asp.net, i think i like windows. November 29, 2006

so i have been getting involved more and more in VS2005 lately. i have to say windows is surprising me and is actually making my life really easier when it comes to building web applications. today, i found out about a nice tool to manage displaying different content depending on their role. the role management offered by vs2005 is nice and can be used very easily. It allows me to customize information that will be presented by users through different templages. This is done based on theirs roles.

It’s sometimes recommended to read about the “what’s new”.

Manage user-based content display and user data persistence

confusion with coldfusion November 14, 2006

seriously, i don’t know why some people decided to use coldfusion 4.5: right now, i have to understand and enhance somebody’s coldfusion code to make it work for the company i work for. while trying to do that, i realize that most of the functions that i need now to speed up the code, are not available for version 4.5

is there anybody who has a good resource for coldfusion 4.5?

moving forward to more futuristic methods/technologies:
i found a nice one-chapter example of the new series by o’reilly: head rush AJAX.
I really like the style how this serie of books presents its content to the readers: easy, funny and nice to read and understand. I am really thinking of buying it.
Another one I am reading/using is this one:  head first design patterns.
