Learnings on software development http://www.taylor.se/reddit.html and Digg posted an article on the learnings from ten years of software development. May I add: 2.

When you are discussing features or effort or schedule with your customer, it makes sense if these are written as it allows you to archive the information and refer to it at a later point of time.

With learning to programming using the Dot Net framework, comes the question of getting a compiler, editor or an IDE. Microsoft has provided the framework SDK for free for anyone to install. But unfortunately this comes along with command-line tools like the raw compiler or the console based debugger. Agreed, Visual Studio 2005 is there. But, it does not justify the cost to just learn a new programming model. The alternatives? A few exists. SharpDevelop , an open source IDE is available for those who are interested in a true blue open sourced IDE. But it has many kinks th
