Keeping a 'did.txt' file is a simple yet effective way to track daily progress and solidify learning, especially useful when learning to code. It's similar to the 'snippets' we use internally, offering a concise record of individual and team accomplishments. I recommend structuring weekly summaries with 'what I did' and 'what I intend to do this week' sections for reflection and planning.

This post introduces a ReSharper Live Template to expedite creating default constructors in C#. The template, activated by typing "dc", automatically inserts a public default constructor for the containing class, saving developers keystrokes and time. An example demonstrates its usage.

I'm really interested in ATLAS (AJAX), but I need to prioritize my time. I can't afford to get sidetracked by this project right now, especially since it's not .Net-based and my current work focuses on .Net.

In this part of my series on my first AJAX application, the Technorati Tag Generator, I discuss its success in streamlining my blogging process. The generator significantly reduces the time I spend creating Technorati tags, saving me roughly 50 minutes per post. While I'm thrilled with this improvement, the current version lacks the Feedster and MSN search boxes present in my initial design. I plan to reintroduce these features in the next version, along with related search previews, to enhance the value and usability of my application. User feedback has highlighted the importance of these features, and their inclusion is crucial to achieving my goals for the project.
