[I'm starting the buzz as early as I can...] I am in the process of putting together a free fullday training in Tampa called "A Day of Ajax" with Joe Healy (my Blog Daddy), Jim Zimmerman , and Jon Goodyear (and ASPSOFT ).

I recently built a rather lengthy set of presentations, and I used the tools window as a ring of snippets that I pasted in as I was working through my...

I’ve looked at Refactoring tools a number of times in the past (but never blogged my experiences). For the longest time I used CodeRush/ReFactor! Pro, and lately I switched to ReSharper. I’m starting to become dissatisfied with the speed and am starting to wonder what else is out there. I...

I love VS 2005. But does anyone else run into this. You're working along and all of a sudden you think your box is frozen solid??? When you hit task manager, VS 2005 has locked and is grabbing 90% of the CPU and the devenv process is eating memory like there's no tomorrow (if you let it sit and wait...
