So its been a while since my last post. The past year getting my .Net 3.5 and WCF certification and switching to a new job have kept me rather busy. But perhaps more on that in a different post.

Lately I have been busy with asp.net mvc and my favourite viewengine Spark.
However it seems there is a problem in the spark compiler. Whenever
the app pool recycles, the spark compiler doesn't seem to load all of
the referenced assemblies, resulting in compilation errors.

That metal learning groove

Being in the ICT world means working in a dynamic, fast moving industry. So any self respecting developer will spend quite some time keeping up with current developments.

But like normal people, I don't always feel like it. Not that its not interesting or anything, but I just got so many other things I want to do.

In those cases I need to get into a learning mood first. In order to get into "the zone" I usually utilize music to close myself off from my environment so I can fully focus on the subject. Lately I am listening to the soundtrack of Brutal Legend which just rocks.

So I was wondering, what do you use to get into that "learning groove".

In the 2009.2 release of the Aikido asp.net controls infragistics released the WebHierarchicalDataGrid. At the moment of writing it is still in CTP, but it will be officially release somewhere next week.

At work we have an application which uses Castle ActiveRecord 1.3. I have been wanting to upgrade to the latest version in trunk ever since the new Criterion API for NHibernate was introduced, however at the time, my pointy haired boss threw a wrench in that plan. Saying he wants a proven stable build. (in other words a Release Candidate).

A short while ago AR 2.0 was released and I rejoiced! So I downloaded the latest versions of AR, the Windsor container and DynamicProxy. And started updating.
