Logging Navigation in the Silverlight 3 Beta
Continue reading →I’ve been playing around recently with my webserver – I recently switched from a hosted ASP.NET service to a virtual dedicated server, so I’m getting a chance to play with having full control over my server for the first time. I spent some time setting up logging and statistics on the server using IIS’s logging feature and some 3rd party log-crunching software. Having that logging data is invaluable – among other things, it helps me know which pages folks are interested in and gives me insight into whether it’s too hard to reach certain sections of my page. With the addition of navigation controls in the Silverlight 3 Beta SDK, having a logging solution that cooperates with my web server seems only prudent!

Playing around with Silverlight 3… a late Easter Egg hunt.
Continue reading →Ok, I admit it – I can be a little bit silly sometimes. I saw some entertaining articles on some popular tech websites today (e.g. gizmodo.com) and was inspired. Inspired, that is, to do something a little less… useful. So, I quickly coded up a little Silverlight 3 application using Blend 3 Preview, Visual Studio, and a little too much time to myself.

Sayin’ Howdy
Continue reading →Hiya, folks! Welcome to my brand new blog. My name is David Eitan Poll, and I’m a recent addition to the Application Framework (AppFx) Program Management (PM) team. I’m a Southern California native, and until my move up to Redmond, I called the O.C. my home. After high school, I scurried up to the Bay Area to work toward a degree (or two) in Computer Science at UC Berkeley (Go Bears!). Between years at Berkeley, I continued my trek up the west coast to Redmond to do not just one, but two PM internships with my current team.
