Yes, I realize it’s been a while. I tried in vain to catch up with my blog reading
after my Hawaii vacation and finally just gave up and hit “mark all as read”.
Dynamic Languages
-
There's a new version of the DLR hosting spec available (doc, pdf).
The DLR implementation is still in motion, so there are some inconsistencies between
the spec and the code, but the spec should give you the high level overview you need
if you want to host DLR languages inside your app.
-
Oleg Tkachenko recently joined
the dynamic languages team. He's the creator of the Interactive
IronRuby Web Shell, an IronRuby version of Try
Ruby. Of course, it’s not as cool as using SL2to execute the code directly in
the browser. Michael Foord has his Python
in the Browser and my teammates John and Jimmy demoed a Silverlight version of
Try Ruby @ TechEd.
-
Jim Deville, also of the dynamic languages team, recently started blogging.
-
I have a new boss, Dave Remy. He doesn't have a blog - yet - but you can follow him
on Twitter as daveremy. When Twitter is actually working that is.
-
There's a new homepage/wiki for IronRuby though
I’m not sure why there's a picture of Matz wearing a Python shirt on the home page.
-
My teammate Jimmy Schementi provides
some "continued hope" for a better (heck, I'll take current) ASP.NET and ASP.NET
MVC story for DLR languages.
-
Via Michael Foord, sounds like IronClad is
making good progress. V0.4 can run the bz2 module "in its entirity" (maybe run a spellcheck
on your site, guys?) and now apparently,
it's now able to load numpy.core. Very exciting!
Other Stuff
-
Pat Helland, who has blogged even less than me for the past few months, has a post
up about controller
and doers in the IT department. After 18 months in MSIT, put me in the doer camp,
please.
-
The F# team has pushed out a spec
for v1.9.4 of the language. Don Syme says it's
not official, but it's a huge improvement over the old
informal spec
-
Speaking of F#, my friend Matthew Podwysocki recently
published FsTest, a testing DSL for F#. I wrote
about F# unit testing as part of my PEG
parsing series, and I really like the direction Matthew has taken this project.
You can pull it down from CodePlex.
-
When I did my PEG
talk @ Lang.NET, Gilad Bracha mentioned
I should check out oMeta. It looks
really cool, though with the job change I haven’t had the time to play with it. Now
I discover that Jeff Moser is working on a
version for CLR called oMeta# that
I’ve got to spend some time with. And in the comments to that post, I discovered pyMeta from Allen
Short, though it apparently
doesn’t work on IronPython (must investigate why).
-
James Kovacs introduces
psake, a PowerShell based build automation tool which uses a rake-inspired internal
DSL syntax similar to one I
blogged last year. I'd love to see this take off, but given MSBuild's tool integration,
I wonder if that's feasible.
-
I upgraded
my home wireless network almost exactly a year ago. I've been happy with the range
and coverage, but not so happy with the Buffalo Tech firmware. The built-in DHCP server
is pretty flaky. So I upgraded to the open-source Tomato
firmware. Upgrade was smooth, though I did need to reset my cable modem. But even
that was smooth - Comcast has an automated service for that now,

Here are the latest tools for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS 3.0) for developers using Visual Studio 2008. This is version 1.2 of the tools (Version 1.1 of the tools released about a month earlier).
Here’s the overview:
Tools for developing custom SharePoint applications: Visual Studio project templates for Web Parts, site definitions, and list definitions; and a stand-alone utility program, the SharePoint Solution Generator.
The User Guide for this tool can be found here:...
