I woke up yesterday to find Twitter abuzz with heated tweets by various developers. I live about halfway around the globe from the US so I'm quite used to situations like this, and looking for the news post or product announcement that caused it. In this case, it was an innocent-sounding blog post...

Welcome to part two of our series on building a Windows application using test-driven development (TDD). In the previous article we drove the design of our entity classes and data access layer by means of unit tests. The unit tests acted more as specifications for the system rather than tests, since...
Just in case you haven't seen this yet: http://www.codethinked.com/category/IronRuby-via-C-Series.aspx I'm sure it's a handy tutorial for learning Ruby (using IronRuby for .NET) the language if you've already got C#/.NET background. I personally think the DLR will become a huge thing...
I really like continuous integration . Having come from a company that didn't practice it at all (this was a time I used to regularly work 12 to 16 hours a day), I was so happy when I got into a company that actually practiced it. I found it to be a really effective mechanism to ensure that developers...
JP Hamilton has posted a brief blog post on how he unit tests WinForms . Looks nifty, especially if you use a pattern like Model-View-Presenter for your forms. His rationale is that if you keep on testing only the presenter and mocking out the view in your unit tests, your forms code still gets zero...
It was my first time to join a community event in Singapore during yesterday's Heroes Community Launch and it was a blast! It was also cool to see that of nine presentors during the event, three of us are Pinoys. I definitely am looking forward to meeting more of the community people soon. First...
I will be speaking tomorrow at the Heroes Community Launch 2008 here in Singapore with my favourite (boring?!) topic...Unit Testing! Only this time it's about the testing framework that comes with Silverlight 2's beta release. Kinda excited and nervous at the same time, since it'll be my...
The previous incarnation of that Microsoft article was heavily panned by critics and in a rare move, Microsoft actually pulled it out of its developer web site. I didn't realise it but Microsoft actually replaced it with one written by Jeffrey Palermo -- http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730844...
This InfoQ link on pipelined CI got my attention because it was something that I can relate to. The project we're working on used to build on our CruiseControl.NET build server in only three minutes; now it's taking more than 18 minutes to complete. And it's a dual-core 2 GB machine at that...
