FREE Web Conferencing with dimdim.com

July 24, 2008 20:05 by Ryan Garaygay

Just like to share about dimdim.com. Nopz, this is not a social networking site like friendster or myspace, nor a paid blogging site, ad site or a multilevel marketing site where i'd convince you to sign for me to get a referral fee :)

Dimdim.com is a web conferencing/meeting service/platform similar to the popular WebEx or GotoMeeting. The only catch is it's for FREE. Yes you read it right. For Free. More...

SubSonic and Club Starter Kit

If you don't code generate your DAL or use OR/M or anything that would make you worry less about DataAccess like LINQtoSQL, Entity Framework, NHibernate, Castle ActiveRecord then you should definitely give SubSonic a shot.

On the side I'm currently working on a C# version of Extended Club Starter Kit Version 3 Beta 1 for one club that I was part of in college (and probably a few others) and one thing to note is that the project has opted to use SubSonic. It's an open source project developed by Rob Connery and a few other popular developers in the .NET. It simplifies generation of Data Access code and some utility functions common to development. And don't forget about the cool Scaffolding support.

They could be considered your admin pages or at least help during development. Bottom line is, all these features will save your time (which is what SubSonic aims for). More...

Link: SandCastle removed from CodeProject (temporarily I hope)

Due to popular outcry against having a non-open source project on the site, Microsoft has pulled Sandcastle from CodePlex. According to Anand, Microsoft is considering either moving the project to MSDN Code gallery or republishing the project with the source code. In the mean time you can download the May CTP from Paulo Santos' mirror.
