Cyclomatic complexity and its effect on my code

Have you heard of the term cyclomatic complexity ? I had my first encounter with it in the current project we're doing at work. One of the senior guys in our project set up our build server, with CruiseControl.NET invoking a tool called SourceMonitor...

Updated slides and code for TDD

Yesterday's MSDN event was tiring but I guess it was worth it. Hopefully these slides and demo code help convince you to adopt the test-driven approach to coding. Too bad there were not enough shirts/jackets for everyone. Hmm, I feel envious that the...
