This Week C9: VS 2010, Must-Have Developer Utilities, Upgrade your home

Developer Rorschach, haha, excellent!

Windows 7 sensors.  I'm just waiting for the smorgasbord of USB and wireless sensor gadgets to inundate us.

Scott Hanselman list looks pretty cool. Here are the links for the other two programs mentioned in the show:

welcome back dan! good to hear poopage is progressing as planned

(welcome back brian too, but you havent been gone as long )

sensor platform is awsome, too bad there arent that many devices out there yet though.. do you know if there is a way to write a managed wrapper of a sensor and have sensor platfrom use that? if not, do you know of any good tutorials on how to write a sensor driver from scratch? file > new to driver visible in win7 i mean..

in anycase, there needs to be a wiimote driver for sensor platform

--edit--

family guy ftw

(warning, childish, hilarious)

Many people don't get Dynamic, and what they don't get, they don't want. Some not only don't get it, they see it as a way to circumvent the type system and so hate it. As Anders says - if you don't have the types in the first place, why should you have to have ugly syntax just because the compiler doesn't have the types.

Many others (at least used to) think that C# is just Java rehashed (I still hear this today from some people), in a way it was, but any new language is a rehash of something else. But they're not the same. They have very different generics, different ways of dealing with primitive types vs reference types. Java generics is compiled with type-erasure. Etc., etc., etc. That these differences are constantly glazed over is just annoying.

Now, with LINQ, Lambda expressions, Dynamic, etc., we're getting much more detached. And indeed we see Java copying C# & co. Mutually recursive development, the way it should be (don't really like the word "innovation").

Great show guys! Good to se you both back (although the crew filling in for you was awesome ).

As for Synergy goes it’s a great piece of software. I’ve been using it for couple of years now. Unfortunately it’s has been out of development for some time now I also have one issue with it. When I’m using it at home with my PC (which has XP SP3) and my Laptop (which has Windows 7) I have to turn of UAC on my laptop, otherwise it won’t work

Brian: what's with the hat?  Sunburnt head?  Ill advised holiday haircut?

Nice show, however...

...if you're going to recommend some tool to your viewers, don't you think you should test it before you do?

I've tried this Markup Tamer in VS2008 and it greates errors in my code in the first file I applied it on.
