Tangential comments about Software Development. Tuesday, June 27, 2006. Regex, Roman Numerals and TDD. I read a blog. On Roman Numeral Conversion and decided to do the reverse, roman to integer conversion. I wanted to use Regular Expressions as I thought they would allow a neat treatment. And I wanted to use Test Driven Development (TDD) to ensure that I had written what I thought I had written. RomanToInt r2i = new RomanToInt();. Assert.AreEqual(0, r2i.Convert( " ) );. RomanToInt r2i = new RomanToInt();.

I set up Whitespace Software Limited. In 1985. It's a nicely profitable niche player in database systems for insurance and claims handling. I'm now non-executive chairman and work with colleagues on individual projects. I invested in Property Hawk. In 2008. It's a website for landlords of residential properties in the UK. I'm technical director and make sure that the website keeps moving with the users' requirements. Since 2013 I have worked with James Bremner in the Xero.

Tangential comments about Software Development. Friday, September 01, 2006. Agile leadership - make it happy. Brian Marick blogged An unhappy trend: leadership. Which I saw supported on Willem van den Ende's post Just enough structure. I took part in Willem's Drawing Carousel session. This is a sign that there is a desire for co-ordination and overseeing - I’m going to call that leadership. And that self-organising teams may well not put someone in this role.

Tangential comments about Software Development. Sunday, March 19, 2006. This is just a wee bitch about Microsoft's permanent need to improve our programming lives. In this case, it's about rounding numbers to two decimal places. At school, I was taught to round up if the number ended in 5. And that's what the Excel rounding routines (see above) do. It's also what the SQL Server ROUND function does - see below. It is pretty stink, as they say in New Zealand. Posted by bitwix @ 6:09 PM.
