I’ve reached a conclusion over these past few weeks. I need a break from posting things relating to code. I’m currently at a point in time, where I have little to share. So, the next few posts will be in Danish and about politics. There is an upcoming election for parlament that I need to [...]
It’s been a while since I last wrote anything about DDD/BDD. Since MS decided to give some Spanish developers the chance to create a DDD manifesto (of sorts) with the N Layer App, I’ve been meaning to take it up again. First of all – I have not read their e-book cover-to-cover, and I have [...]
This time, the shift is almost as big as it can be. Going from a WPF app to a ASP.Net MVC is not a trivial shift. Luckily, we have done several things right to enable such a change. Our WPF app consumed a WCF service – so the first month or so has been mostly [...]
This post is inspired by my comment on this article. Basically, his (John Sommez) premise is that if we did not have rules, we’d be dead. Okay, that was the devil reading the bible there for a minute. Don’t get me wrong, I think rules are a good way of learning a craft – memorize [...]
I’ve been doing a lot of performance tuning the last few days using the NH profiler. We use Linq2NHibernate next-to-exclusive – so, I know, we could have solved the problems, I’m about to describe, using all the other query-mechanisms in NHibernate. First off, there are some NotSupportedExceptions still in the Linq-implementation – e.g. you have [...]
So, I’ve been writing pretty much since Christmas on and off. I pretty quickly switched to LaTeX instead of Open Office. I downloaded the ‘book’-template and just copied everything in from the old document and have not looked back since. It is a joy writing as I would code – no fuss, no irritation, just [...]
Having threatened to do this for a number of years – I’ve finally decided to give it a go. It will be fun to see how it turns out – so far the idea is to write a book about how I develop software. It will be very hands-on and targeted at experienced developers. The [...]
This post originates from this StackOverflow question. At work, we’re working on a solution which should include some kind of version-control document-store to be shared between users. As some of our customers are not that skilled with computers, we had a few extra requirements: Should be seamless worked into the application Should auto-commit when a [...]
Or how to create a minimalistic chat-client using WPF and WCF in 75 lines of code (according to VS). What I want to show with this example application is the bare minimum for achieving cross-client notifications (or at least one way of doing it). For those of you who want to jump right ahead to [...]
When you have multiple clients working on the same data – concurrency rears it’s ugly head. How to handle two users loading the same data – and both of them editing it and trying to save it back to the DB. There is no way to keep everyone happy when this happens – either Last-In [...]
