Strats and Tacts: March 2009

http://tietyt.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

This is a blog about strategies and tactics I have learned, mostly from my experience of playing 3D fighting games and reading classic strategy books. Oh. and Java. Thursday, March 26, 2009. The top 8 reasons I don't use Wicket. In a typical web framework, you write a template that's more-or-less HTML, but with special code to make it dynamic. For example, here's how to print "Hello World" in php:. Title PHP Test /title. Php echo ' p Hello World /p ';? Title Wicket Test /title. And then in a Java class:.

Agile 2009 Conference: August 2009

http://agile2009.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Our experience at the Agile 2009 conference in Chicago. Monday, August 31, 2009. Big Balls of Mud: Is This the Best that Agile Can Do? Was one of my favorite sessions, given by Brian Foote. It was presented as a "debate", where both of the presenters answered a series of questions given by a moderator. This session was a reflection on what I consider a fundamental problem in our profession: why is the "Big Ball of Mud" still the de-facto standard software architecture? Big Balls of Mud are. In the global...

Where T : Anything. Friday, August 31, 2007. Legacy code testing techniques: subclass and override non-virtual members. One of the core techniques in Michael Feathers'. Working Effectively With Legacy Code. Allow me to verify interactions, or simply put in some canned responses for dependencies. I need to override a method to provide an alternate, canned value. However, in C#, members are not virtual by default. Members have to be explicitly marked "virtual", otherwise subclassed members can only...I'm t...

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: March 2009

http://grahamnash.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants. Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Saturday, March 28, 2009. I recently attended SpeakerConf. And he was gracious enough to invite me without having ever spoken at a conference. I learned a good amount at SpeakerConf, and more importantly met many people I otherwise would not. I even had the honor of bouncing my ideas on inheritance. Off of Michael Feathers. There are n...

http://www.benrady.com/2010/06/a-bit-of-heresy-functional-languages-are-overrated.html

Language of the year: 2010. Testing Client Side Javascript with Jasmine and Node.js. A Bit of Heresy: Functional Languages are Overrated. June 29, 2010. Lets talk about problems. As professional software developers, we get paid to solve problems. Sometimes we do this by writing code. Sometimes we do this by finding creative ways to avoid writing code. In either case, its important that the problem drives the solution, and not the other way around. Enter: The Concurrency Problem. Moores Law. Once told me ...

Hi, I'm joe. This is my place to write about the things that interest and irk me when and if I feel so inclined. Wednesday, October 17, 2007. I went for a walk. It was nice to get away from work for the afternoon. A rainy fall day in the canyon is seldom disappointing. Sunday, October 14, 2007. Unit testing is not one of my strong points. I'm currently reading. Am I placing the logic in the wrong places? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I went for a walk.
