I came across this blog posting today, and just had to share it.  It's a blog posting from Scott Berkun about software development methodologies.  It is such a great read, and I recommend that anyone who has ever been involved in the software development industry have a read.

I also like this Wiki entry for Management Anti-patterns.

Just how many of these development methodologies and management patterns have you/are you experiencing?

The Microsoft Learning site has a number of self-paced eLearning courses on current technologies (e.g. .NET 2.0 & 3.0 and VS2005.) This blog pulls a subset of the developer courses that are free and lists them It is worth taking a look at the full developer catalogue as well.

I am personally interested in Clinic 5046 and 5230.

I do a lot of development on my laptop, both at work and ay home.  Both machines are running Windows XP Professional, and have IIS installed.  I often get the error HTTP 403.9 - Access Forbidden: Too many users are connected".  I have done some digging around this, and found that by default IIS 5.1 on Microsoft Windows XP Professional allows only ten concurrent users connected at any one time.

To get around this, you first need to change your default windows script host to cscript.exe:

cscript //h:cscript

Then you can increase the connection limit to 40.  it can't be increased beyond 40 as this is a hard coded windows limitation:

c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil set w3svc/MaxConnections 40

I would then re-set your default windows script host back to it's default of WScript.exe, by:

cscript //h:wsscript
