.NET TOOLS: Ten Must-Have Tools Every Developer Should Download Now
Lutz Roeder's Programming.Net -- lots of cool little programs! Kalok -- see the "Writer" program.
Adventures in Visual Basic .NET -- Take a ride on the Visual Basic .NET Express with Billy Hollis and Rockford Lhotka.
Everyone Into the Pool -- Rocky Lhotka delves into object pooling, a .NET Framework feature that allows you to pre-create a group of objects on the server that are shared by all clients.
Developing the ChalkTalk Sample Application, Part 1 -- very cool. Talks about using multiple forms and transparency to implement a cool drawing app.
Working with Queued Components
Implementing a Background Process in Visual Basic .NET -- Rocky Lhotka recommends and implements a structured framework sample to mediate between the worker threads and the UI thread, simplifying the process of writing multithreaded worker code and a UI to control it. The framework can be modified to suit your application needs; includes a downloadable code sample.
Creating Visual Basic .NET Controls from Scratch -- How to build a visual control from scratch that renders its own interface.

Developers: PHP 5 Released; PHP Compiler, Too
Posted by timothy on Tuesday July 13, @06:44PM
from the pronounced-like-it's-spelled dept.
TheTomcat writes "After years of anticipation, PHP 5 was released today. This release represents a milestone in the evolution of PHP. It sports the new Zend Engine II, a completely re-worked object model, and many many new features. Check it and the changelog out." In other PHP news, remote_bob writes "There have been many attempts, like BinaryPHP and PASM, but finally there is a complete compiler for PHP. The Roadsend compiler produces standalone, native executables, and supports the entire PHP language (but not all extensions). It uses Bigloo Scheme to do its job, a variant of Lisp, the language that Paul Graham writes about. Benchmarks say that performance is pretty good. Is this another sign that dynamic languages are the future?"
Progeny Releases Beta 1 of Progeny Debian

from the like-debian-but-better-i-hope dept.
Jeff Licquia writes "We just released the first beta of Progeny Debian 2.0, Developer Edition. This is intended to be a showcase of our Componentized Linux project for building customized Linux distributions, something that's been talked about here before. We'd really like people to give this a whirl and report any problems they have. For more information, Progeny's Platform site has the details."
