Link Round-Up for 8/1/07

August 1st, 2007

Here are some links to some useful articles, links and blog posts I came across this week.

At the 10 Things blog on Tech Republic Janice Ward has a good article entitled 10 things you should know about being a great IT manager. This article ties in well with my article series on Marine Corps Leadership Secrets.

If you like trying new things and have the patience for it to download, Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 can be downloaded from Microsoft. According to what the VS team is saying this is a feature complete and final beta release of the Codename Orcas Visual Studio. There should be a RTM version out by the end of the year and the actual release is scheduled for February 2008. If have a spare development system that you won’t mind wiping out later give it a try.

If you’re wondering what VS 2008 will look like so far as code editing goes, take a look at this entry on Scott Guthrie’s blog. He has some cool screen shots of how Intellisense will work in VS 2008. The examples include the powerful new LINQ functionality so check it out to get a heads up.

I found Rich Newman’s blog while I was searching around for some info on exception management. He has a good article on Top-level Exception Handling in Windows Forms Applications. I checked out the rest of his blog and he has some really good, in depth, highly technical articles that I recommend you read. While his focus is primarily on C# there is plenty of value for VB.NET programmers there as well.

That covers this week’s link round-up. If you have a blog or article that you think I should take a look at, please leave me a comment.
