I know this may seem like old hat to many, but trust me not all organizations/projects are setup to allow you to easily pull the code from your source repository and compile. I know it is sad, but if you ask me, this is just the tip of the ice burg in terms of what is ultimately wrong with our...

I don't come out often to sing praises for any product, I'd say I even tend to complain more than anything. That said, sometimes I come across a product that strikes all the right chords. Recently I started using Unfuddle and ...just Wow! What a delightful experience. I can't say I was exactly...

One of the immense advantages that ASP.NET MVC has over classic ASP.NET is the clean separation of concerns between the presentation and controller logic.

My current project has an interesting story of being converted across platforms and programming languages. I hope I can talk about this conversion process some day (it was not manual).

Recently I came across this forum message where the author describes a conversation he had in Australia with a recruiter who, at some point, said that: "employers specifically instruct him not to send them World of Warcraft players. He said there is a belief that WoW players cannot give 100% because...

Being a Portuguese-speaking person living in the US, one of the things you have to get used to is the keyboard physical layout and key mappings. You know, Latin-originated languages tend to have thôse wéìrd chãraçtërs , which are really just diacritical marks applied to regular...

Today I started researching and preparing my application for IE-8, or at least knowing what we would need to take care of before its release sometime next year. I started by downloading the VPC image with IE8 beta 2 because it seemed much more convenient than setting up a new virtual machine with XP...

The other day on Twitter Roy Osherove made the statement that he was teaching a class on TDD and he was showing how to use the various Isolation Frameworks. When I read this I had to ask if he talking about Mocking frameworks when he said Isolation frameworks. And indeed he was. As I sat back to reflect...

Tonight's meeting of the Software Craftsmanship Group was led by Uncle Bob Martin . This time around we tried a Randori-style coding dojo . The task was to build a clock and, although we fell short of the original goal of having a GUI, there was plenty to be learned in this process. I felt it was...

*** There may be a better way to do this with StructureMap, but this is the way I was able to get this to work *** Today I decided I wanted to move all my route mapping for Dimecasts out of the Global.asax file and into each of the various Controllers. I wanted to do this for two reasons. I was starting...

In all my years of doing .Net I have to say that I finally came across the exception message that takes the cake. Today while trying to do some refactoring on the DimeCasts.net code base I received this exception. Operation could destabilize the runtime I received the error while trying to update some...
