Linq to Objects vs Generic List

If you know me, then you know I like to make things run fast.  I like testing performance of my software.  So with a recent website, I noticed that I query a tiny database table a lot.  There surely is a faster why to do it, and with Linq statements you can query in memory objects like Sql.  Nice…?

Rate My Yoga Teacher

Lost in a yoga jungle

This weekend saw the launch of an idea I have been having for a week or so while now.  I have a great yoga teacher, but when she is unable to run a block of classes am kinda lost.  Where should I go?  Who should I speak to? ARGH!!  Ok it’s not that stressful, but it can be annoying, and I guess there are tonnes of people out there in similar boats from time to time.

So when a friend and colleague, said the same thing, I thought it was about time to do something.  When we were talking about the problem, we thought that maybe running a directory but one that was a rating site as well, would be a good idea.  That way, you can see a list of teachers in your area, and how others rate them.

So http://ratemyyogateacher.co.uk was born.  Now I have found a couple of other sites that do something similar, but they just don’t look appealing, or very easily useable.  So what will I bring to it.  Well am not sure yet.  It’s just new.  So go along to the site and register for the updates to the site.  I will let you know when it goes live…
