This post was made on my wordpress blog on 05/06/2008 In these days I’m thinkng about the concept of “Achitecture” and “Architect”. Even now I’m experimenting what I’ve experienced for years about what the folks (in my country) thinks about that, and I’m, or better, I can be too confused.. I don’t want to fall here in discussions about what is an architect or what is and what makes an architecture because I thinks many good peolple talked about that (i.e. Arnon Rotem), I want just to post some thoughts about the fact generally people, in this job,...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 03/19/2008 Hi this morning I found an email with this notice: “ASP.NET MVC RELEASED”… In the firs time I found it a joke or something else which doesn’t matter, but the email continue with a link to the download page.

This post was made on my wordpress blog on 09/25/2007 Hi, now, while I've changed the project I'm working on, has been assigned to me a new, strange for myself, task: installing a new Team Foundation Server from scratch and migrating source control from VSS 2005 to Team Foundation. I can't hide I'm a bit worried about, 'cause I know It's not trivial task, I read all the planning and installation check lists, I saw a big area of work... I hope I can accomplish in a week, but I hope maybe less, I don't now, so know I...

This post was made on my wordpress blog on 08/08/2007 Now, after some "heavy" working-months I can go to my vacations!!

This post was made on my wordpress blog on 08/04/2007 Hi, I wish to start to post something about WCF, some useful content, someone could find my-blogged-practice trivial or something bad, but first I like to share contents, second this is my "little" way I found useful in my daily job. This time I wish to talk about Factories, exactly the factory I use to instantiate WCF services in clients. First let me know I don't really like VisualStudio generated proxies, I don't like the concept behind a generated proxy like this, my problem began with ASMX generated...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 08/01/2007 Hi, it's been a long very long time I have posted anything on my Blog.. and I'm really sad about that, but unfortunately I haven't so much time in the past 2 months!! In this past two months I'm working on a JAVA WEB project, we're using technologies like Struts, Hibernate 3.0, Spring, Oracle Database and Servlet container implementation. I'm not shy to say this is my "Really Complete First" project in JAVA, and I have to say the experience was and is too exiting in many aspects,...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 07/10/2007 Little little fact... Today I took my last certification exam MS 70-547 "PRO: Designing and Developing Web-Based Applications by Using the Microsoft .NET Framework". I had no time to prepare myself so well, but at the end it was good enough! Now I'm MCPD on Web Developing... next I'll do exams to became MCPD on Windows Applications and maybe even on Distribuited Solutions that's my favourite...even if it's based on Remoting and not on WCF! Ciao
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 07/07/2007 Hi, it's been a long I haven't written anything on my Blog, unfortunately, I haven't much time to do anything in this period, but I want to re-begin to write in my Blog.. Now, I'm really exited, I'm starting to do something with the new technlogies and tools that are in TOP of my learning and working curve.. I'm joking, I have to do a Course as a "Teacher" on WCF (but this, it's one year I'm working with WCF, it's not really new for me) and I...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 04/15/2008 Recently, no sorry, it's too much time, I saw online some discussions about using and the "best-practice-usage" of NHibernate in conjuction with WCF, and I saw so many thing about it I think someone has to say smething serious and real about this thread! I Think I'm not one voice which can say something about it as some people in the net could do, I know many names of peoples who can be a relevant voice better than me, (I'm really new in posting to blog!) But I...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 04/11/2008 Recently I was in fight with an ORACLE "issue" I found in my day-by-day coding activity. I was lucky to discover this "issue", after 2 hours spent in debugging, rewriting mappings, and some bad words I said to my computer, I found a solution and a post which was helpful for me. The situation: I was mapping a simple, usual, set of Entity Properties to a related set of ORACLE NUMBER columns with no precision info. These columns were updated by a Package Procedure. So, assuming Column1 and...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 04/10/2008 Hi, recently I read many requests about how to map an Oracle RAW() Type. About 2 months ago, I was one of the those who was asking for a solution, I really cannot believe how could be possible there is not a solution, so searching in the Net I found 3 kind of solution, then, I decided what was the better for me and so I've implemented in my project, let's begin. First of all, in general a RAW column data type describe a raw binary data, generally...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 03/29/2008 Hi, I want, with this post, start writing about NHibernate and the related world of development. I recently started developing and using NHibernate in some projects, and I found the first set of great functionalities offered by the framework, I said the first set because I know that we know just a little subset of all the functionalities of the framework, specially all of us coming from the .NET area of development. I've got the opportunity to use the framework in a project recently, I also used before...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 11/27/2007 Hi, I wish to do some post about some helpful, exciting and great tools I knew, discovered from the net, and from my job experience.

Today I want to start speaking about some well known technologies as: Javascript and AJAX (again! I wish I'm going to start speaking about much more!!). Some time ago...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 11/08/2008 Hi to everybody, it's so many time I wish to post here about a new idea, a new Application Framework I started as an Open Source project, the project name is Nuts Framework. The Idea behind is to build a set of tools and classes to build applications quickly, better, and with high modularization, loose coupling and more. The name, Nuts Framework, came in to my mind thinking about some famous framework, (Struts...) and thinking too a name could figure a simple, effective and strong framework. I...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 07/17/2007 Today I found a new product online, this could be very helpful and interesting, i noticed about it from a monthly newsletter, the product is a free-to-use UML Designer for Visual Studio, the tool is from the TangibleArchitect. It seems to be an ineteresting tool, even if few diagrams are implemented, but I wish to take a try and then write something more about. The product download can be found at: http://www.tangiblearchitect.net/modellingtools.html Ciao Technorati tags: Development,...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 07/13/2007 Yesterday night I was looking for some news from an open source project, accidentally I found 2 interesting tools, one from Microsoft and one from Businessware Architects. The one from Microsoft is the XSDObjectGen, a tool for gerating code, pure classes, from xsd Schemas. It's free to download at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=89e6b1e5-f66c-4a4d-933b-46222bb01eb0&displaylang=en The one from Businessware Architects is the CodeXS, a code generation tool who does the same as XSDObjectGen and XSD tools from Microsoft. The Only difference is that CodeXS is open source and more, efficient, modular... It's...
This post was made on my wordpress blog on 07/12/2007 Yesterday's evening I was navigating and writing some code, line after line, I took a tour on the SharpDevelop Web Site, I love that tool, in the past years frequently I took a tour in the source code, to learn, to see what has been done. So I went to the SharpDevelop Wiki and I found a wonderful online tool, a Code Converter. The tool is exposed as Web service and makes use of NRefactory to convert code. The link is http://codeconverter.sharpdevelop.net/Default.aspx here you can find: ...
