About a year ago we thought it would be a good idea to do a talk on "What not to do in ASP.NET?" - basically an anti-patterns talks. We kept seeing folks falling into the same traps and wanted to be prescriptive as there's aspects to ASP.NET that are 10 years old and don't apply to today's internet, but there are also new aspects to ASP.NET that are only a year old, and perhaps haven't soaked into the zeitgeist quite yet. Assuming ASP.NET is on your to-do list

Despite the meteoric start for iOS, slow-and-steady HTML5 might win the race for developers' hearts. Write once, work in most places FTW

What plans, if any, does new CEO Satya Nadella have for Microsoft’s collection of products like Silverlight and Groove that have no future?

The investment, confirmed in an interview by Foursquare Chief Executive Officer Dennis Crowley, is part of a funding round from late last year that valued New York-based Foursquare at more than $600 million, people with knowledge of the terms said in December.
You can put lipstick on a Windows Phone pig, but it's still a pig.

Hardly. Windows Phone is a distant third in the market, but in my opinion it's superior to the competition. Android is the real pig. I recently dumped mine (no more Google at all in my life) and got a Lumia 928. I only have minor fit-and-finish type complaints.

Fair enough. I've had it up to here with my Android phone, actually. It's not long for this world, and will die either by upgrade or by a rage-filled smash against the wall. Phone's choice.

I was getting the same way with mine.

What a joke! A Mac Mini is a real computer (even a workgroup server, if you want).

..or you can use the mobile phones and big screen TV you already have and put together equivalent functionality leaving - oh about $800 in the H&B[^] account?

..or even use an XBOX-1 with the Kinnect doing the fancy "camera follow the speaker" stuff, with the added advantage that there would be an Xbox in every conference room.

If you want to know why big tech companies act the way they do, follow the money. Based on the latest SEC filings, Apple's still a successful hardware company, and Google's still in the advertising business. Meanwhile, how's that "devices and services" shift working for Microsoft? Money goes in, money goes out. Can't explain that.

Standards-making is like sausage making. You need it, but it’s ugly. Yet the standards process is the necessary evil behind every technology we rely on. "Laws, like sausages, cease to inspire respect in proportion as we know how they are made."

A few years ago, the PC was the heart of digital living. Now it's just one of many devices -- and one Sony can live without. Sony sells computers? Oh wait, that's "Sony sells computers."

True. They did tend to try to price themselves at the high end of the market (usually without reason)

Wow. Tell us how you really feel, Joachim! Sour grapes, much?
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun

An alarmist report that's become a universal reference in discussion of development practices obscures a much less dire reality. Leaning toward success?

To celebrate the creative use of technology, Google wants one lucky developer artist to be a part of it. Google has teamed up with the Barbican, Europe’s largest multi-arts conference venue, in order to create a DevArt interactive gallery to be displayed at the Digital Revolution exhibition this summer.
The Medieval and Gothic artistic revolution, Renaissance, Baroque, Romanticism--is coding and technology the next revolution?
