C# 4: Dynamic Types, Variance & Named Arguments

C# 4 adds some great features to what is already this language geek's favorite language. One of the overarching design goals of C# 4 is to be more dynamic. From the docs:
The major theme for C# 4.0 is dynamic programming. Increasingly, objects are “dynamic” in the sense that their structure and behavior is not captured by a static type, or at least not one that the compiler knows about when compiling your program.

Lets take a quick look at C# 4's dynamic key… Continue

Not content to let Pat and Sherwin have all the fun with Cocoa development, I decided to dive in today. I just finished my first application.

The Web & Indigenous Cultures in Developing Countries

A few years ago the title of this post would have sounded bizarre, but its happening. From Fiji to Madagascar, we are observing the affect of web access on indigenous cultures. 99% of web access in these countries is by the wealthy few, but in some villages children walk hours to schools lucky enough to have a web connection. Village chiefs in Fiji often have mobile phones, and last month Vodafone Fiji starting offering iPhone. This will undoubtedly make web access in villages more prevalent.

Facebook Exodus Non-Story in the NYT

I normally don't comment on this sort of thing, but I received numerous links to Virginia Heffernan's vacuous NYT article titled Facebook Exodus. It must have been a very slow news day. By Virginia's own admission at the top of paragraph two, Facebook is growing at a furious rate. ComScore puts last month's unique visitors at 87.7 million and monthly growth at over 20%. To what exodus is she referring… Continue

Thanks for the note. Have you ever emailed Gina? Or anyone on the ning team?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for setting up this site. I set up a ning site for my high school alumni association 2 years ago and it has been an amazingly simple platform. Marc and Gina have done a great job.

That said - ning does have its challenges. For example - it is extreemly frustration that when someone has a new post or message, an email gets sent out, but the message isn't in the email... forcing everyone to have to click back to the ning site. This = FAIL because it disrupts the flow of convesation and people don't want to be forced to go to the ning website. We also discussed this last night and lost of folks we frustrated with it.

There used to be an option in the admin control to allow messages to be included the same way they do in FB. Do you know if you can change this setting? I seem to remember that ning removed this option in order to increase click rate to the site. :(
