Under the hood and working with .Net, TDD, Software Design, and Agile Stuff
Yesterday I sat down in the morning to spike something with the new ASP.NET MVC thingie. I was going to adapt a Javascript grid I wrote a couple years ago with Prototype and repurpose that code for the new requirements. After 5 minutes of googling, I ditched my code and went with some off the shelf jQuery plugins, and promptly found some other plugins that will serve just fine. Jeremy of 5 years ago would have rolled his own.
p.s. yeah, jQuery rocks and all, but the jQuery *community* and *project* is what's totally awesome to me.
