For landboss we use NHibernate.Search to build and query Lucene indexes made from our NHibernate objects "automagically." So far it has worked really well, and made full text search stupid-easy. Recently on our live environment we found a disturbing and very confusing issue surrounding it. The...
LANDBOSS finally released for open beta later yesterday; now it's just a matter of making any changes people request (and they will request them!). I'm confident since we have things pretty polished already, though, that this is the beginning of the end and we'll get...
As a self-taught developer and as a manager who has watched the growth of many young developers, I have seen a pattern in the learning cycle of developers. It usually goes like this: 1. Make it work The young developer is ecstatic to just have code that...
Chris Kaukis and I ran into an "issue" with NHibernate yesterday that really threw us for a loop. Consider we have 2 entity types "Order" and "Item" with a Many-to-Many relationship between them. Say we want to query all the orders for a given item. ...

The term RAID stands for “Redundant Array of Independent Disks," and it is a way for computer users to gain a lot of storage reliability from ordinary disk drives without having to resort to more expensive components. Better performance and/or capacity is achieved by arranging...
A lot of landboss is built on ASP.NET server controls but also contains a lot of javascript code, ExtJS code to be precise. To get around a lot of the headache synchronizing the server/client relationship we tend to use javascript singletons quite a bit. We'll...
Today is my 6 month anniversary at Interworks and I’ve decided to commemorate it by showing off some of what I’ve been learning. When I started at Interworks I didn’t know anything about web development and quickly realized I didn’t know much about programming either,...
Over my career, I've worked with some great print designers. The work has always been fun, but often difficult; the Web is a very different medium than print when it comes to design. For designers used to the print world, moving to Web design can...
