Web 2.0 - SuiteTwo Debuts By Kevin Hoffman Anyway, I think this is a
pretty slick idea. A
company new to the whole
'Web 2.0' thing can
simply go to Intel, get
their shiny 'Web 2.0'
box, and get off the
ground. At least that's
the partyline. The key to
Web 2.0 isn't the
technology enabling it,
its the peopl... Jun. 2, 2007 05:45 PM Reads: 10,357 | Cocoa - Exploring the
Delegate Design Pattern By Kevin Hoffman When I first started
learning Cocoa I ran
across a design pattern
that I had seen
implemented a few times
before but I had yet to
see it labelled with a
name. This pattern is
called the Delegate
design pattern. Coming
from C#, I found this
initially confusing
be... May. 15, 2007 05:15 PM Reads: 8,086 Replies: 1 | Orcas' Hidden Gem - The
Managed PNRP Stack By Kevin Hoffman Lately there's been a lot
of buzz about Orcas. You
keep hearing about
Silverlight and the
Entity Framework and
Jasper and Astoria and
who knows how many other
code names. One of the
things that you don't
hear about is PNRP. Why?
I haven't the faintest
idea because... May. 12, 2007 12:45 PM Reads: 6,829 Replies: 3 | Silverlight v1.0 Beta vs.
Silverlight 1.1 Alpha -
Huh?? By Kevin Hoffman The short of the story is
that Silverlight 1.0
applications don't
support code-behind, they
don't support making
plain XML calls back to a
web service (despite some
other people's claims to
the contrary, 1.0 will
not let you do this!),
and there is no real
two-way... May. 2, 2007 11:15 AM Reads: 7,156 | Another Day Another
Codename - Astoria and
Jasper! By Kevin Hoffman Microsoft has been
getting a lot of press
lately. From the
announcement of their
decision to Open Source

Language Runtime (the
tool that powers the

announcement that the

Without a Visual
Designer? Microsoft By Kevin Hoffman I'm sure this is old news
to pretty much everybody,
but I just wanted to take
a minute to post my
feelings on this subject.
According to multiple
sources, including one
blog post (and associated
comments), the designer
for the Entity Data Model
will not ship with th... Apr. 24, 2007 04:45 PM Reads: 6,124 Replies: 1 | Core Data - Almost Too

called themselves '4GL'

the New Model for Vista? By Kevin Hoffman What people should be
striving for is the happy
middle point, not one of
the extremes. We
shouldn't be throwing
crap out the door and
then hoping to just patch
it later (what if your
patcher is crap??), but
on the other extreme, we
shouldn't have 3-year

Applications By Kevin Hoffman So, this fantastically
modern new operating
system that is designed
to provide us all with
the ultimate in gaming
experiences isn't worth

What Web 3.0 Might Be
Like? By Kevin Hoffman The current rage is all
about community building
and social software,
especially using the
Internet (I refuse to
call it the web) as the
backbone for such
community building. I
think devices like the
Wii represent the next
step in social software.

SharePoint 2007 Features By Kevin Hoffman  I have been guilty of
underestimating the power
of Features. It wasn't
really until I started
digging deep into the
bowels of the new

that I finally started to
realize how pervasive
this stuff is. At first

Workflow to Script Enemy
Behavior By Kevin Hoffman If you have read enough
of my blog entries, you
know that when I
encounter a new
technology, the first
thing I ask is, 'That's
great, but can I game
with it?'. The answer to

in AJAX-ified
applications has actually
waned quite a bit. Lately
I've been so assaulted by

Redeeming Qualities By Kevin Hoffman The first, and my
favorite, redeeming
quality about Windows
Vista is the File

new feature allows me to
