He talks about his upcoming book in which he attempts to organize projects into archetypes, and helps the reader determine which archetype thier project is closest to, so he can give his recommendations.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

Only a week after returning from a 30-day trip through the interior of the American heartland, we found ourselves in Merry Old England speaking at and attending the VBUG Winter Conference. Carl moderated a Code-Off in which four developers each created a user interface for a system of web services, each using a different technology. They then showed off those applications in a very small window of time. Immediately following this, we interviewed them in front of the audience. We also spoke one-on-one to Graham Parker, one of the code-off developers, about VBUG and the UK .NET community.Note: The sound is a bit off during this show because we didn't have control over the audio. :-)Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations
