Most of software applications are built to be used by humans, this is why Rich UX is a very important factor in the success or failure of software projects. Rich UX often discussed from the technology perspective, although in my opinion UX requires a process and mentality where the human is at the center, not the technology. Lightweight processes under the Agile umbrella are a great candidate for managing human centric applications with their assertion on feedback and change as a core value. Also valuin... (more)

Basic Introduction To Writing Unit Tests With moq

published 771 days, 16 hours, 22 minutes ago posted by deanomachinodeanomachino 773 days, 16 hours, 19 minutes ago
Sunday, April 11, 2010 10:17:45 AM GMT Friday, April 09, 2010 10:20:39 AM GMT
Basic Introduction To Writing Unit Tests With moq What is mocking? Well....according to Wikipedia it is: "In object-oriented programming, mock objects are simulated objects that mimic the behavior of real objects in controlled ways. A computer programmer typically creates a mock object to test the behavior of some other object" In short, Mock objects are a great way to simulate an object that we need to work with. Sometimes we may also come across situations or states that are difficult to reprodu... (more)

Beef up params in C# 5 to solve Lambda Abuse

published 773 days, 15 hours, 2 minutes ago posted by KodefuGuruKodefuGuru 774 days, 4 hours, 38 minutes ago
Friday, April 09, 2010 11:37:28 AM GMT Thursday, April 08, 2010 10:01:37 PM GMT
C# 4 introduced named and optional method parameters, which does a fine job of cleaning up method overloads. But a piece of the puzzle was left out. The params keyword could have been combined with named parameters to make it even stronger and address issues others have overcome by abusing other language features. To be fair, params works great with optional parameters. However, it is nearly unusable with named parameters. Here’s an example of using params.static void Main(string[] args) { WriteLi... (more)

A couple months ago, I came across this question over on StackOverflow.  In a nutshell, the question was wondering what people have experienced and recommend on how to go about training an intern developer.  I took the approach of any developer as opposed to focusing solely on an intern level person because to some degree we are all "that" person when we first joining a new company with new practices, products, and code.  My recommendation for that question revolved two ideas.  First, around training the...

C# with keyword equivalent There’s no with keyword in C#, like Visual Basic. So you end up writing code like this:this.StatusProgressBar.IsIndeterminate = false; this.StatusProgressBar.Visibility = Visibility.Visible; this.StatusProgressBar.Minimum = 0; this.StatusProgressBar.Maximum = 100; this.StatusProgressBar.Value = percentage; Here’s a work around to this:With.A (more)

UppercuT – Custom Extensions Now With PowerShell and Ruby

Sunday, March 14, 2010 12:49:12 PM GMT Sunday, March 14, 2010 2:20:26 AM GMT
Arguably, one of the most powerful features of UppercuT (UC) is the ability to extend any step of the build process with a pre, post, or replace hook. This customization is done in a separate location from the build so you can upgrade without wondering if you broke the build. There is a hook before each step of the build has run. There is a hook after. And back to power again, there is a replacement hook. If you don’t like what the step i... (more)

Visual Studio 2010 is almost here – Microsoft just released the first Release Candidate which looks pretty solid and good. Microsoft added new interfaces for performance management solutions like dynaTrace to extend the Web- and Load-Testing capabilities (check out Ed Glas’s blog on what’s in VSTS Load Testing) to go beyond .NET environments and deeper than what Load Testing Reports tell you about the performance of the tested application. But before we go into what can be done by extending Visual Studi... (more)
