The Key To Adopting Agile Methods
Peter Provost
writes "The most interesting thing about this to me is that the agile manifesto guys got it right. They quite clearly recognized that this thing is about culture and values and is not about specific techniques or tools. And then almost every one of them went off and wrote a book or a tool that talk about the techniques and not about how to change people’s values.
So, that is what we need. We need a book that tells us how to...

VB or C#? ASMX or WCF? WinForms or WPF? Ruby or Iron Python??????
Rob Windsor
writes "Questions, questions, questions. I know the new technology I'm seeing here at TechEd is going to lead to a bunch of questions in the form of: Should I use X or Y?
We have some leagcy questions:
Should I use VB or C#?
Should I use Business Objects or DataSets?
Should I build Windows apps or Web sites?
With the emerging technologies shown here at TechEd these questions get more complex and new questions emerge:

The Trouble With Twos
Steve Dispensa
writes "This applies to programming, believe it or not. The same poorly-wired part of my brain that confuses the names of slashes and of people also confuses the names of variables in my code. The solution is easy: I have a fairly rigid naming scheme that I try to stick to when I code. That way, I can remember names. The downside is that it tends to generate"
On CodePlex with Jim Newkirk
Michael Ruminer
writes "During Tech-Ed I have had the fortunate time to grab a bit of Korby Parnell and Jim Newkirk's time to ask them about CodePlex. I had seen Jim ask via his blog for feedback at Tech-Ed about CodePlex. The general responses were not necessarily the most helpful. Most pointed out that they really didn't have enough access or volume yet on CodePlex to make any sort of judgment.
That seems like a ...

Software Architect or Business Analyst: Who Really Does What?
Nicklas Andersson
writes "...The problem I run into in real life is that for the architect to be able to design a good solution he really needs to understand the business requirements, but he might not be the person who is best suited for eliciting those requirements. The business analyst, on the other hand, rarely knows ..."

Important changes in NLS that span Windows and the .NET Framework
Michael Kaplan
writes "If you follow Shawn Steele's blog you will have seen these already, but if you don't and you care about globalization support in Windows or the .Net Framework you will want to take a look:
Internet Explorer has more explicit language names in Windows Vista
Change in .Net Framework Culture Names for Windows Vista
There is a lot to grok in there, particularly the second one where backcompat runs headlong into working with standards and also working with a community that had been going in a..."
LINQ Conversation Continued...
Jonathan Bruce
writes "...3 years however, is a long time in software - now that we have LINQ the game is clearly afoot, and the original goals we set fo JDBC 4.0 seem limited at best. I suspect many will react citing it is not fair to compare the two, as clearly LINQ is vastly more ambitious. However, in many respects JDBC is and will remain the linch pin of Java data access (although XQJ will see increasing interest) , it does not seem unreasonable to me to look first at JDBC for a response to LINQ's disruptive influence...
