Eight Simple Tips To Improve Your Presentation Skills

Sun, 18 May 2008 20:46:02 GMT

Recently, a user group held a conference whose subject was Domain-Driven Design with nHibernate. Now, this is a really cool topic of discussion! So, I decided to attend the conference in order to improve my perspective and knowledge on the subject. Little did I know that the speaker was an introverted programmer who greatly lacked in public speaking skills. Many people, including myself, left early, as the presentation became unbearably tedious and awkward.

Creating Namespaces Within Your JavaScript

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 00:51:50 GMT

Have you ever worked on a project that had a ton of Javascript in it? Not only that, but let me add that the project also made no good use of a Javascript framework.

Sometimes it is hard to judge if you are re-defining a function or not. This can get quite hairy, especially without the use of a tool that supports Javascript intellisense such as Visual Studio 2008. If you have been through these pains much as I have, then here is your saving grace.
