The Angry Programmer - The meek shall inherit…

http://tap-source.com/the-meek-shall-inherit

Raquo; The meek shall inherit…. The meek shall inherit…. By The Angry Programmer. April 1st, 2012. But the rest of us shall do it properly. I am, of course, talking about the evil that is inheritance. Time after time, this has tripped up many a seasoned developer, including myself. This then came into its own with dependency injection and being able to inject different behaviours instead of having to build more and more complex object models. Reuse was back with a vengeance and so was my fervour.

Archive for ‘June, 2012’. By The Angry Programmer. June 6th, 2012. Well, those idiots over at linked-in have let 6 million passwords loose on the internet. And what’s their advice? To simply change your password. What the hell are they on about? Given that people use passwords across multiple sites and maybe even their banks, this is poor advice. What they really mean is change your […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry….

The Angry Programmer - Eye Pad?

http://tap-source.com/eye-pad

Raquo; Eye Pad? By The Angry Programmer. March 27th, 2012. Those crazy guys over at tobii. Have a gadget to help track your eyes when using a laptop. It’s an infrared projector and receiver that tracks where your eyes are looking. In demonstrations, they’ve shown it switching between word documents, depending on which one your looking at. Now, we reckon couple that with voice control and you could have a pretty nifty setup. Especially for the disabled. You must be logged in. To post a comment.

The Angry Programmer - Do you want chips with that?

http://tap-source.com/do-you-want-chips-with-that

Raquo; Do you want chips with that? Do you want chips with that? By The Angry Programmer. March 27th, 2012. New smart pills containing microchips are imminent on the high street. These are designed to tell when a patient is taking their medication, but other uses will probably not be far behind. We could probably envisage a time when this is measuring other internals of the body, like temperature, blood pressure, how long you’ve been awake, the list could go on. Hmmm, I feel an app coming on.

The Angry Programmer - Going loco using my POCO

http://tap-source.com/going-loco-using-my-poco

Raquo; Going loco using my POCO. Going loco using my POCO. By The Angry Programmer. April 1st, 2012. I never realised until recently, that the binding mechanism can bind to a POCO. Now, don’t get me wrong, I knew that it could read the properties, but I never realised that it listened for updates as well. Normally I merrily derive from INotifyPropertyChanged (or some suitable base class), call the PropertyChanged event and let the whole thing just work. The same is true of a dependency object.
