WYSIWYG editing in the browser returned to the mainstream with Internet Explorer 5: The new designMode property allowed a whole document to become editable by the user.

I have been using Visual Studio since it first came out and have been big fan of it for quite a few years.

I told the recruiter I thought the right person with a C# background and the right (respectful) attitude could be a good fit with two weeks work. But in the back of my mind I’m thinking “what resource could she possibly access during those two weeks.”Extracting errors and warnings from a log file using PowerShell
