We recently received the “Ask a geek” input showed above from one of our blog readers. Actually it’s not an ask a geek question but we decided to honor Max’s effort nonetheless and show our readers Max’s website which includes a lot of useful tools and information not only about Windows Mobile Development. Max decided to distribute all his applications as Freeware which we truly respect! The applications are allowed to be freely used, copied and distributed as long as it is not sold and all original files are included including his license. Check out his articles and applications.

CodePlex Foundation

Have you ever been thinking in one of your commercial projects of how one particular open source tool or frameworks could solve a lot of your problems but there were to many uncertainties in terms of licensing, compliance to your customers needs and law impediments etc.?

I think you have. Must people now tend to say go for Apache 2 license and you won’t have to worry to much because you have almost any rights to change and adapt the provided code (naively speaking). Recently the CodePlex Foundation was founded to bridge the gap between Open Source Projects and commercial closed source projects. Their goal is to bring together commercial software companies and open source communities. If you want to know more about the CodePlex Foundation I suggest you watch the video below or get a brief overview of what they are doing be reading their mission and governance statements.

Bill Wagner posted some nice thoughts about the CodePlex Foundation on his blog if you are looking for further information.

Monitor.Enter, Thread aborts and orphaned locks

September 9th, 2009

Back from holiday from an intense ten days of biking and partying on Mallorca Port Sollér and Cala Ratjada I found this exiting article about the problem of Monitor.Enter when the entering thread is aborted at the “wrong” position in the code. I think it’s worth reading the article because developers should be aware about this.

Joe Duffy’s Weblog – Monitor.Enter, thread aborts, and orphaned locks

and “The moth’s” interesting hint about the new forthcoming API changes in .NET 4.0 regarding the problem mentioned in the above article.

The Moth – .NET 4: Monitor.Enter replaced by Monitor.Enter

Zeit für etwas Werbung

prio.conference zum Thema User Interface am 28. und 29. Oktober 2009 in München

Frei nach dem Motto „Es gibt keine zweite Chance für einen ersten Eindruck“ widmet sich die prio.conference 2009 grundsätzlich dem Aushängeschild jeder Anwendung:

User Interface

Auf der prio.conference 2009 am 28. und 29. Oktober in München erfahren Sie in rund 30 Sessions worauf bei der technischen Architektur und dem Design der Oberfläche zu achten ist. Lernen Sie, welche Technologien sich für welchen Einsatzzweck anbieten. Muss es beispielsweise unbedingt ASP.NET sein, wenn ein Programm über das Web bedient wird, oder kann auch eine WPF-Anwendung die Bedienung vereinfachen?

Holen Sie sich auf der prio.conference 2009 Expertenwissen aus erster Hand, damit Ihre Software künftig noch besser bedienbar ist. Denn nicht vergessen: Sie schreiben Programme in den meisten Fällen für Menschen. Und die sollten mit Ihrer Software auch umgehen können.

Alle weiteren Informationen wie das Programm, Referenten, Anreise und vieles mehr erhalten Sie unter http://www.prioconference.de.
