In the first installment of this pre-PDC blog post series, I published the list of the sessions I’ll likely attend and a list of sessions that would be cool to see, but that isn’t really target material (for me).
Microsoft has now published the time & location of each session, and I must say that [...]
So, we’ve reached November 1st – the day after Halloween and it’s only 15 days to the PDC! (Woohoo! )
I’m travelling with two of my colleagues and we’re staying at the Omni from the 14th, send me a message (typically on Twitter: larsw) if you want to hang out before / during [...]

First of all; a big thanks to Jason Barile/MSFT that set me in contact with Aaron Hallberg that in turned found a workaround for the bug I’m about to describe.

Hi, and apologies for being so awfully quiet the last couple of months. Expect the traffic to pick up again (I’ll explain the silence in a blog post later).

Hi,
I’m about to move the blog to a new more sane hosting provider that wordpress.com. If the blog is temporarily out of order, please go to the alias for this site larsw.wordpress.com instead. Thank you.

A few days ago, Gøran Hansen of Capgemini and a an active member of the Norwegian Microsoft scene – as well as active in the Twittersphere, wrote a blog post called “A Software Craftsman’s Bookshelf” containing a picture of his book shelf with Software Development-related books, as well as a brief review of the titles.

Since I started exploring the possibilities of the various bits of codename “Oslo”, there has been one thing that has really annoyed me (and this is not Oslo’s fault). The lack of a decent tool to do syntax highlighting of M, MGrammar & custom DSLs is vital to be able to communicate the intentions of [...]
20 minutes ago, this Twitter appeared in my TweetDeck. I’m currently watching the re-run of the first keynote of Mix’09 on one monitor, and idly checking twitter on another one.
So, for those of you that doesn’t know Jennifer; She’s a Developer Evangelist working out of Ann Arbor, Michigan for Microsoft. I had the chance [...]
In the first installment of this series we took a look at the basic grammar for parsing the command line with MGrammar. In this part I’ll show you how we can load in a compiled version of the MGrammar and parse the input (i.e. the command line) to produce a valid MGraph that we in [...]
