Effective Code Reviews Without the Pain

Effective Code Reviews Without the Pain
The Code Review process has been viewed in through many different lenses. Unfortunately, some of these lenses have been thought to be on the end of a endoscope. I am posting this link to make sure I share with some team-members and other devheads.

SharePoint Customization: Content Editor Web Part (CEWP)

The use of the CEWP for this has proven valuable in our enterprise implementation of some added features. Thank you to the authors for posting this.

While the Content Editor Web Part is anything but ideal for actual "content editing" it does serve as a great tool for adding snippets of javascript to a page to manipulate the DOM or add a client side mini-application. I am a big fan of using the CEWP for these types of jobs.

One of the key things you can do in SharePoint using the content editor web part is manipulate the DOM using getElementByID.

Learn more about using getElementById:

The A to Z of Programmer Predilections/Predilections

A very enjoyable read about the various programmers we come across in our adventures. I am not quite sure which one I fit, however, I did see a mix and definitely could draw a picture of the accused at work. Enjoy, be careful, you might laugh out loud.

Digg shares an Hacknot article that shows funny caricatures of 26 different types of programmers.

NASA Overjoyed at Catch From Stardust

mknewman wrote to mention a New York Times report that the Stardust project has exceeded NASA scientist's expectations. From the article: "While they had expected mostly microscopic samples, the researchers said, a surprising number of the particles were large enough to be seen with the naked eye ... The cargo in the Stardust's sample container, which was opened Tuesday, 'was an ancient cosmic treasure from the very edge of the solar system,' Dr. Brownlee said. Scientists believe that these particles are the pristine remains of the material that formed the planets and other bodies some 4.6 billion years ago."
