Restart

After an almost 10 year hiatus this little blog is being restarted with a new theme and hopefully new articles on their way. I’m getting deeper into web development areas this year and some of the new focus is on the Umbraco CMS and Aurelia Javascript framework.

I’m also planning on using the blog as a journal of some of my work and research so expect a few posts that are more of the short note, (professional) diary entry format.

Using Windows Vista, IIS 7.0 (IIS7), and Visual Studio 2005 Professional for ASP.NET development.

Every developer’s dream is to have a computer and development environment that just works, where you can focus on getting your job done without having to deal with hardware and software configurations and everything that comes with that. You would much rather troubleshoot your own programs (for the joy of your customers) than having to debug Windows, Visual Studio, IIS, etc.

In the spirit of the statement above, I have posted an article on Koda Software’s web site that takes you through the initial required steps when you are about to set up your development environment on Windows Vista for ASP.NET development and debugging.

The article addresses IIS7 configuration issues, how to switch Visual Studio to use IIS7, and how to enable debugging of ASP.NET web sites. The document is available in the following formats:

Enjoy!

I am staying here…

I have been planning to incorporate my blog into the www.kodasoftware.com web site, but the way things are looking right now I have decided to keep my blog here for the time being.

The idea was to have a single cohesive web site for Koda Software and my own professional writing, nicely integrated using a blog-like look and feel.

The problem, of course, is that setting up a blog site with the appropriate look and feel, and having it match the rest of your web site, just takes too much time when you have customer projects to complete at the same time.

Until I again have some extra time to spare, I will continue to write here, while at the same time adding articles and other software development material to the Koda web site.
