今天在網上找到一些開源的Web Design, 對我這個不太懂Art and Design的人來說很有用 =)

Microsoft Office Addin for Saving Files to Google Docs

I think the idea of Google Docs is good and it has a big advantage for collaboration on same document.

However, since Google Docs is a web application, no matter how to improve AJAX, it still have some limitation on the UI.

I think this is the reason why Google Pack include Star Office. I guess goggle may put some effort to integrate Google Doc with Star Office / Open Office.  

Today, I have an idea to write a plugin for Microsoft Office, so that I can save the MS Word document directly to google docs or directly open a document from google doc.

After doing some research I found it is possible because Google release some API

Unfortunately, it did not provide .NET API. May be I need to implement one by myself…

I also found some article which tell me how to build an addin for Microsoft Office using .NET

All API is ready, it is time to implement it la….

 

 

Anders Hejlsberg的信念

我喜歡看程式語言大師Anders Hejlsberg在MSDN發表的文章, Anders Hejlsberg的想法和我的想法在很多地方不謀而合, 看起來很有共鳴的感覺.
今天看到一篇他的interview "A Conversation with Anders Hejlsberg - The C# Design Process",當提到Checked Excpetion的versionability and scalability issues 討論時,他的一個信念:

"I'm a strong believer that if you don't have anything right to say, or anything that moves the art forward, then you'd better just be completely silent and neutral, as opposed to trying to lay out a framework."
(如果你對該問題不具有發言權，也沒辦法推進其解決進程，那麼最好保持沉默和中立，而不應該擺出一個非此即彼的架勢。)

真的十分認同!
如果大部份人也用這種做法, 開會也許會有效率得多 =)
