Markus Egger of CoDe Magazine and EPS Software fame joins Carl and Rory this week to talk about OOP, Windows Forms, Visual Inheritance, and Tablet PC development.

Jon Box and Dan Fox are on the show this week talking about smart devices, the Compact Framework, and their book, “Building Solutions with the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework”

Even if you are not currently developing for smart devices, this show is worth the listen. Jon and Dan talk about smart device past, present, and future, and offer real insights into and development strategies for development with the .NET Compact Framework.

Topics include pInvoke, memory usage, UI design, storage, local file access, synchronization, asynchronous programming, and more.

Chris Flores, Jay Roxe, and Brian Goldfarb from Microsoft tell developers what they can expect from DevDays, a one-day conference in your local area hosted by Microsoft and your local Regional Director.

For about a hundred bucks you can get the PDC build of Whidbey and some incredible sample code that you can use right away to build and secure smart client and ASP.NET applications.

Carl and Rory talk with Kevin about ObjectSpaces (a new business object management tool coming in the Whidbey timeframe), UML, Object Role Modeling (ORM), Visio, and his Mere Mortals Framework, an application framework for .NET developers based on best practices and patterns.

This is a good show for anyone interested in using patterns and practices, maximizing development time, and tools the help you design and build business objects.

Next Week: Kevin McNeish

This week, Carl and Rory talk with noted ADO and ADO.NET guru Carl Prothman about ASP.NET, being an MVP, INETA, ADO.NET, ASP.NET Security and Visual Studio.NET.

There were lots of callers during the show. This may be the best show we’ve ever done on ADO and ADO.NET issues. CP also talked about how to prevent the most common types of ASP.NET attacks.

Regular segments: Fan mail, Google Weirdos, Linux Vulnerability of the week, and a lucky listener wins a copy of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise with 25 licenses compliments of the Microsoft Regional Director Program

Rory also unleashed some of his own music during the intermission! All in all, this is a very informative and lively show.

Ted Neward (DevelopMentor, TheServerSide.Net) and Bruce Tate (Bitter Java) talk about the relationship between Java and .NET, underscoring the issues with interop between the two platforms.

Also discussed: cultural differences between the Java and .NET communities, the Pet Store Benchmark, the Jump Toolkit and J#, Naked Objects, unit testing, refactoring, the Standard Widget Toolkit, Mono, Rotor, Java on the client vs on the server, Swing, Sun vs Microsoft ideology, rabid zealotry in the Java community, languages vs platforms, open source, and the future of Java IDEs.

Dan Appleman stopped by to talk about languages and what’s new at Desaware.

As always, Rory does Google Weirdos, and Carl exposes the Linux Vulnerability of the Week.
