MonoRail Quickly - Screencast(joeydotnet.com)

submitted by jbeninghove(790) 4 years, 5 months ago

Well it was bound to happen at some point. My first screencast. It's a quick walkthrough on how you can get a baseline MonoRail solution up and running. Yeah, I know. Everyone's talking about MS MVC these days, and I'm certainly just as excited about it as anyone else. But MonoRail is still a very nice MVC framework that can be fully leveraged now. read more...

Preliminary thoughts on TDD with MSTest in Orcas(joeydotnet.com)

submitted by jbeninghove(790) 4 years, 11 months ago

Naysawn, the PM for MSTest, asked that I take a look at the new unit testing features of Orcas, after he read my thoughts on the (sad) current state of MSTest. Unfortunately, I haven't yet had a chance to actually fire up the Orcas VPC to play with it, but Naysawn wrote up a couple of posts describing some of the new features coming to MSTest in Orcas. So I figured I'd post some initial feedback on his posts as it relates to TDD... read more...

Creating Composite View Components In MonoRail / Refactoring Exercise(joeydotnet.com)

submitted by jbeninghove(790) 5 years ago

In a previous post, I showed some examples of how to create custom view components in MonoRail and touched on the ability to create composite view components. Since then I've refactored towards the use of interfaces which I think is a cleaner approach, so I thought I'd share. read more...

Agile Leadership and Coaching (Development Manager’s Need to grow up!)(lostechies.com)

submitted by agilejoe(860) 5 years ago

With modern business needs changing at a rapid pace, software development must respond in tandem. Agile Development Methodologies promote responding to change, by balancing order and chaos. This is an art form more than it is a practice. All too often have I chatted with development managers who have attempted to enact agile, only to fail. Is it the methodologies fault or a fault in leadership and understanding? read more...

Leveraging 3rd party/OSS tools in a VSTS/TFS environment(joeydotnet.com)

submitted by jbeninghove(790) 5 years ago

In light of the recent TFS vs. OSS debates, I wanted to share how we are using both TFS and OSS tools to work with each other. Speaking as someone who has implemented (and extended!) TFS in a production environment since the early Beta 2 days and am currently using the VSTS/TFS stack, I can say that there is quite a bit of pain involved. But some of that can be alleviated by utilizing both commercial and OSS tools *with* TFS. Here are a few examples of how I (and some of our team) are "filling in the gaps" to make TFS and VSTS a little easier to work with. read more...
