• Microsoft embraces jQuery

  I couldn't believe it: read ScottGu's blog post . Finally, Microsoft is getting *it*. No need to fight it, no need to exhibit their traditional NIH mindset and create their own (as they have demonstrated many times, not only in the .NET platform...

• Dell goes Ubuntu!

  This is pleasant news: Dell and Ubuntu announced in a joint conference that Dell will be pre-installing Ubuntu 7.04 on some of its desktops and laptops . I have been using Ubuntu "Feisty Fawn" 7.04 for over a week now and I am very much impressed... Posted May 02 2007, 12:03 AM by cruizer with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Open Source, linux

• The Microsoft developer mindset when it comes to open source

  Ayende Rahien and Jeremy Miller brought forth the arguments in their respective blog entries, and I couldn't agree more. In fact I've seen that mindset first hand with my teammates in my previous employer. The first time I discovered test-driven development...

• Cross-Platform C# Slides

  It was merely a coincidence. But just a week after Microsoft and Novell made a highly-controversial deal about Linux, I now probably hold the dubious distinction of being (one of) the first person to do a Linux-oriented presentation in the Microsoft Philippines...

  Maybe you thought that test-driven development is restricted only to platforms like Java and .NET...I'll be happy to inform you that PHP can also do that! Here's my simplest test case using TDD on PHP: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 <...

• Red-Green-Refactor: Test-Driven Development with .NET

  I had the privilege of discussing Test-Driven Development with students yesterday at the MSDN Student Developers' Night and I had a blast! It was encouraging to see students interested in a topic that can be so boring. As promised, I am attaching...

• Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper): a welcome surprise

  If you've read my previous blogs, you'll see that I've been using Ubuntu Dapper Drake (6.06) since it was "Flight 6." I still chose to reformat/reinstall on my notebook instead of just doing an "apt-get upgrade" in order to find out how well it supports...

• A look at MonoDevelop's GUI designer for Gtk#

  Easy-to-use developer tools have, for the most part, been largely Windows-only. I guess that's not true anymore, what with the latest Eclipse IDE and the up-and-coming MonoDevelop IDE . In case you've been living in another planet for quite some time... Posted May 09 2006, 09:14 AM by cruizer with | with 7 comment(s) Filed under: DotNET, Open Source
