Selective Unit Testing – Costs and Benefits(blog.codeville.net)

submitted by desmond(2014) 2 years, 6 months ago

Test Driven Development is widely regarded as a hallmark technique of professional software development, but should you really do it all the time? Steve Sanderson argues that unit tests yield significant practical business value only for certain kinds of code. This blog post suggests what might be the underlying forces that determine whether unit tests will justify the long-term expense of creating and maintaining them.

Exclusive Interview With Steve Ballmer: Products, Competition, The Roa(techcrunch.com)

submitted by bobfamiliar(3648) 2 years, 8 months ago

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer visited Silicon Valley on Thursday for his annual meeting with top venture capitalists to talk about Microsoft product strategy. This was his first visit to Silicon Valley since announcing the search partnership with Yahoo in July. I had a chance to sit down with him just after that event for a hour-long one-one-one interview. In the first 10+ minutes of the interview Ballmer gives his high level thoughts on major Microsoft products and strategies (including Windows, Windows Mobile, Internet Explorer, Bing, Azure, Mesh, Natal and others), competition, the future of search and search marketing, Microsoft’s “three screens and the cloud” strategy, the recent acquisition of Interactive Supercomputing and, yes, even his thoughts on Twitter. read more...

Fun With Method Missing and C# 4.0(haacked.com)

submitted by developmentalmadness(730) 2 years, 8 months ago

Ruby has a neat feature that allows you to hook into method calls for which the method is not defined. In such cases, Ruby will call a method on your class named method_missing. I showed an example of this using IronRuby a while back when I wrote about monkey patching CLR objects. Typically, this sort of wild chicanery is safely contained within the world of those wild and crazy dynamic language aficionados, far away from the peaceful waters of those who prefer statically typed languages. Until now suckas! (cue heart pounding rock music with a fast beat) read more...

Asp.Net vs php : Speed Comparison(naspinski.net)

submitted by naspinski(610) 2 years, 11 months ago

Why is the myth that php is faster than Asp.Net so prevalent? Asp.Net is faster than php, here are the facts. So many times I have heard php pushers claim that php is so much faster than Asp.Net and that Asp.Net is clunky and slow. The most annoying part is that everything I have read (that is not factless opinion), and I mean everything, says that this is wrong; but for some reason, this myth is widely accepted. It has become a religious argument that ignores the facts... read more...
