Well, the event evaluation forms for last weekend’s NYC CodeCamp are IN and have been tallied. And the winner is…
Just kidding. There is no winner because this year we decided to do a few things differently than in years past:
Eval forms didn’t contain numeric scoring for pre-defined categories (e.g., “Speaker was knowledgable about their topic”, [...]
Thanks to a code contribution from an adopter of NDbUnit, I’m happy to announce that NDbUnit v1.6 is now released and available for download from the Google Code downloads page with support for Oracle 8i and later.
Oracle support has been on the project’s roadmap for some time now and its great to be able to [...]
in a recent request for the Proteus Project, a user asked about defining test-related settings in external .config files to control connection strings settings, the location(s) of support files like the serialized dataset xml data files and the dataset xsd schema files, and possibly other things. While it might be of value to ‘formalize’ this [...]
For those of you who missed out on the first NYC Agile Firestarter that the NY ALT.NET User Group and the NY .NET User Group jointly organized in June of 2009, I just wanted to announce that there is a ‘sister’ event coming soon to the Central NJ Area: The Central NJ .NET Agile Firestarter! [...]
This is the last in a series of posts here and here about my design ideas for re-engineering the DX_SourceOutliner to improve its design as well as increase its flexibility and extensibility for the future.
Observed Theme 4: Analysis of Code Element Metadata
The .NET WinForms TreeNode class provides a node.Tag property of type object, the intended [...]
This is the second in a series of posts about my thoughts on my redesign of the DX_SourceOutliner Visual Studio DXCore-based plugin that started here.
Observed Theme 3: Decision Logic is (Mostly) Driven by User Options
As mentioned, one of the very serious growing problems with the present design of the DX_SourceOutliner is that of decentralized decision [...]
Anyone who has done any appreciative work in software engineering is familiar with one of the most challenging aspects of Software Development: the realization that software engineering isn’t fundamentally really about building so much as it is about discovering. We are taught for long periods in our careers (either implicitly through the language we use [...]
Background
Those people plugged into the Linux user community are probably aware that recently Microsoft has announced that it will be donating some 20,000 lines of code for eventual (they hope) inclusion in the Open Source Linux kernel project.
Setting aside any interest in a debate about altruistic vs. capitalistic motivations that might be at the heart [...]
As a creator of community content (no, I’m not likening the level of what I do to anything close to what Jeff and Joel have accomplished with StackOverflow), I’m willing to give the community content produced by others the benefit of the doubt. So I’ve been a long-time listener (from the beginning) of the StackOverflow [...]
Thanks to the recent code contribution of Alan Baldwin, I have just been able to complete the integration of support for SQLServerCe, Microsoft’s oft-renamed mobile SQLServer variant, as a database target into the NDbUnit project. You can get the latest source or the binary as a download.
This is the same release that includes the previously-integrated [...]
