.NET Open Space 2009 in Leipzig – Ich bin dabei!  [click for more...]

.NET Open Space vom 17.10. bis 18.10.2009 in Leipzig

Am 17./18.10.2009 findet in Leipzig der .NET Open Space 2009 statt. Dabei handelt es sich um eine “Unkonferenz”, also eine Veranstaltung, bei der es nicht die übliche Rollenaufteilung Sprecher / Zuhörer wie bei den üblichen Entwicklerkonferenzen gibt.

Kann so etwas funktionieren? Die positiven Erfahrungen des ersten .NET Open Space 2008 in Leipzig und des Ablegers .NET Open Space Süd 2009 in Ulm zeigen eindeutig: Ja!

Anmeldung und weitere Infos auf http://netopenspace.de/

Nachdem es letztes Jahr bei mir nicht geklappt hat, werde ich dieses Jahr auch in Leipzig sein und mich dort wohl viel im Arbeitsbereich User Interfaces und User Experience herumtreiben.

Você desenvolve ou “arrasta e solta”?  [click for more...]

Faz muito tempo que não escrevo nada, e hoje não vai sair nenhuma linha de código, apenas um ponto de vista. Estava eu falando outro dia com meu irmão, Fábio, que é designer, flasheiro etc etc e ele estava me contando que os desenvolvedores ASP.NET que aparecem para os trabalhos em agência de propaganda, só sabem fazer as coisas na base do arrastar e soltar. CARAMBA, quase infartei… Comecei a desenvolver em um tempo em que wizards e assistentes no VB4, BN5 e até no VB6 eram carentes de performance e personalização.

Mas, para entender melhor, fui dar uma verificada nesses sites e enteder o porquê de tanto arrastar e soltar. Bem, pude conferir que esses sites, geralmente todos em Flash, tem uma tela ou outra para você se cadastrar, receber notícias essas coisas. E nesse ponto tenho que ser sincero, para uma serviço desses qualquer linguagem dá conta e qualquer desenvolvedor, por pior que seja, afinal, gravar UM registro é coisa demais?

Aí, fui tentar entender o porquê de todos preferirem o bendito “arrastar e soltar”. Bem, eu não gosto, prefiro não usar, mas fiz uns testes com ASP.NET Dynamic Data e com o ObjectDataSource e vou expressar agora, o que achei.

  1. ASP.NET Dynamic Data – Útil para os casos em que não temos tempo para criar as páginas de cadastro de um sistema, desde que essas páginas fiquem sob os cuidados de TI senão, personalizá-las, dá um pouco de trabalho.
  2. ObjectDataSource – Usei e não gostei. Me poupou algumas linhas de código, mas e daí? Tive que criar a classe, os métodos etc etc. Não gostei… e ponto.

Posso ter usado pouco essas duas e concluído rápido demais, mas, aprendí nesses quase 16 anos de desenvolvimento que não existe sintonia fina em coisa que nasce pronta. Quando preciso de performance e escalabilidade, a coisa fica feia e esse monte de assistentes e wizards são inúteis…

Há algum tempo atrás, coloquei uma série de quatro artigos no site DEVASP.NET, sobre AJAX, uma fazendo todo o uso de AJAX mas na unha, sem nenhuma biblioteca, chamando o objeto XMLHTTPREQUEST etc etc. E as outras com o uso de da Biblioteca AJAXPro. Você pode conferir aqui.

Porquê mencionou essas coluninhas sobre AJAX nesse post? Só para que antes de utilizarmos só o que nos é dado pronto, a gente saiba como a coisa funciona, saiba o que é preciso para que funcione. Se você não souber, imagina quando precisar resolver um problema…

Abraços e vou evitar ficar tanto tempo sem postar nada… mas o dia-a-dia no banco tá bravo…

Falow!@!

Chilá!@!
