Is there a future for Fit testing?

I use Fit testing and I'm even building a tool for easier test creation and management of Fit tests. I've used it to drive web UI's, WinForms UI's, logic in domain model classes, web services, and even a polling windows service. Some things have gone well and others haven't. My dilemma...

My Menu State Management Article from Build a CAB is now online

The entire content is now online as a page on my site at: Build your own CAB #14: Managing Menu State with MicroController's, Command's, a Layer SuperType, some StructureMap Pixie Dust, and a Dollop of Fluent Interface Community Server really, really didn't like this post and just wouldn't...

The Build Your Own CAB Series Table of Contents

Yes, this is overdue. Here is an introduction and table of contents to my "Build Your Own CAB" series of blog posts on designing WinForms applications. You'll see nothing here about user experience and not much WinForms technology. That stuff is covered quite well in a hundred different...

Announcing the ALT.NET Open Spaces Event

I've been excited for this for quite awhile, and now we can finally talk about it. Scott Bellware made the first official announcement last night . In early October, there is going to be a three day event hosted in Austin, Texas. The theme of the conference is the ALT.NET idea and theme identified...

Build your own CAB #14: Managing Menu State with MicroController's, Command's, a Layer SuperType, some StructureMap Pixie Dust, and a Dollop of Fluent Interface

THIS ARTICLE IN ITS ENTIRETY IS HERE. The title is a mouthful and accurately implies an alarmingly high jargon to code ration, but I just didn't see anyway to write this post without straying into all of these different subjects. When you try to write an explanatory article you have to walk a tightrope...

You're a TDD newbie on a project team with Jeremy, what do you do?

I was cranky the day I wrote this, can you tell? DO take TDD seriously or Jeremy will ride you mercilessly persistently remind you to do so. If you think writing unit tests is hard with the project's current approach, DO talk with Jeremy about changing the approach, or just DO IT and show Jeremy...

Answering Questions

I'm awful at returning emails. It was even one of my new year's resolutions to reply to emails faster. The last couple weeks I've had a very hard time answering correspondence and I need to catch up. I'm publishing my answers here because some of them are common questions, and others...

C# -- I don't care if it's Rubenesque as long as it's Rubyesque

A week or so back David Ing raised a concern that the new language features in C# 3.0 are bloating the language. Jim Downing adds to the conversation by asking if C# if Fit or Fat . I certainly understand their concerns, but for me, waiting for the new C# 3.0 features is like being a 5-year old on Christmas...

Where do Presenter's come from, and upcoming stuff

I had a good question on my Build a CAB series today. "Where does the Presenter get instantiated?" It depends. For me, it's always StructureMap instantiating a Presenter instance and filling it with its dependencies including the View. Occasionally I'll pass the View in via some sort...

A Train of Thought - July 10th 2007 Edition

Just for fun, I'm going to try to keep each section under 3-4 sentences, and finish in under an hour. That's bookkeeping, not project management JIRA, Microsoft Project, VSTS, whatever. Fiddling with a project management tool is not project management. Project management is communication, analysis...

What I've already done to be a better developer

After the last post, I thought it might be worth talking about the things that have already led to me becoming a better developer. Converse - That's it. As often as possible, talk about developing software development with other developers. Cultivate personal relationships. Talk to people that disagree...

How I'm, sigh, going to become a better developer

I was perfectly content to sit out this meme started by a bunch of wacky Canuck's, but Bil Simser tagged me . It's not really this bad, but it always feels like you're never quite as good as you wish you were. Every time I think I've arrived at my career destination, I just learn something...

The books that influenced me

In an email today I was asked "What books did you find most influential in your professional career?" Honestly, I've been much, much more influenced by the people I've worked and interacted with. For that matter, blogs and podcasts pack a lot of intellectual punch these days. That being...
