I posted the Programming Web 301 code and presentation. You can download it here.
The presentations went pretty good. A lot of people showed up to both of them. I have to apologize to the people that attended my Programming Web 101 and 201 session for not having enough time. Originally I was going to have 3 sessions (101, 201, 301) but due to time constraints I was asked to drop one or merge 2 together. Since I thought we had 90 minute slots per presentation I had no problem with it. During Code Camp I found out we only had...
This saturday July 14th, 2007 is the Tampa Code Camp. To tell you the truth I think this is the only Code Camp I haven't spoken at in Florida! I'm very excited about it! Join me and the rest of the people already registered in yet another free, great developer geekfest.

Using the new MaskedTextbox with WinForms and .net 2.0 is awesome, but by default the text property gives you the entered text with the masked characters. It is not wise to store those characters into a DB. By setting the TextMaskFormat to ExcludePrompAndLiterals the text property will return the entered text only.
Happy programing!
I am very happy to announce that yesterday I have been added to a very elite club: the Microsoft MVP (Microsoft Most Valuable Professional) Club. If you don't believe me check it out for yourself: MVP Profile. I will also like to congratulate a coworker, Brian Peek, for also becoming an MVP.
So what's an MVP you might ask? Who better than Microsoft itself to explain it:"Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are exceptional technical community leaders from around the world who are awarded for voluntarily sharing their high quality, real world expertise in offline and online technical communities. Microsoft MVPs are a highly...
