8230; I compile my thoughts about programming. What is too simple and small to refactor? Clean Code Experience No. 2). Shortly after reading Robert C Martin. 8216;s Clean Code. I refactored the data access layer from a project I was working on, and was amazed by how much the code improved. It really was night and day. My first clean code refactoring experience. Was an obvious improvement. I’d like to share that second experience with you in this post. So as you can see, this simple method calculates a wo...

8230; I compile my thoughts about programming. I’ve finally moved my blog to my own hosting and my own domain. I did this primarily so I could have more control over the site, and a little more control over the styles and plug-ins. Here’s a few of my recent posts:. Is about my frustration mocking some static methods, the ridiculous hoops I was forced to jump through, and the clean implementation I was finally able to do with Typemock. My take on identifier semantics (Id vs No vs Code vs Key). Be changed ...

Response to Seth Godin’s – Where do ideas come from? « While I Compile

8230; I compile my thoughts about programming. Response to Seth Godin’s – Where do ideas come from? Seth Godin is wrong. I just read Seth Godin’s blog post Where do ideas come from? And in my opinion he completely missed it. Sorry, I think Seth is awesome as do many others, but on this one, I don’t think he really answered the question; where do ideas come from? Instead, in my opinion, what he wrote was more a list of favourable conditions. Ideas come from questions. Ideas are answers to those questions.

8230; I compile my thoughts about programming. Consultants are advisors, not decision makers. I was having lunch with my friend and colleague last week and we had a disagreement about whose decision it is to make a change when you see something wrong in the client’s software. My colleague used an analogy about a mechanic; it was a good one, so I’ll use it here. Be changed immediately (the emphasis is my friends). Change the timing belt ‘. In my opinion the mechanic should. Then make a recommendation.

8230; I compile my thoughts about programming. The UI programmers (not so) secret weapon. Suppose you had software which matches buyers and sellers, and new users are created via a ‘new user’ wizard [1]. Let’s say the wizard has 4 pages for Basic User Info, Review, Processing, and Completion Status Report. And there are 5 buttons; Cancel, Previous, Next, Run, and Finish. Cancel is displayed from the Basic User Info, Review, and Processing pages. Previous is displayed from the Review page. This is especia...
