First Post & Preview

I've decided to start a blog to start keeping track of answers to web development questions that I have so that I can recall them later on or refer people to posts.

some key things I've been researching recently that I plan to write up in future posts are:
1. .CSS file authoring best practices
2. absolute vs relative positioning of elements
3. centering content in the browser with CSS
4. float element
5. wiring up asp.net SqlMembershipProvider & SqlRoleProvider
6. state & country codes in an application
7. LINQ

some other things I'll post on as I get into them are
1. Wiring up roles & membership widgets in a real application
2. Assorted Silverlight & XAML topics
3. ADO.NET Entity Framework
3. ADO.NET Data Services

I feel an enormous clarity right now, both personally and professionally. After years of just wandering from one app to another & from one technology to the next, I finally think I see all the pieces I need to understand in order to do the type of development I really, truly want to do. Along with technical posts I will try to also try to jot down some of my thoughts & motivations along the way too, so that hopefully all my musings will have a bit of context & backdrop.
