The new site www.wulffmorgenthaler.com went live tonight and the feedback has already been overwhelming. The website has undergone a complete renewal in both design and features to give it a more modern look and feel.

It was build from the ground up using SQL Server and ASP.NET 2.0 and has been designed to utilize a lot of the new features of the .NET 2.0 Framework. We also added support for RSS feeds with embedded comics and a whole new comment engine for the news section as well as the comics them selves.

We also added a rating system allowing visitors to rate the individual comics and see the top 10 best rated comics of all times.

All the new features will, hopefully, increase the level of participation by the visitors and also help wulffmorgenthaler to better communicate with their many fans world wide.

Every day, a new comic strip gets released and you can subscribe to them by e-mail or RSS for free.

This project allowed me to work closely with some of the best people in the industry, and I hope this shows when you see the website.

The comics are hilarious, so go visit wulffmorgenthaler.com and prepare to be entertained.

If you are new to programming or just interesting in learning how other developers approach the art of software development, you should check out Jan Schreuder's article on the subject.

He tries to explain the caveats in software development and how to mitigate them properly. It’s very interesting stuff and I agree with most of his arguments, except the one with writing safe code. In my opinion it is a syntax related issue and has nothing to do with safety. But I do understand his point though. Great article.
