This contest isn't about building a super-mega-ultra-logic-twisting application... It's about taking the challenge and stepping up to show what you got. When I started this challenge I was hoping that a lot of Filipino developers would be interested in taking part in such a contest, especially...

When I was asked by my partner why we need to install resharper , I just can't explain it all. I just said "there are more than 1000 reasons " for us to have it, then he asked how much is the license and decided we'll get it. If he asked again for specifics, I will give him a bad code...

I blogged last year last year about Overriding Equals and GetHashCode . You provide an Equals override if you want to provide value equality on your business objects and normally, you'd use the logical key fields (DB lingo) for comparison.

The beta release of Resharper 3.0 seems to be very buggy for me. First , it was the double Resharper menus with my visual studio installation.

When i saw the changes for Resharper 3.0 , I thought, nahh I'll pass, most features are just the vb support that they have promised. I missed out the new TODO Explorer , which is why i have just installed it in my development machine. Eversince i started out programming in VS.NET, i always use the...

I just revisited Jetbrains' site for updates on their product and i was surprised that they have implemented a new evaluation scheme . Evaluation does not need a license key anymore. I guess it's goodbye for prolonged evaluation for some developers. Some of our developers here are using evaluation...

Resharper just rocks : 31 days of ReSharper
