I’ve been developing iPhone apps for the past 9 months using the recommended development tools, being Xcode, Interface Builder and the iPhone SDK. Being a C# .NET programmer didn’t make this easy: Objective-C is… weird and… primitive. Dealing with pointers after 10 years of focusing on problems instead of memory addresses is a slight culture [...]

Even before there was talk about ASP.NET MVC, there were a few open source MVC frameworks available for .NET. Among them, MonoRail was best known, but there was also ProMesh.NET, a .NET MVC web framework that evolved from a small personal project to a full-blown MVC framework for building web applications in .NET, without using [...]
Most people believe dogfooding is the perfect way of ensuring the quality of the software you’re creating. I couldn’t agree more. The only problem is that when you use your own software, you always have the feeling that it’s not quite “done”. There’s always something that you can do better, always something that can be [...]
What’s the hardest part of creating any open-source project? No, not writing the code. No, not helping users in the support forum… I’ll tell you: writing documentation, especially when the documentation is not in your native language. So that’s what I have been doing for the last few weeks (or should I say “months”?). In [...]
Time for an update on the state of ProMesh.NET, the open-source MVC Web Application framework I started a few years ago. The last public release was almost 7 months ago, and a lot has been changed since then. The original plan was to create a version 1.5, but I decided against that and made it [...]
It has been almost one year since the last public release of CoolStorage.NET (“cool” open-source object mapper for .NET 2.0), but this doesn’t mean the product was dead. A lot of people regularly downloaded the latest builds from CodePlex and I received a lot of great feedback, which finally lead to the release of version [...]
Many of you know me from some open source projects that are hosted on CodePlex: CoolStorage.NET (ActiveRecord style object mapper) ProMesh.NET (MVC web application framework) LazyParser.NET (late-bound C# expression parser) The next project has been in development for quite a while and is closely related to the other projects, as it is being used in [...]
Nothing really, if you use it for simple personal projects. Once you start building web applications that are a bit more complex, you start running into all kinds of problems. What kind of problems am I talking about? Building web sites in multiple languages is a major pain in the butt. Once you have 2 [...]
