Had mine ordered for months now...but the big day finally approaches - Code Complete (US) is simply the single most essential book for any coder. I read the Drafta few months ago and have to say that the second edition is even better - buy it, read it, love…

This post by Scott Hanselman is just a brilliant starting point for beginners in application architecture (in any language actually). In my experience a good basic structure can solve so many problems in an application - and in many cases is a 'freebie', i.e.,…
Back from my (admittedly short) break - Dad's birthday which I really wanted to be at home for this year. We're trying to get a bit more structure going at my place of work, well we had some before but as we get busier and busier we need to get a more…

Sorry, I had some downtime over the weeken - I was away for the Easter break and so was only able to restart just now. If you've sent me any mail over the last couple of days, chances are I haven't recieved it.

OK, let me start by saying that I enjoy working in C# / .NET more than I have any other language / framework in my working life. The problem is, that's just not enough. The simple fact is that I've chosen to live and work in Scotland and this severly limits my…
