Macgyver

 

I did a presentation on Macgyver at our fortnightly breakfast meeting. How does Macgyver relate to The Farm?

Macgyver used objects and tools around him to get himself out of a jam. When a tool was not present or there was nothing immediately useful around, he used what was available and improvised. 

As programmers, we are often presented with tasks that involve a bit of lateral thinking. Gone are the days of casual R&D. These days we must often (and quickly) survey what tools are available to us, and then MacGyver together a solution (even if it means making the tools ourselves).

Here are some of the technologies we have MacGyvered together at the The Farm (used in various combinations)

- .Net 1, 2, 3, 3.5

- CSS/ HTML

- AJAX

- Lytebox

- PHP

- LINQ

- Entity Spaces

- Umbraco

- Flash/Flex 

- Silverlight

- Wordpress

- .Net Blog Engine

- After Effects

- Haymail / MailBuild API's

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It is the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of trackbacks??

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.This made very glad Smile

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
