Andrew Rimmer's blog on software development and productivity. Archive for the ‘General’ Category. Vista x64 Tipping Point. I have recently built a new development machine and had a difficult decision to make in regards to whether to go with x64 Vista or x86. It wasn’t an easy decision, or a particularly obvious one. Due to Vista x64 demanding only signed drivers can be installed, there OS should. Be more stable than its 32 bit sibling. Lack of true 64 bit software. In the end I went for Vista x64, mostl...

Andrew Rimmer's blog on software development and productivity. Archive for October, 2012. Entity Framework dramatically faster in .NET 4.5. The Entity Framework is often shown lagging behind in performance comparisons with other ORM’s, especially when micro ORM’s are also included in the mix. For example the Dapper benchmarks. Show the Entity Framework in a distant last place when testing SELECT mapping and serialization. These results have been charted on the excellent ServiceStack website. On Entity Fr...

Andrew Rimmer's blog on software development and productivity. The Start Menu is so last year. I installed an application a couple of months ago that revolutionised how I use my computer. No other utility or application in the Windows XP era has even come close to the sort user experience improvements this application has brought. So what is it? What’s it called? How much is it? It is a program launcher called Launchy. And it is free. August 23rd, 2007 at 6:01 pm. Mail (will not be published) (required).

Mocking Jon Skeet | at Out of memory
http://www.outofmemory.co.uk/mocking-jon-skeet
Andrew Rimmer's blog on software development and productivity. I have been using Balsamiq. A mockup tool) a lot since I purchased it a few weeks ago. It had the likeability factor from the off, and has proved pretty useful. Balsamiq is a little different in that it is very specialised; it is designed to do mockups and very little else. It has almost no learning curve to get started, and produces nice looking mockups. As a result it doesn’t. Nit picking about different elements. Went from concept to design.

The Entity Framework is often shown lagging behind in performance comparisons with other ORM’s, especially when micro ORM’s are also included in the mix. For example the Dapper benchmarks. However things have changed in .net 4.5 and the Entity Framework is no longer the slouch it once was. Statements against a DB and map the data returned to objects.
