  • The Videos for NDC 2009 are online

    The links to the videos recorded for NDC 2009 talks are online and linked in the agenda pages here . My talks are at: Lessons Learned from a Long Lived Codebase Presentation Patterns for Composite Applications (I'd dearly appreciate feedback from folks on this talk) Convention over Configuration...

  • Talking conventions with the Hanselman

    Scott Hanselman posted a podcast he & I recorded at NDC last week. We nominally talked about applying conventions and opinionated software to .Net, then we went off on every possible tangent that presented itself.

  • NDC 2009 Wrapup

    I’m on my way back from the Norwegian Developer’s Conference in Oslo this past week. I had a fantastic time meeting some new people, hanging out with friends, interacting with a couple heroes, and seeing a little bit of Norway. Special thanks to Anders Norås for inviting me to NDC....

  • Dogfooding

    For the most part, I try to dogfood all new versions and flavors of StructureMap and StoryTeller at Dovetail. Just in case my boss reads this, that's largely okay because all of StoryTeller and many StructureMap enhancements are built for Dovetail to begin with. Today I hit an issue with the brand...

  • A Quiet Milestone

    I wouldn't read too much into this, but while I was giving my talk at the Austin .Net User's Group last night I asked the crowd how many people were doing some form of Agile or just plain iterative development. Almost every hand in the room went up. I'm sure not everyone is doing it well...

  • Convention over Configuration at ADNUG on Monday the 8th

    For all of you in Austin or thereabouts, I'll be speaking this coming Monday at Adnug on " Conventions over Configuration ." I hope to see you there (and at Rudy's afterwards).

  • Yes, I'm going to finish "Build Your Own CAB" (sorta)

    Over the past couple years I've received quite a bit of positive feedback on my " Build Your Own CAB " series on design patterns for building desktop applications. Unfortunately, a lot of the feedback is " it'd be really nice if you'd get around to finishing the series ."...

  • Persistence Patterns: Cascading Updates

    This content was cut from my most recent MSDN article on Persistence Patterns for length and possibly quality. What the heck, it's an important topic that throws some people off and it's also something that many people who are new to ORM's frequently don't understand. I'm also misusing...

  • More Persistence Patterns in MSDN

    EDIT: I missed something the first time around. If some persistence tool makes it so that I can only put business logic in my domain models using a partial class, that's an automatic FAIL! My latest article in the Patterns in Practice column is in the June edition of MSDN Magazine. This time around...

  • The Joys and Pains of a Long Lived Codebase -- The Video

    InfoQ just posted the video from my talk at QCon San Francisco 2008. In this talk I went over some of the harsh lessons I learned from 5+ years of working with the StructureMap code, including: How classic "Big Noun" classes grew out of control and how moving to more role-centered abstractions...

  • Looking at 6 month old code...

    ...and I'm not horrified (much) at what I'm seeing. Is it: A.) That the code is really okay B.) I haven't learned anything new in the past 6 months C.) I just haven't looked hard enough UPDATE: As we learned in school from our experiences with standardized testing, the answer is always...

  • Sneek Peek at StoryTeller (i.e. my FitNesse killer for .Net)

    I've gotten pinged 4-5 times in the past week about just where I'm at with StoryTeller development. I think I'm finally closing in on something that I could release at least as a preview. Just to prove that I'm still working on it, here's a sneek preview of the tool. I'm tentatively...

  • Revitalizing a Technical Career

    A good friend of mine recently asked my how he might go about revitalizing his career. I'm putting some words in his mouth here, but I'm pretty sure that he's interested in getting back into hands on development and moving away from a strictly managerial role. In his case, he is/was a very...

  • My Quick Oversimplified ASP.Net MVC Pros and Cons

    There's been a lot bouncing back and forth about whether the ASP.Net MVC (and the MVC manner of building web apps in general) is a good thing or not. I'd propose summing it up in two bullet points: CON: The ASP.Net MVC framework *is* half baked . It isn't usefully opinionated in the slightest...

  • See you at NDC 2009 in Oslo

    For those of you in that part of the world, I'll be speaking at the Norwegian Developers Conference in Oslo, Norway on June 17-19, 2009. It's an incredible lineup taken straight from the author names on my programming bookshelf with a pretty decent ALT.NET lineup as well. For my part, I'm...
