Monday, February 23, 2004I really need to find time for the last half-dozen software reinstalls on this box, but Monday might not be the best of all possible days for that. Even the Internet is hopping already.
Software
- Hood Canal Systems - Controls for .NET Compact Framework development including a nice signature capture control.
- QASharp 1.1 - Query tool for MSDE databases.
- CodeSmith 2.5 has been released. You can now choose between the free standard version or the $79.95 Professional edition that includes a spiffy new IDE for writing code-generation templates.
- Subversion 1.0.0 - Another open-source source code control system hits a major milestone.
- InfoPath 2003 Service Pack 1 Preview and InfoPath 2003 Toolkit for Visual Studio .NET - Just in time to make the book chapter I wrote this weekend obsolete. There's also a press release. Incidentally, CRN had the story last night; they frequently seem to jump the gun in posting embargoed news by a few hours.
Information
- VB/VBA Developer's Guide to the Windows Installer - This is a book I did for Sybex, based on the 1.0 release of the Windows Installer. It didn't do especially well in the market, and the rights have reverted to me. So, if you want, you can download the uncorrected galleys and read it for free now. Out of date, but perhaps still useful. (Zipped Acrobat files)
- Bucket Boss PDA Holster - If you're into the bat belt look, Bucket Boss makes high-quality stuff. I'm actually using a Two-way Radio Holster myself (it holds an HP Jornada quite well), because I prefer all-black on my bat belt <g>.
Community
- Inside Indigo - Kirk Allen Evans collects a bunch of pointers to Indigo material. I'm far from ready to jump on the SOA bandwagon myself, but it's good to have all this stuff in one place.
- What's Good About Smalltalk - Alan Knight discusses the reasons he likes working with Smalltalk.
- What is BVT Part III - Gunnar Kudrjavets wraps up his series about smoke-testing code with some thoughts about the virtue of paranoia.
