St-Patrick’s Day is this week-end…Get your green beer ready!

Agile

Pete Behrens tells of his experience transitioning a company to Agile in a big way.  They went “all in” as the poker analogy goes.

Design

IanG is ranting about the poor design of pop-up windows who steal focus away from you. I sympathize with him entirely, as this has caused me heartburn in the past.

Patrick Smacchia has an interesting article about avoiding dependencies in your .NET components.  Well worth a look.

Cory Foy points out there is a C# Design Patterns Group and they are holding a contest on the Decorator Pattern.  Have a look, fame (if not fortune) might await the winner!  Dang…another mailing list to subscribe to?!
Ted Graham has a good example of a realistic log4net config file.  As we use log4net in one of our program, this came in handy! (via The Daily Grind)
Community

Resharper 3.0 EAP is available.  This is one of the tools that I find invaluable (via The Daily Grind).

Jeremy Miller make a good point that even if your primary business is .NET, you shouldn’t be so blind or arrogant as to not look around at other languages.  This applies regardless of what you’re doing  (like C, C++, assembler, C#, VB…) (via Sam Gentile)
