Programming Practices: Part 2 – Thoughts on TDD - Brian Harry

Well, it seems the last post wasn’t too controversial. Let me try something that might be a bit more controversial. Heck, it might even get some people down right agitated with me but that’s OK, disagreement is a useful tool to drive clarity and understanding. I don’t like Test Driven Development. I don’t just not like it, I think it’s a bad idea. How’s that for an inflammatory statement? Probably gonna make the cool kids black ball me :) I don’t sp... (more)

Thanks for all your insights on what is attractive or unattractive about job postings, and about working on developer tools. A great many of the comments were strongly aligned with each other; no one likes “alphabet soup”. And a number of them illustrated that there is a wide spectrum of what people find attractive and unattractive.

WPF and Text Blurriness, now with complete Clarity - Scott Hanselman

The #1 complaint I hear about WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is that many fonts end up looking "blurry." It's a darned shame because really great applications like Evernote get criticized because of this one issue*. The blurriness happens on .NET 3.5 and below because WPF's graphics system is "device independent" so rendering happens independent of resolution. It makes apps DPI-aware for free and scales them nicely. Unfortunately MOST people are running on 96dpi screens and that's where you'd ex... (more)

Millions of 404s are delivered every day. We are reporting on missing pages, but not on missing children. He includes a simple PHP solution. I set out to create an ASP.NET solution, but then realized that a server-side solution wasn't really necessary. Could I do it all on the client side? This way anyone co... (more)

When I’m building prototypes in WPF or working on a GUI spike in an agile development team I often find it really unproductive to continuously switch between working in XAML (with my designer hat on), and working on the plumbing code (with my C# hat on). Wouldn't it be nice to be able to model my data in XAML, and seamlessly use it with XAML Binding expressions that’ll be valid once the ‘real’ data gets plumbed in. Well, thanks to the dynamic features in CLR v4 this is now a trivial task. Firstly lets... (more)
