Refocusing

Recently, I have been posting about all sorts of things; Community Server, random stuff, oh, and Community Server.

That's all about to change.

I was chatting recently with a friend whom I respect a lot, and we got to talking about my blog. Yes, one of the two people who actually read it <g>. He mentioned that I don't really seem to have a focus here, and I should consider finding a theme and stick with it.

I got to thinking that my real passion, apart from .NET itself, is Enterprise development. Stuff like architecture, patterns, process (agile, iterative), middleware, BIG data, PASSMADE, reusability and code generation, XML, etc.

So that's what I'm going to start posting about. Sure, there'll still be some random posts about Philly.NET and development related stuff. But hopefully I can provide some meaningful and beneficial dialog within the enterprise development world.

This also means that the series on creating a Community Server Calendar extension is cancelled. First, because it doesn't directly relate to the focus, and second because the project has grown so large that I don't have enough time to write about all of it. The library itself crosses numerous architecture boundaries within CS, and is currently a little more than 12,950 loc. And that doesn't include the custom styles, URLs, resources, config settings, control panel pages, etc. that live in the Web site itself.

So there you are. Maybe I'll find another two readers?

See you in the Enterprise world.
