Web Design Patterns

I’m Baaaaack!!

Monday, July 30th, 2001

Hey webreaderz! I’m back from a much-needed vacation, road-tripping across the eastern US up to Niagara Falls, Toronto, and points north. Canada rules, the people are great, and the Canadian side of the Falls just kicks pants off the American side.

Jodi and I took about 45 minutes of video footage, and 50 or so digital pics. Hopefully soon we’ll get them edited into a series of road-trip vignettes, available for download here on Redmonk.Net.

Joel on Software - Good Software Takes Ten Years. Get Used To It.

Friday, July 20th, 2001

Joel: “Make a ten year plan. Make sure you can survive for 10 years, because the software products that bring in a billion dollars a year all took that long. Don’t get too hung up on your version 1 and don’t think, for a minute, that you have any hope of reaching large markets with your first version. Good software, like wine, takes time.” Excellent read if you are in the business of creating software, or want to be.

.NET on OS X

Thursday, July 19th, 2001

Halcyon Software is bringing .NET to Mac OS X. They are actually converting Microsoft’s Intermediate Language (like Java’s bytecodes) to Java .class files or source code, and will be providing the complete ASP.NET (including ADO.NET and WebForms) later this year.
” Halcyon is currently working with selected customers on deploying ASP.NET projects to the OS X environment. It expects to move into a formal Beta in October 2001.” Cooool.
