Dave Burke : Freelance .NET Web Developer specializing in Online Communities

My coding + weblogging practice seems to have settled into going a number of days focusing on the work, then taking a night away from coding to post a few blogs on the experience.  In the meantime I'm reading other blogs and the ones which don't get deleted remain my reference list for things I want to review or to have ready access.  I'm calling this my .NET Undeleted Blogs Series.  If I don't get back to them as I would hope, at least I have spent the time to re-reference them here in a single location...

ASP.NET Weblogs: 10/14/03 - 10/17/03

• James Avery's .NET Nightly 32.  Didn't know there was a book on Attributes.
• ScottW on .text comments issues.  I thought it was cool Scott was proactive on letting users know about comments not showing up.
• Steve Presley:  Cool XSL tool...  Always in the market for a good XSL tool.
• Robert A. Wlodarczyk: Networking.  Chris Sells post ref.  While there, must check out  Chris' post on What is an RSS Feed  Can just forward this to anyone who asks.

• Frederic Gos.  Taking Flash to the limit?  I like to see innovative uses of flash.  Not that it has a direct impact on my app UIs, but you never know...
• Dan Bright.  Transcending the MCAD exams?  Transcender got me over the top on my final MCSD test on the Requirements and Solutions Architecture exam a couple years ago.  I will probably use it when I go back for my round of .NET exams.
• Roy Osherove. Microsoft PDC 2003 Sessions RSS feed? Oh yeah!  As Roy says, maybe they'll put ppt links inside the posts as well.
• S.B. Chatterjee.  Custom XML Schema Generator & Validator.  Like I said, always looking out for XML-related tools.

• Julia Lerman.  Running my .Network through another power outage.  Complete with pic of generator.  btw, while her husband sounds like he's too wonderful to be real, I met him.  Everything she said about him is true.  

Unofficial GotDotNet Main Feed: 10/15/03

• ERIC GUNNERSON.  XML Doc comments and include files...  "...So, we added an "include" syntax that lets you keep the docs in a separate file, which the compiler then reads to get the actual xml to use."
