Code52 Show and Tell: My pet project CopyCat - Lessons learned

CopyCat – A big fat cat walking and waltzing the internetz

I am a pretty normal geek. At least I think I am normal and a geek. I see geeks as people (yes really) that want to play with things, discover new things and build things. When geeks play with things they discover new things quite often.
(Similar story heard and “adapted” from Scott Hanselman) 
After I ‘ve discovered something I want to scream it out to someone:

“Look at this dude!! Isn’t that awesome???”

A normal reaction that you get from a non-geek:

“Wow… Is this showing the weather in form of colors that you could just get by watching out the window?”

This is the pattern for the reaction that you normally get
“Wow… Is this <something> that does <somethingUselessAtBeginning> that you could just get by doing <somethingElse>?”

Reporting: 13 questions to answer before getting started

I get the following questions quite often and thought I gather my thoughts together in this blog post

  • “Which reporting components should we use in WPF?
    Is it Infragistics, Telerik, syncfusion”
     
  • “Is DevExpress XtraReports Suite still state of the art for reporting?”
     
  • “Do you prefer SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) over Crystal Reports?”
