submitted by adron(835) 7 months, 4 days ago

What is an ideal software project? What is an ideal delivery cycle? What is an ideal culture? From a client’s perspective do they see the team as a sluggish liability or is the development team proactive and looking for the next strategic or tactical step to take?

Code Katas: Kicking off With a Little JavaScript « Composite Code(compositecode.com)

submitted by adron(835) 7 months, 29 days ago

BEWARE, this is a crazy long post. So before you jump in for a read, just know that it isn’t a two minute read. A few days ago, my friend Aeden Jameson (@daliful) asks, “you want to work through a code kata this weekend?” I thought, well yeah, that’d be cool. So we met at Cafe Fiore and hacked out the beginning of a Kata based on the Roman to Arabic and Arabic to Roman Numerals.

A SQL Server .NET ASP.NET MVC RESTful Web Services Facade – Part I(compositecode.com)

submitted by adron(835) 10 months, 5 days ago

Did I get enough of the acronyms and key words in the header?  It looks like soup!  :O This is a somewhat messy project to build a prototype layer around SQL Server.

In my particular scenario we’re working on getting Ruby on Rails running with JRuby in a Windows Environment. Because we will need to utilize a lot of SQL Server Databases, it seemed l... read more...
