    As you all know.. my site went down last saturday... and so came keith digging his code archive, backups and cd's for atleast a strain of his lost and futile website... which he wasn't able to find.

  • My Not-So Generic Repeater Control

    The Repeater control is probably the most over used control in the company that i currently work for. Almost every grid and listing has been built using this and i has made me nuts when i first started using it since i consider myself a Datagrid or a DataList guy. One of the things I hate about it is that usually, people try to format everything in a way that the Visual Studio.NET IDE barks, squels and cry. Adding those pesky all over the code which makes the page resemble an old ASP page that any developer who has thrown those coding style into the trash bin have nightmares and gloom scapes all over their nightly pundit rest. And since I am a good employee who follows strict coding guidelines and comply with it with utmost care.... i decided to embrace it rather than to do a holy war against this control. But i need to do something to make my life easier. ...

  • DevConversations Episode 4: Jammin' with Jared Odulio with a cup of Java

    This started as a friendly call just to say hi to person i consider a guru when it comes to java... it quickly turned into a full-blown-powerpacked-hardhitting-knowledgedfilled interview about the future and the technologies we live with. Jared Odulio has been a fixture in the Filipino community for many years now and has been actively advocating the use of opensource in enterprise applications.

Why he prefers eclipse over the netbeans. The java frameworks that he use and whats the advantage of WebWorks over Struts.Why touchtyping is an important skill in programming. Why some managers cant figure out why their IT projects fail. On the Build vs. Buy principle. Thoughts on where the Filipinos are right now in terms of IT compared to our conunterparts in the world. Why developers are scared of the console and learning how to use the console is important. Why knowing SQl is a must-have skill. His tips to people who are moving from Manila to Singapore and the things that they need to know first when you move to a new country. One of the intriguing thoughts that he talked about is why he thinks Java has an edge over Microsoft Technologies. His fearless prediction that in two years Java would eventually overtake .Net as the primary tool for development. ...
