Wow, I haven't updated this blog for quite some time. I'm finding out it's true: Twitter kills blogging. Anyway, my VirtualBox how-to article is out! For those of you who have been hiding under a rock (?), VirtualBox is a freely-available virtualization solution that is now owned by Oracle...

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). They're finally including a useful open source...

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 by the software experience. It still has a few...

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, I told my teammate about it. We were experiencing...

Songbird™ is a desktop Web player, a digital jukebox and Web browser mash-up. Like Winamp, it supports extensions and skins feathers. Like Firefox®, it is built from Mozilla®, cross-platform and open source.

These past few days I have been exploring the OpenSource world and have been discovering great things from it. Most of my career so far have focused on Microsoft technologies, making me naive on the alternatives. First experiment: install PHP, MySql and Apache Server. I've read from forums that the...

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 office. OK, it's not a Microsoft event;...

This is part of the fictitious Global Bank project I’ve posted on GotDotNet. What is Web Service Software Factory? The Web Service Software Factory, also referred to as the Service Factory, provides you with a set of proven practices for building distributed applications. These practices are exposed...

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 <?php require_once '../../simpletest/unit_tester...

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 here my slides (in PPT format) and sample code. Those...

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 my notebook's peripherals out of the box. I was...

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 and you have no idea what MonoDevelop is, MonoDevelop...

A package arrived in the mail today...copies of Ubuntu Linux 5.10 (Breezy Badger), straight from Canonical! I'll give away three copies of this to the lucky bloggers who create a blog post here in devpinoy.org entitled "Why should Cruizer give me free Ubuntu Linux 5.10". Apologies to keithrull for stealing...
