Being able to rename a class in the Eclipse IDE and have it automatically find and fix all references to the class, including references in non-source-code files like documentation, XML, and properties files, is pretty hot. However, not being control which files it searches is not so hot, as there are a ton of files in my development directory that it really doesn't need to search and hence it takes...

Last week I came across a good tool to create syntax highlighted source code from Google called SyntaxHighlighter. It is 100% client side javascript which supports multiple languages i.e. C++, C#, CSS, Java, PHP, Riby, XML/HTML, etc. Although it is very cool and easy to use but it creates an invalid XHTML code. The reason [...]

Wordpress.org has released the source code for their iPhone application. It’s great sample code that demonstrates some useful techniques such as XML parsing & network reachability testing. Of course this probably violates Apple’s FUCKING NDA, which really should have been lifted when the iPhone 3G shipped and the App Store opened.

I was literally in the middle of writing the post when I saw a message from Andrew Davey about how he had implemented the same idea ! Of course, his is way better, so I got to code via subtraction. That means subtracting out the crap I had written in a few minutes and dig into his code. There are no unique ideas, right? ;) Either way, it's fun when the same idea is being thought about simultaneously....

If you are not familiar with Sandcastle , it is a tool which takes your source code XML comments and produces beautiful MSDN-style documentation. Not so long ago, Sandcastle was pulled off of Codeplex because it was in violation of the Codeplex rules (in particular, the project didn't include source code). There was a lot of debate about this (both externally and internally). Personally, I was an...

During the recent discussion of the OAI-ORE drafts (which use RDF), the claim was made that RDF is serialized in RDF/XML and thus could be considered an XML representation of the underlying data model. My response to that was that...
