Once someone gets their site set up, what is the plan for actually getting eyeballs on it? If you can figure that out then you are on to something. I see that you are using social …

Does HTML5 have an element that is similar to an scrollable editable grid, with column headers that don't scroll? I know a lot of people hate that UI idiom, but it's very common an…

Not much really, especially if you limit the XAML to basic layouts. If you do everything in C#, it's not too much different from something like, say, WinForms. Which is why people …

But what would that CSS end up looking like? There will be a lot of proprietary extensions (at least their should be) and a lot of quixotic classes and element id's that you'd prob…

No, Windows phones predate iOS and Android. Android really isn't that much different than Windows Mobile 6.5, aside from touch screen interaction and a superior web browser. (WM 6.…

The developer issue is the thorniest issue with choosing the .NET ecosystem. It's easier to find a .NET developer than a Ruby/Python/what have you, but it's harder to find a good .…

It's best to look at it like most of Microsoft version 1 products - it's going to be painful to use. But it has tons of potential - more so than any product in recent memory. And i…

I just tried this out. Did a search for "golf clubs" in my location. Craiggers gives me 6 results. Craigslist gave me 273. Also, I still think the craigslist ui is actually better …

I often wonder if there is there any volume at all in businesses that sell to startups. The startup market as a whole has to be pretty small. The startup market that will actually …

The site looks great. I assume you are working on this - but do you have screen shots of your admin interface or a list of available images? (You are probably well aware of this, b…

Well there are no real details or specifics of any kind in this article. So that right off prevents me from making any type of analysis of the merits of what this guy is actually d…

This article is so chock full of speculation and all around horrible advice it's hard to pick just one thing to criticize. If this guy's crap has worked in the past, its probably w…

Not sure about that. The Web Platform installer has introduced a lot of pain to what used to be fairly simple proceedings. It probably my least favorite application to use. I set u…

For kicks, I deployed the same app on Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 2008 R2 micro instances on AWS. I chose the plain Windows instance - with no software ( ie, IIS & .NET) pre installed…

RoR is definitely more of a full web stack than ASP.NET MVC, which to me feels like a micro framework layered over top of whatever in the the world ASP.NET is. Personally, I like A…

They can't afford to do otherwise. Accepting community contributions will increase the MS surface area for copyright/patent infringements. The F# team is mostly a research outfit -…

The newer projects on the MS backed OuterCurve.org (formerly Codeplex.org) all use either an Apache or BSD license. I suspect two reasons for MS accepting the Apache, BSD, and MIT …

Does Google actually have a claim under the Tucker Act? Some quick searching limits claimants to those who have an actual contract. http://topics.law.cornell.edu/wex/tucker_act EDI…

Looks like C# is borrowing even more from the F# playbook. Though from the looks of it, I still like the F# implementation better. Next in C#: workflows ( aka F# monads ). I really…

If you don't have Silverlight installed or have no desire to install it, I hate to say it, but: this keynote probably isn't in your wheelhouse. That not withstanding, the quality o…

This is a great list and a must read for anyone doing WP7 development. In my opinion, you will always be better off using the bare minimum amount of XAML. XAML is completely unnece…

Regarding scraping: I have a hard time figuring out what the difference is between having a human read a web page with sports scores on it, and then entering those scores in to you…

I have a site using Flask on GAE, and it works pretty well. Here's a reference to get started. http://www.franciscosouza.net/2010/08/flying-with-flask-in-g...
