PS: This blog post is in the oven for last 8 months, because I waited for some time to make sure it is not something I wrote because of my feelings. I don’t really think it is unique to Bogazici University, but I see some value in sharing it on Devlicio.us, too. If you can read this, it means that...

Now before you write off this post as being ‘just another silly request’ hear me out. Right now in C# we can do the following switch( someObject ) { case Option1: case Option2: case Option3: // do something break; case Option4: // do something break: } Allowing fall through for a switch statement is...

The other day I posted the question on whether you would rather attend a structured and scripted session at a code camp, or a more free-form one. When I posted this I also posted a link to a short (1 question) poll to try to get everyone’s thoughts. It has been a few days so I thought I would...

All, I was thinking of doing a free-form session on Mocking with Rhino-Mocks for the upcoming Chicago Code Camp (sign up here ). When I say free form, I basically mean I would come prepared with a deck and code examples, but would open it up to the group to decide what is talked about and what direction...

Today I was looking through a sample Asp.Net MVC application and the first thing I noticed is that one of the controllers had 4 repositories injected into the controller (hey, at least they are injected right :) ). The code then went onto to interact with the various repositories in each of the various...

This was done to allow global system usage. Please note you can (and...

In case you did not read one of my past posts where I threatened to break up with R# 4.0 I have moved away from using ReSharper for the time being. Now just to clear something up, I was still using ReSharper 3.1 with any VS 2005 work. I just stopped using it for vs 2008, but now I am back During my time...

Ok, so I know this is a odd question but I am stumped. Normally when I have a private instance level variable that is exposed via a property I format my class file as such. { ..... all instance variables ..... any constructors ..... any public/private/protected methods ..... any properties } Now that...

As I am sure most of you are aware, Microsoft has released the VS 2008 IDE to MSDN subscribers yesterday. I decided to give it a download and take it for a twirl. I thought I would must dump a few random thoughts from my hour or so of 'playing' with it. It appears to be running MUCH faster. However...

Ok, this is an official rant about the .Net Framework 2.0 70-536 Self-Paced Training Kit. I understand that writing a book is difficult, I understand that creating 302 practice test is also difficult. Buy my god, people are using these materials as study aids to pass a cert. Editors, proof read the DAMN...

The company I recently started working for last week is having all of their developers study for and ultimately pass the MCTS tests. Since we are mostly a Client/Server shop we will be taking test 70-536 and 70-526. What I am looking for is the following: Feedback about the actual test Feedback on what...
