I have been MIA for about the past two months (on this blog, on my screencasts, and just about everywhere else). Personal and professional obligations have kept about 100% of my attention lately but beginning today these situations have largely resolved themselves and so I should now be back to my regular (slightly) higher online [...]
For background on this post (and why its needed), go read my prior post CR_ClassCleaner (and CR_Documentor) builds updated for DXCore 3.2.2, but suffice it to say that DevExpress has updated its DXCore runtime (and the corresponding versions of CodeRush and RefactorPro!) to v 3.2.3 and this has meant the need to recompile the CR_ClassCleaner [...]
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 [...]

I know that Resharper (for whatever reasons) has much of the mindshare in the rest of the ALT.NET community, but for a variety of reasons I tend to prefer the Developer Express [...]
If you followed the Summer of NHibernate screencast series then you know that I use CodeRush and RefactorPro from DevExpress as Visual Studio add-ins to help supercharge my development experience (yes, I know that Resharper gets all the publicity, but I happen to prefer the CodeRush + RefactorPro approach to solving my extensibility needs, so [...]
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 [...]
My company makes extensive use of the NHibernate O/R Mapper technology in many of our solutions and we sometimes hire new developers that have good skills and experience but who have no direct exposure to NHibernate (yes, it is possible to be a good software developer even if you don’t know NHibernate but anyone [...]
