Technical Links
Listed below is a collection of links I’ve found useful for in researching different problems from time-to-time. In the interest of sharing the wealth spreading knowledge and all that enlightened stuff, I figured I’d throw this little list together.
- http://gridviewguy.com/ — This site got me started in .net 2.0 programming and introduced me to the new features of the grid view. This guy tends to stay up-to-date on .Net stuff and is a good read every now and then.
- http://www.rgagnon.com/jsdetails/js-0063.html — This page has a ton of excellent regular expression examples. They’re written in javascript, but the expressions are usable for any language. As far as I’m concerned, this is a must have resource for regular expressions. I’ve gone on to use this as inspiration for my own validation class written in C#.
- sqlskills.com — Good resource for sql server stuff.
- Heuristics list — Good list of considerations for designing usability. I’ll admit I don’t use this list as often as I should, but hey, do as I say, not as I do. Here’s another one… Make your own wordpress template, don’t just bum one from someplace else like me.
- Measuring the Size of Uploaded Images — I needed to upload files and keep them under a certain size once for one of my .Net projects. Well, here’s where I got started. This article is a nice resource.
- SQL Server Performance — I do a lot of SQL Server programming and dabble in administration (although that’s been picking up a bit too.) This site addresses so relevant stuff and I like to keep it in my back pocket.
- Connectionstrings.com — Where would many of us be without having a repository for database server connection strings. They should sell a poster. I’d buy a couple and and hang one in my cubicle and another above my bed.
- Computer Programming Algorithms Directory — This site describes and documents dozens of common and useful programming algorithms. Everything from encryption to GIS modeling is covered.
