Third Year in a Row
Third Year in a Row Yesterday I received the mail from Microsoft that congratulate me for being a Microsoft MVP for the third time. It’s is a honor for me to get the award three years in a row. This time the receiving of the mail was somewhat weird since I saw on Twitter that people got the mail and I didn’t get it… Apparently, my Gmail mail account (which is my personal mail account) “thought” that the congratulation mail is spam and moved it into the spam directory. This of course shows the true...
Father for the Third Time
Father for the Third Time I was asked why is my Blog so lonely lately. This is not because I have a writing block…  The answer is in the following pictures: Three weeks ago Noya, my first daughter, was born and I’m busy with diapers instead of writing lines of code. I will return writing soon so stay tuned! CodeProject

MIX11 Winning Open Call Sessions Were Announced
MIX11 Winning Open Call Sessions Were Announced The MIX11 Open Call phase is over and there are twelve winning sessions . My proposed sessions didn’t make it to the final twelve but this was a competition and the best sessions won. From the list of twelve sessions that won, I’ll defiantly attend  Elijah Manor’s “Good JavaScript Habits for C# Developers” session and Maarten Balliauw’s “Fun with ASP.NET MVC 3 and MEF” session (they got my vote while I was voting). I want to thank whoever vote...
MIX11 Open Call Voting Has Started Today
MIX11 Open Call Voting Has Started Today MIX conference is the biggest Microsoft web conference which occurs every year in Las Vegas. As in every year Microsoft asked the developers and designers communities to propose sessions that will be part of a community voting. The sessions that will be chosen will be performed on stage at this year’s conference. Since I’m going to MIX11 as in last year, I proposed two sessions and they were chosen to the open call voting. This is the session descriptions...
Teched Israel 2010 – Day One
Teched Israel 2010 – Day One Yesterday’s morning I had a flight to Eilat to my first Teched Israel. I arrived after noon so I missed Jason Zander’s keynotes … I wanted to attend this session but my flight schedule was at noon. I thought I’ll make it but the flight got a delay (and oops you miss the show)… After I’ve checked-in in my hotel and checked-in in the presenters check-in place, I had a free afternoon so I jumped to the royal suite in the Royal Beach hotel. If you are one of the lucky VIPs...
Improving Your Developer Skills
Improving Your Developer Skills I’ve been asked twice this week by two different colleagues from where to start in order to improve yourself as a developer. This question is very tricky and probably you’ll hear a different answer from every person you ask it. Also, in reality the “recipes” you get won’t necessary work for every person but they can be guidelines for improvement. This is a short version of my recipe and what I told my colleagues. Read Books This is an important thing to do when you...
My Teched Session (or Why I’m Not Blogging Lately)
My Teched Session (or Why I’m Not Blogging Lately) If you are a reader of my blog probably you have noticed that I didn’t write posts for a while. The reason is obvious… I’m getting ready for my Teched session. My coming session isn’t going to be an introduction to Entity Framework . This time I’m going to talk about considerations and approaches for building N-Tier applications with Entity Framework . I wrote a teaser Hebrew article about the subject which was published in Newsgeek and you can read...
Microsoft MVP for the Second Time
Microsoft MVP for the Second Time A few minutes ago I got the mail from Microsoft that informed me that I’m a Microsoft MVP for the second time. The mail is written as follows: “Congratulations! We are pleased to present you with the 2010 Microsoft® MVP Award! This award is given to exceptional technical community leaders who actively share their high quality, real world expertise with others. We appreciate your outstanding contributions in Data Platform Development technical communities during the...
Why I Became a .Net Developer?
Why I Became a .Net Developer? I’m being asked from time to time why I’ve chosen to work with .Net framework and in Microsoft world. Today I got that question again so I thought it will be nice to share the answer with my Blog readers. In my early days when I was a computer science student I started my first steps in development world with the Java language. At the end of my first year I took a summer course in .Net in order to learn what it was all about. To tell the truth, I wasn’t impressed by...
The Customer is Always Right
The Customer is Always Right One part of my job is consulting in a lot of .Net development areas. One of the annoying things that you have when you are technology consultant is that customers think that they can demand from you almost everything (even things that aren’t part of your job role). The problem with these thoughts is that if you don’t give them the things they want they can go to your boss and complain. That means that you’ll have to answer to whoever is paying your salary about things...
My Article on This Week On Channel 9 Show
My Article on This Week On Channel 9 Show I got an email yesterday from Guy Burstein that pointed me to the “ This week On Channel 9 ” show which includes a reference to one of the articles I published in The Code Project site. The article “ How To Use Unity Container In ASP.NET MVC Framework ” explains how to use Unity IoC container inside an ASP.NET MVC application. You can see the show here . They mention the article about 09:28 minutes after the show starts. Very flattering. CodeProject
