@cowgaR:

There are a bunch of exported VS settings you can import from here:

RE: DimeCasts: Thank! It’s good to hear. I got very little feedback from that, so I wasn’t sure it was worth it. It helps to hear you say that.

RE: WebForms: Are you kidding? Hah! Yes, they’re VERY much alive and will be the dominant .NET web technology for the next few years, at least.

Hi Chad,

a little bit offtopic. Can you point me (?mail me? ;-) a Visual Studio Theme you are using? Is it modified Rob Connery’s one?

I saw it in your excellent DimeCast.net screencast, and since then fall in love with it ;P btw you are a great presenter, you should be doing more screencasts.

As to webforms, are they still alive? sadly, one must know them to pass MS exams, I wonder when this will change (I hate questions about viewstate mechanics) and will separate sheeps (webforms devs) from knowledgable internet developers (MVC).

We interviewed the man behind this blog for a job a few years ago. He was not hired…

I never said I didn’t disagree with him, I simply said I agreed with some of the things he said.

@asdf: Then don’t. There’s nothing in ASP.NET MVC that requires that.

Legacy ASP had logic in the view as well as markup.

its funny and all, but i’m not ready to start putting clunky C# code in my views, like asp.net MVC is using, feels like legacy asp all over again

The best part is actually the very end (if you made it that far):

And unless you make up your own opinion you risk end up thinking that “Britney Spears is such a great singer, she sings with such deep warm emotions”. And that would be sad…

Way to drive it home and convince people to think for themselves by taking something that IS subjective (technically…) and telling them they would be stupid to not agree with you…

The really good part is that the guy apparently sells an AJAX toolkit, and welcomes me by saying I’m using a broken browser (IE7). I usually use Firefox, but happened to be using IE.

I sure trust javascript/AJAX developers who don’t support IE to have a solid understanding of technology.. Cheezz….

@mbratton you have no problems with the outright falsehoods and baltant misrepresentations in his post?

What about the false positioning of authority by throwing around terms like “LSP”?
