Today is a big day with a really cool milestone for Tech Head Brothers website.
First I am able to publish/update content on the site with my new publishing tool; a word template using vsto 2005 and secured web services. This piece of code let me publish content with pictures, colorized source code, zip files for sample applictions and this directly out of Word 2003. Really cool!!!
First project about Team System is a book that I started with my friend Kader Yildirim. We had a first contact with one editor and were disapointed a bit because we were told that there is no 'market' for such a book. I really think that there is, because Team System is an awesome tool. Nevermind we will continue to search an editor. By the way if you are interested, please feel free to contact me. One side note, the book will be written in French.
The second project with my brother Mathieu is to update our website Tech Head Brothers to use ASP.NET 2. Currently Mathieu is located in Sydney, Australia and will soon move to Perth, Australia because he found a new job there. So to work on such condition we need really good tools to communicate, Groove Virtual Office, Skype and MSN Messenger. Ok with those tools we can have in real time discussions, share idea, even share documents in online/offline mode. But we missed a Software Development Lifecycle Tool (SDLC). At the time of the website version written in ASP.NET 1.0/1.1, we had tried several solutions from Visual SourceSafe over Internet, over VPN, then we moved to CVS because it was too slow. We also had Draco.NET...
This evening I continued my journey with the C# Generics. I refactored what I described in my post "DataAccessLayer.FindAll(PublishedBy(Author))" to be able to use the Design Pattern Interpreter.
