Develop With Passion

Nothin But .Net Store (Google Code) Breaking Change

I just upgraded the project to a VS2008 project and am now starting to demonstrate (and will continue to do so in the new year) how to integrate some of the new language features.

This means that if you don’t have .Net 3.5 installed on your machine you will not longer be able to run the NAnt build. Furthermore, if you do not have VS2008 on your machine you will not be able to open the solution.

Sorry!!

Develop with Passion!!

First, there were the ALT.Net and the not-ALT.Net, now there are "those who have Visual Studio 2008" and those who dont. So, now , if i have to learn something from you JP i have to wait till i have VS 2008. Great going !

How about changing that "Develop with passion" to "Develop with the latest greatest or get lost"

@Kyle: No Kyle, it wasnt. Not everyone access to VS 2008 right now. So switching to VS 2008 format so quick wasnt the best thing to do. I have VS 2005. Why should i (and others like me) not be able to participate/learn just because of this? Now lets see someone of the size of Microsoft could listen to feedback and implement their version ASP.Net MVC, will JP listen to me (and hopefully others as well) and do something for us.

@Vineet,

Could you use Visual Studio 2008 Expression Edition? Personally I have not tried. I am not sure. Worst case, you can open the class with Notepad or anything similar. JP is trying to teach the "core" design. Even you cannot make the application up and running, it still is very helpful. Don't you think so?

@Vineet: I wasn't referring to your disappointment. I was referring to the tone with which you registered it. If you were paying for JP's advice or if he had broken some written or even unwritten rule, I could understand why you would be so sarcastic and bitter.

But you aren't and he hasn't and instead of making a modest request, you make some misguided reference to alt.net, then berate him for wanting to teach new language features? It requires a whole lot of gall to chastise someone for the content of his (free) sample code. Especially when, as Liang said, there are express editions available.
