For those of you who are long-time followers of my blog, you are probably aware that as long ago as this post from October of 2007 (originally from my blog’s former home on the Microsoft Live! Spaces site but since ported over here so I wouldn’t lose it when I declared my independence from Live! [...]
I am pleased to announce that I have just been confirmed as one of the speakers @ the upcoming NYC CodeCamp on 1/10/2009. Apparently my voluminous presentation abstract didn’t scare them away from me .
I’ll be speaking @ 9:15am on TDD (surprise~!) where I will be giving a live-demo from empty .cs file to the [...]
As anyone who knows me is well-aware, I am a confirmed tool-addict. If there is a utility, framework, add-in, add-on, or plug-in I want to have read about it, tried it, evaluated it, and decided for myself whether its worth keeping in my developer’s tool belt. As a professional software developer, I’m unashamedly and unrepentantly [...]
As a convenience, here is a quick summary of the prior posts that cover the ‘Inside the Sausage Factory’ series to-date. As this covers the initial refinement of features, design of the database schema, prototyping of the UI, and the initial round of development and tests on the first component of our MVP-style ASP.NET application, it [...]
In my last three posts (here, here, and here) I documented the slight detours I took to address some perceived shortcomings in two of my tools-of-choice for the SkillPortal Project: CIFactory and MbUnit. Now that those are resolved favorably, I can return to the work on the project.
In the last post about the actual project, [...]
In my last post, I talked about the second part of the detour that derailed (albeit only temporarily) my progress on the SkillPortal project. The first part of the detour took me on a journey that ended with my delivering an updated VAULT Package to the CIFactory project and the second detour took me on a [...]
In the last post, I described the extended detour that my attempt to implement CIFactory took me on. Its worth reiterating, just in case it wasn’t clear from my last post, that I consider the detour needed to implement CIFactory (and by extension, modify the Vault ‘package’ for CIFactory to be a little more flexible) [...]
Well, its been quite some time (23 days!) since my last post on this project on October 20 and I’ve been on quite the journey in the mean time. It all started innocently enough: with the project now having a unit test or two worth running, I figured the next step would be to setup a Continuous Integration (CI) environment for the SkillPortal project. [...]
In our last post we built the beginnings of the View and the Presenter parts of our home-grown Model-View-Presenter approach to the User Interface for our application. Although it would seem our next step would be to begin building the actual user interface that will interact with our Presenter, that’s not quite true.
Building even the [...]
