C# Hidden features

This one is for my team mates who are going to code a server in C# :) you should check this, it is very useful.

It's a collection of C# Hidden features on StackOverFlow.

Just go check them if you wish to increase your knowledge on the evil nasty hidden features of C# they go from compiler hacks to undocumented syntax. Click here to go there

Let me google that for you

Just a small note to those persons who get tired of replying to questions like "what is this?".

Silverlight Vs Flash

I had to put this here, with all the fuss these days around silverlight being a big attack on flash, this proved to be very funny.

You've heard of the new Touchscreen desktops microsoft is marketing, well they have this very cool and well designed web page to advertise it. You can find that here http://www.microsoft.com/surface/index.html if you wish to check it.

Now the reason why i'm posting this it's simple and straight. Microsoft doesn't trust their own framework, otherwise why in the world wouldn't they use their own frameworks?!

Well if you're trying to guess, you are probably right, the website for their new touchscreens is made in flash!!!

Now what a draw back that is to the Silverlight teams and developers learning the new framework, don't you think?

I guess the question "Is Silverlight ready to be used in commercial web-sites?" is answered.

Best 2008 Technologies for web development

Hey, welcome to my coding blog. I'm a bit late as 2008 already ended, but for you guys out-there who were only looking at one framework and want to know what you've lost in the last year. I'll post you here a list of some cool technologies I've used and started loving.

For web development:

• JQuery: This is indeed the best new tool for web-development. If you're tired to write javascript and want to give iteractivity to your website with one or two lines of code, you should use this. It is cross browser, css3 compilant, and free to use with GPL and MIT licenses.

• JSon: Say goodbye to XML which is kind of terrible and old-fashioned these days, and say hello to JSON. This works with a class notation like, to create objects to be sent. Instead of the amount of tags generated in XML, in here it looks like a really simple class of variables.

• Processing: It's a new way to draw javascript generated images on your web-page. It just turned into version 1.0, it is cross browser. You can do a ton of cool stuff with it, including programming OpenGL to be executed on a web browser. Uses a LGPL license, meaning you can use it freely. Note: Processing is actualy made in/for java, but there is a javascript port for it so you can use it with almost the same code :) It's also object oriented and it's very nice to use.
  

These three are really very good and in my opinion should used for everything that involves making good web pages. I suggest you all to try them, they are quite fun to use.
