  • Getting started with BDD style Context/Specification base naming

    I have received a number of good responses from people who have a couple of aesthetic issues with the BDD style naming that I am starting to use. Let me clarify, I have been using the natural sentence style test naming since Scott introduced me to it in earlier in the year. I have not used the context...

  • Updated BDD Naming Macro

    After an awesome session pair programming with Scott the other day, I am going to start taking advantage of natural sentence style naming for not just my test method names, but the names of the test fixtures themselves. The name of the fixture will now become the context for the tests inside of that...

  • Setting The Record Straight - My Thoughts On The MVP Variants (for web applications)

    Having received a bunch of emails in the past couple of weeks from people who have been asking me questions with regards to Passive View/Supervising controller patterns for web applications. I needed to let people know that for the last couple of months I have been developing web apps in a completely...

  • code.google.com/p/jpboodhoo!!!

    I finally set up a googlecode project to host source code for the various things I have been doing over the last year. The first major significant contribution is of course the code drop that I promised a week ago now!! The application is the start of what I hope will evolve to be a great learning resource...

  • Alternative To ALT-INS For ReSharper Junkies

    Everyone who knows me knows what a big keyboard junkie I am. When I am typing on my MacBook keyboard and not my natural (or datahand). There is not Insert key that I can use when in ReSharper. I know that there are utilities to remap keys to emulate the insert key, but I am not going to get into those...

  • Update To VS2008 Issue

    Thanks to everyone for all of the feedback. In the end, the first response that I tried was to install the latest copy of VisualSVN (I was running a slightly older version). After installing the latest version of VisualSVN everthing is functioning as expected.

  • VS2008 - Bringing Attention To An Issue

    Well, today I installed VS2008 on my machine. Setup went great and completed with no errors. This was a fresh install on a machine that had no prior beta bits installed whatsoever. So I did not anticipate anything weird happening. Fired up VS2008 for the first time and it went through its normal first...

  • Static Gateway - Part 2

    In the last installment I left off with a class that served as a Static Gateway for Logging functionality. The nature of the members being accessed statically allowed for pure syntactic sugar for clients who wanted to consume logging functionality. I got a lot of feedback from people who made comments...

  • Stop Reading - Start Doing

    I had to laugh when I read “ TDD Ain’t No Snowboarding from Alessandro Burrato . It is a direct counter to my TDD is Like Snowboarding post!! His experience of TDD is very different than the experience I documented based off of my experience introducing it to clients. And I feel that his...

    The title says it all. Looks like I will be prepping a new VMWare image in a couple of hours!! Now the JetBrains people have a good target to aim at with getting a release out that supports the RTM of VS2008!! Develop With Passion

The course that I am going to be offering in college station is a new course that I am delivering titled Nothin But .Net Fundamentals . This course is radically different than my Nothin But .Net course in that...

  • The Expert Mind

    An article , that David Truxall was kind enough to leave a comment about, explains beautifully what I was trying to convey in my Tale of two sons story. If you have a mentor, or someone you look up to as an expert in an area that you currently feel lacking. Maybe this article can give you some insight...

  • You know as much as you know "right now"

    Having had a lot of conversations with people over the last couple of weeks on strategies that have worked in my life to help ensure that I maintained my focus, I thought I would share a tip that my Dad gave me a long time ago. “There will always be someone who knows more than you do” Such...

  • A tale of two brothers

    (This story is purely fictional, although I am sure that in the course of history it is very likely that something similar happened) One day a husband and wife were blessed with a double miracle in the form of 2 identical twin sons. Within the first 4 years of their lives it had become evident that God...

  • Building a culture of integrity

    I had to laugh a little. The one blog post that I wrote this year which also generated the most comments is the only one with a hint of negative sound to it!! I have to stress one thing and people need to hear me when I say this. I am completely in acknowledgment of the fact that people make mistakes...
