• Deleting all records in all tables in the entire database using NHibernate

  This is a great little code snippet I thought I'd share. Before each one of my NUnit or NBehave tests, I clear out all the records from the database using NHibernate.

• Found some good code today

  I'm hoping this won't offend any of you out there, but most of us developers write crappy code.

• ASP.NET Sucks and It DOES Matter

  This is partially in response to this somewhat infamous article by Jeff Atwood: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001119.html In this Jeff mentions that although PHP as a language and platform sucks, it doesn’t matter. Its low barrier to entry... Posted Aug 03 2008, 08:13 PM by Software Theosophy Filed under: General Programming, Web Development, Agile, OOP

• A little reflection

This is because... Posted Jan 09 2008, 08:50 AM by Software Theosophy Filed under: General Programming, OOP, Codesmith, O/R Mapping

• Missing Query String Parameters and What To Do About Them

  When you're writing code in an asp.net page (or any other type of page) you often come across situations where you need to know what to do should the user tamper with the query string parameters.
