>>I also observed that one of the contributors has "over 15 years of experience in architecting, designing and developing successful .NET applications." (bolding mine). Should have mentioned 'experienced time traveller' as a major qualification too, since visiting the future is about the only way to gain that experience.

>Ha, so I'm not the only one who noticed that. I just chalked it up to poor wording - maybe they wanted to say they had 15 years experience in architecting, designing, and developing successful applications, then decided that they wanted to get ".NET" in there someplace and just stuck it in (not realizing what they were actually saying). Still funny...

I chalk it the same way. Nonetheless, misstatements like that only lessen the credibility of the author and the magazine both.

There comes a point where we have to stop guessing at how things were intended to be constructed/read and take things how they ARE written/stated. This business is getting so loosey-goosey overall that soon we won't be able to count on anything except those things we test for ourselves, and that's no way for anything to succeed.
