How often have you found yourself in a situation where you have been troubled about the design of a function?
Personally, I would say, frequently. You can never be to sure if something will work and usability for me is one of the most important things.

Wow - a response from Telerik
From Fat Agnus, 11 months ago,
0 comments
Apparently Telerik read my article about me not liking their product so much and they toke the time to write to me, because they wanted to know more – I’m really impressed by that sort of commitment, even though I don’t like their products (you could learn something from this ComponentArt ;)).
In the article [...]

From Fat Agnus, 11 months ago,
0 comments
If you have been a .NET developer for a while then you have probably heard about companies like Telerik and ComponentArt. Both of the companies sell .NET controls that seemingly make it easy to get Ajax functionality implemented into your applications.
I have had the “pleasure” of working with controls from both of the companies and [...]

Thinking about using Goto, think again.
From Fat Agnus, 1 year ago,

The title might be a little bit provocative to some, since the statement is highly depending on what language you are using. The once I like to address are the modern languages like C#, Java, C++, Visual Basic and even Ruby (just little reminder to one of my friends) and even then, it will still [...]

0 comments
When I got into the whole Asp.Net thing, I thought it was pretty nice with all the controls that you could drag’n drop. When I got a bit further into it, I started to get annoyed with how the model works, the complex page lifecycle, the Viewstate and how easy it was to write smelly [...]

Over the last 2 months I have been quite busy at my new job, where I’m trying to raise the quality of code (just to mention one thing) - not only with our own code, but also with 3rdparty web applications that we have bought.

Usually Douglas Crockford talk about JavaScript, but this time he talks about the process of Software Development and the issues on why projects run late and so on.
Programmers have to be optimists, because if you are not an optimist, then I just don’t believe that you can do this job. When you are looking into [...]

One of the more annoying things when doing web designs is the fact not every browser seems to have the same default values for all the html elements. This can potentially wreck your design in some browsers and trying to fix a design for one browser were is looks bad, can probably lead to a [...]
