Since I am a certified ASP .Net 3.5 professional, I started looking for jobs in this area – but almost anyone associated ASP with SharePoint. Since I didn’t had any clue about SharePoint, I enjoyed very much the opportunity to take part in a technical workshop on this theme.

As part of the Microsoft Student Partners I was invited to take part yet again from a Social Media Reporting team. This time is the CeBIT, a huge conference about consumer electronics. We arrived yesterday, on 2nd of March, to prepare ourselves for the challenge. In the morning we just scouted the area, looking for interesting places to blog, tweet and make movies about. If you haven’t been to CeBIT, you should understand that it is really HUGE – there are around 30 big display areas in which you can be lost without a map. There were a lot of […]
I am a certified SQL 2005 Technology Specialist. While this means a lot from a professional point of view, the new technologies come toward us, developers, too fast sometimes. It is quite a while since SQL 2008 was launched, and now SQL 2008 R2 brings its novelties. One good developer must keep up to date with its skills, otherwise the quality and quantity of his or hers work will suffer. New technologies means usually more productive developers – and I wish to stay on the wave instead under it.
I am Microsoft Certified since 2006, Technology Specialist in SQL 2005 and Business Management Solution Specialist in Microsoft Dynamics. Thus, I already own an Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) ID. Recently I’ve passed the ASP.Net 3.5 Certification exam and the Certification center sent me a link to activate my Microsoft Certified Professional program. This also implies that you’ll get a new MCP ID. Here I explain how one can consolidate all its MCP IDs.
Today I had the pleasure to make the first step in Microsoft Student Partners organization (West Germany branch). So I applied by sending to Microsoft Student Partners enrollment e-mail address a cover letter, my cv and a short description. After a while, I got a call from Anton Schweizer, Senior Student Partner, and I was invited to an interview.
Windows Live Writer is one of the most popular blog authoring tool that I also happen to like and use because of its features – I especially enjoy the Preview tab. But it has a drawback - no Syntax Highlighting of my code! Let me tell you how I solved this issue.
The User Experience that a library provides must be at least equal with is quality and speed. And frankly, CSVtoLINQ rocks on latest two, but lacks a little on the User Experience(in our case Developer Experience) by not having some events of starting, progress and ending of the parsing.
The most challenging query for me by now is the grouping of data based on two columns from a table. Let’s assume that we have a table that contains some users that share books. The question is: how do we count how many books that the users share to another one, grouped on user pairs?
Assume that you have an plain text, old Comma Separated Values file filled with your precious export from a legacy system. How can you process it easily now? The first answer that is worth considering is parse it to LINQ, the language-integrated query, which is a collection of extensions to the .NET Framework that encompass language-integrated query, set, and transform operations.
When I started working with Novensys, the first challenge appeared: being the first company that implemented Navision in Romania, they were exigent from the employment process. They also offered specialization classes in Microsoft Navision product, so I and the rest of the team were trained by with a Microsoft Navision specialist for two weeks.
It is very nice and user-friendly to have Webslices on your website. It improves the user experience by allowing visitors to be up to date with the latest content that you provide, assuming that it is fitted to this presentation style
Webslice is a chunk of information, allowing you to stay up-to-date with the latest news without actually needing open a website. For example, my website provides a webslice for BNR exchange rates, allowing you to keep up with latest information available.
