Code is Not That Important, Marketing Is(itscommonsensestupid.blogspot.com)

submitted by nsoonhui(1810) 2 years, 9 months ago

When I was in my early days as a software developer, I thought that the most important aspect for a software product organization, was software development. Code was everything and the single determiner of the success. But as I grow in maturity ( meaning suffering enough bumps on head), I gradually come to the realization that the above just-improve-your-code-and-you-do-fine theory is a total nonsense read more...

Does RentACoder.com Work?(itscommonsensestupid.blogspot.com)

submitted by nsoonhui(1810) 2 years, 11 months ago

A lot of people ranted against online consulting sites- such as Elance, guru, RentACoder and so on. Of course, given that the bids on those websites are ridiculously low ( at least by developed world's standard), one would tend to assume that the quality would vary proportionally with the bids. Whether you think those websites are cannibalizing the software craft, or whether online consulting sites are a force that flattens the world, one thing is certain: online consulting sites work. read more...

What's Wrong with Strongly Typed Dataset Designer(itscommonsensestupid.blogspot.com)

submitted by nsoonhui(1810) 3 years, 3 months ago

I might be beating a dead horse here.But strongly typed dataset was giving me so much hard time that I have to rant about it. Actually strongly typed dataset is quite handy if all you have to do is just need to query or update a single table. The problem is that the real world is far less ideal than that. When you apply a suboptimal tool on a complicated, messy real world situation you are going to face a lot of problems. And this was exactly what happened when I was using strongly typed dataset designer in my work. read more...

How to use App.Config to set the Connection String for Strongly Typed (itscommonsensestupid.blogspot.com)

submitted by nsoonhui(1810) 3 years, 3 months ago

Strongly typed dataset is a good thing... well, sort of, if you just need a quick and dirty Data Access Layer for your Microsoft Access backend in your .net code. What is unknown to many is that it is possible to set the the connection string of a strongly typed dataset from App.Config file. This is extremely handy if you have to deploy your application on client's computer because you can compile the application once and just change the config file when the application is installed on client's computer. This is a post that demonstrates how to do this. read more...

Is LINQ Becoming a Monster?(itscommonsensestupid.blogspot.com)

submitted by nsoonhui(1810) 3 years, 4 months ago

I love LINQ . It gives the developers the power to query databases and lists in a manner far more succint, readable and elegant than that could otherwise be obtained via traditional looping methods ( you know, the combination kinds of for, if ) that normally result in lines and lines of code, methods and sub-methods calling. But after using it for quite sometime, I found that LINQ could be a bit prohibitive. Prohibitive in the sense that you always have to write LINQ expressions that are big, complicated, ugly and undecipherable at times. read more...
