Subversion isn't perfect. If there's one thing that I've learned in working with Subversion it's to always ask questions, never take anything for granted.

The HTML Agiity Pack allows a developer to parse a web page and scrape together web features, like a RSS feed from just an XSLT file serving as the main binding. Parsing out of the web core html files are important to any iphone developer. Mono is really capitalising on the .NET lib and spreading the word on numerous platforms. The open source community is proving to be a tactile choice to improve... Continue reading
