This post will focus on code optimization in data access objects (DAOs). Load objects by ID. Object should be loaded by ID whenever possible to benefit from first-level cache (session cache) .

Posted by Perry Hertler : 1:50 PM 0 Comments. Bud Caddell constructed an interesting venn diagram and posted. It on his blog. This motivated me to think about where I am right now in my career. I am probably in the region where What we do well. And What we can be paid to do. Intersect, but probably not entirely in What we want to do.

Perry Hertler - Blog: Is velocity meaningful?
http://blog.hertler.org/2012/07/is-velocity-meaningful.html
Friday, July 27, 2012. If you are estimating based on time to complete instead of relative complexity, NO. If you are using it to compare two different teams, NO. If you are doing just-in-time story estimation in your Iteration Planning Meeting, NO. It’s very likely that one team’s 3 is much different than another team’s 3 . It’s also likely that estimating skills are very different across teams. Can be used to predict release dates based off of yesterday’s weather . Posted by Perry Hertler : 5:43 PM.

http://blog.hertler.org/2010/12/tdd-adoption.html
Friday, December 3, 2010. Many developers I talk to say they have tried TDD, but it didn’t work for them . Why is this so often the case? I believe that the main reasons are 1) it wasn’t done correctly 2) the effort was too quickly abandoned 3) the benefits were not obvious to the developer. 1) It wasn’t done correctly. Doing TDD the right way is beyond the scope of this post. The best ways to learn are. Pairing with a TDD expert. And reading some of the good books on the subject. I really like. It’s a l...
