Link Round-Up for 9/6/07

September 6th, 2007

Here are some interesting links I ran across this week.

First off, I had only vaguely heard of DZone before this week. After my 5 Elements of Style For Error Messages article got posted there I heard about it as a lot of new visitors to this site suddenly appeared. If you want to keep up with the latest software development blog posts you’ll want to check it out.

Over at BNet I found this article, 10 Overrated Business Books (and What to Read Instead). I particular like how it took on popular management books that some pointy haired bosses love to quote from, such as “Who Moved My Cheese” and Jack Welch & the G.E. Way, and pointed out exactly what was wrong with them.

At Lullabot Jeff Eaton has a nice article entitled Why not ASP.Net?. He does a good job of comparing and contrasting his previous .NET development work with his current work in Drupal/LAMP.

Last week I wrote this article, How To Conduct a VB.NET Job Interview, with a general outline I like for interviewing job candidates. If you’re looking for something with more specific questions, take a look at this article series by Adam Wolkov: .NET Interview Questions - Part 1 and .NET Interview Questions - Part 2. His interview is obviously geared toward C# programmers but there are several good general .NET questions you can use for a VB.NET interview.

If you feel the urge to incentivise a creative paradigm or leverage some synergy you should read this article on TechRepublic, 10 signs that you’re not cut out to be an IT manager. I think the article is supposed to be serious, I’m not quite sure though. It really sounded like a reverse blueprint to becoming a boss parody like Bill Lumbergh.

That’s all for this week. If you know of an article on VB.NET or general programming that I should be aware of, please leave me a comment or use the contact me button.
