During the week I had the opportunity to travel the country a bit, to learn a few Swedish words and to speak in a few occasions about ASP.NET MVC, IronRuby and some other technologies. But above all of that, I got to meet and talk with some incredible people! it was such an amazing experience!!! thanks to all of you (you guys know who you are), you made this week one of the best I’ve ever had. Well, yes. I know I titled this post a “wrap up” and you...

Spaghetti Hot Dog

Warning: this is NOT a technical post. At all. A few days ago I stumbled upon this picture: I can’t find the tweet I got it from so if you know its origin, please let me know and I’ll add it here! So I saw that and it hit me instantly – this is THE BEST IDEA EVER!!!!! I had to try it myself. And I’m proud to introduce…. my own Spaghetti Hot Dogs! Step 1 – Buy Cheap Spaghetti and Hot Dogs Step 2 – Boil the Hot Dogs a bit to Soften Them Step 3 – Insert Spaghetti Sticks into the Hot Dogs Step 5 – Boil...

The Winds of Change

Well, I left Sela (Thursday was my last day), my company for the last 7.5 months and I’m moving on to co-found CodeValue . Even though my time at Sela wasn’t that long, I learned so much and met so many incredibly smart people. It’s been a wonderful experience and I’d like to thank the people who made it such: Caro Segal, Dudu Bassa, Ishai Ram, Roy Nachmani, Elad Hanania, Avi Balaish, Gil Fink, Dovi Perla, Alex Golesh, Ido Flatow and many others! thank you all, it was great working with you! So what...

How Do I Convince My Boss?

I’ve been evangelizing IronRuby for quite a while now and during this time I have been asked this question numerous times. I’m sure anyone in the .NET community who’s trying to evangelize something that is a bit outside the standard toolset have run into this question as well. And I have no doubt it happens in other development environments too. It’s a worldwide problem we’re facing here! This is actually a good question. The guy/gal who asks it probably understands the benefits of the new technology...

Dell Fail

I understand it now, I’m just not lucky with gadgets. First it was my sound system that died on me and now my new and shiny laptop does its part in irritating me. This morning I found out that only a month after I received it, a part of the Dell logo that resides on the top cover of the computer fell off. This is how it looks like now: Now look, I don’t put things on my computer, I don’t throw it and I don’t scratch it. All I do is to put it in my bag and take it out of it. And it’s so upsetting...

I’m a Microsoft MVP!

I’ve just received an email from Microsoft saying I’m a new Microsoft MVP!!! The MVP award is officially in Visual C# but it is mainly for my IronRuby activities (there’s no specific IronRuby MVP award yet). I’d like to thank Sela , Guy Burshtein , IronRuby and you for helping me in the process of becoming a Microsoft MVP. I’m very excited and looking forward to MVPing! All the best, Shay.

Rock Stars Vs. Programming Stars

[Note: cross posted from IronShay.com ] Recently I thought about this comparison… In the programming world there is this level of people who are a kind of “celebrities” within the developer community - they’re widely known, they have thousands of readers of their blogs, they have thousands of followers on Twitter, they speak on public events in front of thousands of people around the world… All of that just screams for a comparison with the equivalent in the show biz world - rock stars! So… I’m proud...

A New Year, A New Beginning

2010! It’s a new year and the wind of change is in the air. This year is a big year for me – IronRuby Unleashed will be published (est. FEB 15th), another big project is coming (more details in a few weeks) and I changed jobs! In the last 4 years I worked at a startup named ActionBase . I learned a lot at this place and managed to work with various platforms – Office addins, WinForms, Silverlight and ASP.NET. After 4 years it was a time for a change and I decided to move on. Starting from 1/1/2010...

Developers Are The New Legends

During the last few years, the amount of written text and spoken word about the great change that is currently evolving, has tremendously increased. The main focus is always computers, which start taking more and more central part of our lives. Nowadays, via our computer we meet friends, we buy and sell stuff, we  manage companies, we watch videos, we pay our taxes and we can even enlarge our p**** (I’ve never tried that one though… hmmm…). But no one ever mentions the behind-the-scenes-hard...

Suicidal Programming

Hey you! yes, you! you’re sitting there, coding in your nice little chair with a few silly games surrounding you, think again! Your programming language has many integrated abilities to hurt you!
