Okay, I've had SubText up and running for a week and some now, so naturally it is time to tinker. In poking around, I'm not as happy with SubText's integration model as I was with DasBlog's. DasBlog exposed a number of "macros" that you could use to insert certain internal values into your own stuff. I kind of liked their model because once you registered your own code, you could reference your macros from DasBlog stuff as well (bear in mind that I didn't actually implement DasBlog, so my impression could be off).
That said, as long as you don't need to...
The trend towards increasing security introduces a number of intricacies for medium-sized business software shops using Active Directory Domains. An internal domain with more than a dozen workstations can introduce issues that are old hat for larger shops, but way beyond anything a small business will have to deal with. I ran into one such issue recently when I decided it'd be a cool thing for one of my apps to actually run from the network.
The Problem
The first sign I had a problem was when a module that worked fine locally threw a "System.Security.SecurityException" when run from a network share....
Whoa, that was fast. Udi Dahan responded to my post on DataSets and DbConcurrencyException. Cool. Also cool: he has a good point. Two good points, really.
Doing OLTP Better Out of the Box
I'll take his last point first because it's pure conjecture. Why don't DataSets handle OLTP-type functions better? My first two suggestions would, indeed, be better if they were included in the original code generated by the ADO.NET dataset designer. I wish that they were. Frankly, the statements already generated by the "optimistic" updates option are quite complex as-is and adding an additional "OR" condition per field wouldn't really be adding that much...
Well, I still haven't chosen what blog software I want to use in a new home. So many to chose from and none are a perfect fit. The comments left by Scott Hanselman, Phil Haack, and Dave Burke were good ones and point out the connectedness of the blogosphere (is that word accepted enough to forgo the quotes now?)
Since I gave DasBlog such short shrift in my original post, I spent some quality time with it. DasBlog has some really strong points in its favor. For one, it has a very active developer community, though that isn't as apparent as it...
It's always the little things that chafe, you know? I mean, for the most part I'm happy with Windows Live Spaces, but there are little things that bug me from time to time so I find myself getting antsy. On the plus side, I like the modules and the freedom to place them where I want them. I like the book list (but I'd like it better if I could a) put it in the order I want and b) could rate the books listed there). I like my links. But I find that I keep wanting things I get...
The following applies mainly to in-house business software development. It might or might not apply to ISV or other product development houses. I think that there's room for broad application, but you can hit my list of software blogs if you want some quality sources for more generalized ISV or product development exploration. Back when I was looking to hire developers a couple years ago, I knew some programmers that I wanted on my team. I had worked with them before and knew what they were capable of. Unfortunately, they didn't have much experience with .NET--our platform at the time. I...
