Several suggestions were offered to me by readers when I was trying to decide how best to structure the Autumn of Agile screencast series. One of the challenges of this screencast series is that unlike the previous Summer of NHibernate series that focuses on just a single technology for its entire length, the Autumn of [...]

Its somewhat funny to me how the usual ‘knock’ against Open Source Software is the poor quality of the documentation that often accompanies it. “Why can’t we have professional quality, comprehensive documentation for these OSS projects just like the really solid, professional quality documentation that comes from — oh, I don’t know — Microsoft for [...]
