Git export (like SVN export)

I have been working with git for a while now on my Ruby on Rails projects and client side (css, Html and JS) projects, I haven't moved completely in flex projects and other projects but I do plan to in the near future, mainly becuase of the reason that you can integrate GIT into flash builder 4.

But, that is not the point.

This week I was working with a company on a client side project, I had to email them the files every time and the .git folders inside the project were heavy and unnecessary.

If you worked with SVN in the future you probably know the export command, after searching for a bit in git help I found how you can do it in git with ease.

This is the command you should use

git checkout-index -a -f --prefix=/path/to/your/folder/

The ending forward slash is very important, do not forget to use it please.

How can you give quality service to your clients

As you know, I am a freelancer, and as a freelancer I work face-to-face with my clients and I always have to find better ways to give quality service.

As a freelancer, all of the client's communication and service is up to you, you need to provide them with the best platform to work on, with you, along side with the existing team inside the company (in-case you are working with them).

So, because I believe I have that kind of platform I thought I'd share (as I always do) with you, how I work with my clients, although there are tools and services in this post, it's not about them, it's about how you can use them, seeing the customer's needs in the center of your concerns.

SVN on steroids using beanstalk and integrating basecamp

Well, if you consider yourself a professional and care about what you do in your day to day work you probably use some sort of version control system.

Whether you are using GIT or SVN, both self hosted or in the cloud.

Me, I'm a huge fan of cloud services and moving things and services into the cloud, managing my entire work (almost) in the cloud, from my email (GMail) to my backup service (Mozy) and now, SVN.

I will tell you about my solution in this post along with screenshots of what it looks like

The .net myth balloon exploding

bursting the .net rumors bubbleIf you are reader s of this blog occasionally or if you are subscribers to my Rss you probably know that I do alot of .net coding side-by-side with other technologies both on server side and on client side.

Also, you probably know that I do love to code .net and create amazing application with these technologies and frameworks ms are putting out into the market for years now.

Frankly, I've seen the myth's about .net being written about, talked about and the buzz is out there. .net is being trashed talked at about every open source community out there. recently I started coding with Ruby On Rails and I was absolutely shocked by the myth's that are going on in that online community of developers.

So, in this post I will take each point and act as a myth buster :-) it's going to be interesting...
