VB.NET Link Round-Up for 6/26/07

July 26th, 2007

Here are some links to some useful articles and blog posts I’ve ran across recently.

On his new blog VBDudes, Dylan C decided to test out my Reverse String function against a looping method. My version won his test. I would also suggest he try the same function with String.Concat and StringBuilder to see how they perform.

At CodeGuru, Paul Kimmel has a good article called Process is Irrelevant. He makes a very good point, “Knowledge, flexibility, and the discretion of smart individuals beats a one-size fits all rule book any day.”

Paul has another good article over at DevSource from a couple of weeks ago entitled Cigars, Lambda Expressions, and .NET. If you’ve wondered about what Lambda expressions will mean to you in VB 2008, check out this article where he explains them well with examples.

Over at Panopticon Central Paul Vick tells us what’s going to be in and not in VB 2008 in this article: What’s in VB 2008? What’s out? While it looks like several good improvements are being made, it also looks like VB will once again get the shaft vs. C# since he says, “In the end, the schedule for VS 2008 was not sufficient to implement these features with a high degree of confidence. Which unfortunately means that they will have to wait to a release beyond VS 2008.” I find this disturbing since with VB 2005 things had more or less evened out.

If you know of any VB related links that I should check out, please leave me a comment.

EDIT: D’oh!!! I can’t believe I got the date wrong in the title! Oh, well.
