: Esoterica, New Post:

Microsoft has published some little freebie try-it tests to test you technical prowess on a variaty of subjects. You know, it is about time. This just makes sense. When you are done with the test, you get a personalized study plan. Nice. Anyone try it yet? http://www.msmeasureup.com/test/home.asp

Visual Studio Architect vs. Developer

By: David Starr Category:General PostTag: Esoterica, New Post:

This is a great picture to remember when someone asks you the differences in the Whidbeys. The differences between Architect and Developer do make me ask if anyone has ever known an architect that does NOT function as a Team Developer. Me either. Why then has MS left Testing and Code coverage out of the […]

2 Movies in One Afternoon

By: David Starr Category:UncategorizedTag: Movies:

The Bourne Supremacy We have finally gone overboard on the trendy hand-held camera shot that “moves with the action”. I actually closed my eyes several times during this movie in order to not get nauseous. 5 years ago this movie would never have left the cutting room, as camera work like this is just plain […]
