A lot of people have asked about the second part of the Glenn Block interview, so here it is. Ok so it is a month late. A lot of stuff was happening in July (I will explain on another post. Lots of good stuff but it just put the podcast on hold for a bit)
In this podcast Glenn and Ryan dive more into REST. It is a great conversation. I felt like a fly on the wall, but it was a very lucky fly that learned a lot about REST. So enjoy.
Ryan and I had a awesome opportunity of having Glenn Block join us on a Skype call a couple of weeks ago. We wanted to have him on and talk about what he is currently doing and try to avoid the whole MEF topic (we did dive a bit into it, but not too deep).
So part 1, Glenn introduces himself and gives a history of his current move from MEF to WCF and his vision on what he hopes to do by joining the team.

This conversation centers around Robert Martin’s Rails presentation titled “25 Zeros”.

Part of the conversation dived into IDEs and Ryan sent me a link to Code Bubbles.

Ryan later references the SOLID article in CODE Magazine by Derick Bailey.

Ed is doing a fantastic job capturing the links and the topics from the Virtual Brown Bags but I think I will still throw some links up on my site.

Sharing my Visual Studio theme has been on my list of things to do for awhile now. When the site http://studiostyles.info/ came up, I immediately thought here is an easy way to share my color scheme.
I finally created my theme on the site: http://studiostyles.info/schemes/bearkat
Be sure to check it out!
For those who might like the colors but not the way I used them (and for me to remember what the colors are):
