Another .NET WSH Looks pretty cool and is the first one I have seen that supports VB.NET 5:56:20 PM    comment []

Book Update Managed to find Programming in the .NET Enviroment and Pragmatic ADO.NET on Friday night :) I have read the appendixes of the first book in which folks talk about how they ported a language to .NET (Perl, Python, Scheme and Object Pascal are just a few of the examples). I found these very interesting to read as it has helped me learn how a language can be ported and what issues other folks have had in doing so. I do wonder now that MS research has proposed (and in some cases added to Rotor) constructs for dynamanic and functional languages how this will change, for the better I hope :) 5:43:08 PM    comment []

PHP for .NET Alan Knowles is looking to create a PHP compiler for .NET and thus far is getting pretty far. I'll be keeping my eye on this project and joining the effort should it go open source. Alan is looking for a job, how about it ActiveState? 5:34:07 PM    comment []
