The #reflector licensing debacle
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/06
Earlier this week, Red Gate announced that the new Reflector version 7 would cost USD 35, as of March 2011, and the current free version 6.6 will expire on May 30th, 2011.
That caused a lot of stir, on their forum, twitter, reddit and a lot of other places. Even an old thread at StackOverflow got a new boost. It seems Red Gate did not read Social media judo: How to turn a fight into a brand-building moment.
Here is a summary of the past, present and future of things happening around reflector, including some workarounds and alternative products.
First a bit of history.
Lutz Roeder over the years developed .NET Reflector as a free tool. A few hightlights: Read the rest of this entry »

Windows Azure platform 30 day pass – not only for USA people
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/03
A lot of places mentioned that Microsoft is offering a Windows Azure platform 30 day pass for USA people.
But visiting the Windows Azure platform 30 day pass link includes an extensive country list.
So it looks like non USA people can make use of it too.

No need to elaborate:
Reading code is way much harder than writing code. So please write readable code.

If you have an account on SourceForge.net, then you need to reset your password now
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/01/31
If you have an account on SourceForge.net, then now you need to reset your password by visiting https://sourceforge.net/account/registration/recover.php.
SourceForge.net was attacked recently (the whole story is on exploit-DB), so they are requesting everyone to reset their passwords.
I got a mail about it last weekend, and their blog now contains this message: Read the rest of this entry »

Formatted sourcecode in WordPress: uses SyntaxHighlighter 3.0; complete list of supported languages
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/01/18
In the past I wrote a few blog posts on posting sourcecode in WordPress.
Nick Hodges‘ last Flotsam and Jetsam blog post pointed me to the SyntaxHighlighter JavaScript that is used by WordPress and many other engines/sites.
Their site contains an even more elaborate list of supported languages.
I had the basic list right in my last post, but was missing all the aliases (which often are easier than the longer proper names).
This is the new table adapted from their list: Read the rest of this entry »

Generate XSD from XML – XSD.EXE versus on-line tools
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/11/23
Quite a while ago, I wrote about the XSD.EXE tool to generate wrapper classes from an XSD file.
Recently, I had to create an XSD based on some XML.
Actually: a client was implementing a tool, that could export some of the data as XML.
That XML had to go into their database.
But the tool vendor told the client that the underlying XSD was ‘not supported’ (odd: why allow exporting XML and then not provide something supporting as the XSD?).
Anyway, the data was not that difficult, but having an XSD at hand made the import process a lot easier.
So lets see how to get a starting XSD from an of XML files (in practice, you would do this with a couple of XML files, then collect the best pieces into your final XSD). Read the rest of this entry »

Free ebook: Programming Windows Phone 7, by Charles Petzold – Microsoft Press – Site Home – MSDN Blogs
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/11/10
If you want to do Windows Phone 7 development, then get this book: Programming Windows Phone 7 by Charles Petzod.
The eBook and source code are free:
This book is a gift from the Windows Phone 7 team at Microsoft to the programming community, and I am proud to have been a part of it. Within the pages that follow, I show you the basics of writing applications for Windows Phone 7 using the C# programming language with the Silverlight and XNA 2D frameworks.
Yes, Programming Windows Phone 7 is truly a free download, but for those readers who still love paper—as I certainly do—this book will also be available (for sale)
In addition to C# and VB.NET, you can also do this in Delphi Prism.
Cool times ahead, because now there are 4 major competitors (in no particular order):
- iPhone
- Android
- Windows Phone 7
- Symbian
I left out the competitors of the past, as they soon will be deprecated.
