My Top 4 Ideal Dev Shop & Product Characteristics, Yours? (compositecode.com)

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? Ideally, I see the development team as a group that should be leading a company with technology. If a team isn’t doing that, they’re likely to be running the risk of appearing as a liability and risk. Often these are the types of teams that ar... read more...

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. It was fun, which led me to working up an actual blog entry related to our kata session. This however, is just me working thr... read more...

HTML5 Feature Support Detection « Composite Code(compositecode.com)

submitted by adron(835) 9 months, 22 days ago

HTML5 is a collect of individual features, that currently are either supported or not by the current array of browsers. The best approach I’ve found at this time, is to write for HTML5 and use other tools to downgrade graceful. The following are some detection techniques that are in use today: Input Types: HTML5 defines over a dozen new input types for use in web forms. For determining which of these new form elements is supported use the following code, per element (yes I know, that’s a pain in the as... read more...

In the previous entry in this series I setup a service using TopShelf. Now it is time to jump into scheduling with Quartz.

JavaScript is pretty easy to develop with, usually only a browser and a text editor is the only thing needed. But seriously, that’s a bit slow going.

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. The reason for this, shockingly, is to allow for a SQL Server to be used by frameworks and systems that normally don’t or can’t access the database directly. 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...

Stubbing a File Stream, Memory Stream, or Stream « Composite Code(compositecode.com)

submitted by adron(835) 1 year, 2 months ago

Here’s the class that has a Func setup as a property. The reason this is setup, is so that the stream can actually be stubbed on the ComplianceReportingJob. Otherwise if the Stream was just being used as is, instantiated in the class, or passed in via injection, we still couldn’t get it mocked or stubbed. Especially if the class ComplianceReportingJob is under test. public class ComplianceReportingJob : IJob { readonly ITradeRepository tradeRepo; readonly IFileSystem fileSys; public Compl... read more...
