A few years after building the free travelblog site Globallog.nl in PHP. I started building a new version in .Net together with Mark. Although this was a joyful and educational experience, we never finished this project… Now a few years later I finished a new travelblog portal; Gaatverweg.nl.

Gaatverweg.nl is build with Wordpress MU (php) and uses multiple Wordpress plugins and a few custom build plugins.

For our customer Prorail I prototyped a Google Map control with all dutch train-rails and stations rendered on it.

The map is build with OpenLayers it renders the rails based on WMS images and the stations from KML, both sources come from Arcgis Server.

I finished building a Google CSE platform and deployed multiple .Net related searchenginges. 

• dotNetSearch.Net
  
• SilverlightSearch.Net
  
• SharepointSearch.Net (with Bas)

 Let me know If you have good ideas or sites for the searchengines? 

More will follow.

Project description:

When trying to find a way to get my hosting expenses covered I started a Wallpaper-site (pretty lame, but still). At this moment I was playing with Linq and wanted to do some with Linq to Objects. At this moment the site creates his own navigation and image view with Linq to Object based on the file-system.

Used technologies:

• Asp.Net 3.5 
• Linq to Objects
• Asp.Net Cache

First the presentation on the Microsoft MIX 2008 and now the front page of .Net magazine with the Ulab Silverlight project!!

To get more developers certified I started a MCTS learning course for the developers. Once in the two weeks all we had half a day to review two chapters, every chapter was reviewed by a developer.

Ten developers started the course and at this moment (20 April) six people are MCTS (Web) certified and one MCPD (and two employees left).
