What do you do?
09
Apr
I often need to make the following decision when starting a web-project with a back-end and front-end and wonder what you would decide.
Do I create a separate front-end and back-end or do I blend the back-end with the front-end to create a consistent and single interface?
The last option creates some extra work in terms of hiding elements for site navigation, repositioning things and putting some logic in views (MVC), but keep the functionality of both the front- and back-end. When separating the two you sometimes get users who keep switching between front- and back-end or extensively use a preview function.
When it’s a small project I often decide to use blending; giving the (often only) administrator the possibility to edit for example the productinformation right inside the product-view when logged in. In larger project I mostly decide for a separate back-end.
What do you do? Leave a comment and tell us!
Deleting Dreamweaver _notes with 4NT

Developing with Dreamweaver has been a joy. However, when you want to use DW together with other tools, the “_notes” directories DW creates, tend to get in the way. These directories are created to keep synchronization information and (when you use this) notes for team-development. The problem is that if you want to use a different tool to manage your project, the _notes directory is not needed and should not be uploaded either.
Conficker anyone?

Well, not that I am waiting for shit to happen, but has anyone had any problems today that could be linked to the Conficker worm supposedly coming alive today?
Running several systems, managing several networks, I have not had one single incident yet.
Incidents worldwide are being reported, but it is still not clear if this is related to Conficker coming alive.
Update: podCast about Conficker with Shavlik Technologies on Techrepublik.
