In fact I get a job 3 months ago and I never told anything about this.
It's is just a big mistake that I fix now. I proudly annonce that
I am currently working for the
young startup called Artionet based at Delémont.
I start to immediatly working on a ASP.NET 2.0 project. I have never do serious work
on that framework so I have to learn quickly to become productive.
ASP.NET 2.0 is impressive in term of automation. If you use the
DataGridView object you can do CRUD applications very quickly without
writing any line of code. A lot of Visual Studio wizards make the job
for you.
The counter part is that the framework is a little bit rigid. I face some
difficulties to adapt controls to client needs.
Especially the DetailView that I found barely usable. These controls
are good for MS evangelists that make impressive demos for the audience but failed
sometimes to be flexible enough in real world.

I proudly release TempLight 1.0 and the associated website (with a nice WEB 2.0 logo style) today
TempLight is a software that enable the user to generate complex
text output. In fact it's just a PHP5 class that parse text files.
There is a templating language that make all the power of the tool.
It's possible to make almost everthing without pain (not so sure ;).
I have improved the software in my free time by adding key
features like inheritance. That was very easy in fact. I have also
added a little expression parser for the conditions to avoid the unsecure eval
function and a "regexvar" tag that enable powerfull filtering and
rendering. It's also possible to easily change the syntax of the language by editing
a dozen of variables.
For this release the software miss some points that was important.
I let them because I don't have enough time to work with a the moment (but I already know
how to do):
- A caching system to boost performance
- i18n
I hope that will come in a futur release.
