Simple Slideshow System: S5

S5 has been around a few years now, but some may not be aware of it. S5 stands for 'Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System'. The XHTML code is simple to modify (adding / removing slides) and understand. Styling via CSS is also very simple to do. It gracefully degrades - so if JavaScript is disabled, you can still see the content. Slideshows are also printer friendly. Like a slideshow you would do in Microsoft Office PowerPoint or OpenOffice Impress, you have to make sure not too much content is added to a slide, since any overflow is hidden. The keyboard or mouse can be used to navigate the S5 slideshow (although there are no context menu options).

Microsoft.NET Framework directory locations

Since there are directories all over the place for the Microsoft.NET Framework, I have decided to compile a list of some of the key ones used. Compilers, GACUtil, ASP.NET Register IIS/SQL, Assemblies etc. .NET 1.0: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705 .NET 1.1: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 .NET 2.0: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 After 2.0, more directories were added, the build number was also omitted from the directory name. Some key utilities (for Global Assembly Cache (GAC), ASP.NET, Code Access Security Policy Tool (caspol.exe)) weren't part of future versions, so, as a result, .NET 2.0 is required by them. .NET 3.0 uses .NET 2.0 compiler. New directories: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Workflow Foundation (only SQL scripts in here) C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) C:\Program Files\Reference A
