My world-wide book announcement Wrox Press releases Visual C++ .NET: a primer for C++ developers Visual C++ .NET is the only language that's capable of mixing managed and unmanaged code, offering ways to integrate your existing code base with new .NET development that no other language can match. Additionally, the expansion of ATL into web application programming brings with it the possibility of writing web services that outperform anything developed in ASP.NET. Mar 26, 2002. 10:14:26 PM

With all the clamor around C#, a lot of people forget that Managed C++ is the only .NET language that allows you to mix managed and unmanaged code in the same assembly and even the same file! While C# is the media darling, MC++ is  the real workhorse for many companies that have thousands of lines of existing native C++. It's good to see an article here.

This morning I changed my 2 year opinion on this and decided I may start contributing to Mono. Why? Well, one great reason is the Miguel is a brilliant example of civility on the .NET list. When I answered one of his questions, he thanked me *personally*. That's class. And there ain't much of that to go around in the Engineering world. I'm not big on Linux. I think you might all know that-). I still think its only for total geeks who want to rebuild the kernel every single time they add a device or sneeze. But I am big on .NET. So, I may be on board. 8:13:29 AM

DIME: Sending Binary Data with Your SOAP Messages There was a presentation, well a demo, well I'm not sure what it was with Keith Balinger http://www.keithba.com/blog/ and Don Box as his monkey on DIME at the Web Services DevCon. Funny moments came when Don stepped too far in the debugger into the .NET Core and exposed it and when Don let Keith go on while he flipped open my book and started reading my chapter -). Anyhow, here is an article on DIME.   8:08:55 AM
