Scott Hanselman has posted a
long list of ASP.NET interview questions. Quite humbling for myself. I didn't know about 25% of them. I have some reading to do.
Here is the list
VS.NET 03 is driving me NUTS!!! When I create a new ASP.NET user control and drop it on a web form, for some strange reason, it doesn't add the 'protected user.control.namespace.cont... uControl' declaration to the web form's Code Behind file. I have uninstalled and re-installed VS.NET and created a blank project to test if there was something about that particular project that was causing the screw-up, all to no avail. The last thing to do is format my hard drive and re-install everything. ......

There are bad programmers every where. I know of a few. When comparing ......

I am sure this will be popular but I am suprised Yahoo! beat Google to the punch. Can Google do anything wrong?
Well, in fact, Yahoo! may not have beat them after all. There is a link in the Google Labs section for video. I love competition.
What an outstanding book!!!! If you have not read it, you should do so immediately. Here is Amazon's link. The author is Michael Cusumano (also the author of Microsoft Secrets). Chapter 2: Strategy for Software Companies: What to think about, was so good, I read it three times. And chapter 4: Best Practices in Software Development: Beyond the Software Factory discusses some of the details of Netscape's fall (and it wasn't really Microsoft - if anyone else knows of any other independent sources of ......
