Continuous Integration with The Simpsons™(codeclimber.net.nz)

submitted by simonech(10.1k) 5 years, 1 month ago

Continuous Integration is useless if nobody knows about the results of the builds in a timely way. So why not shouting it with a "DOH!!" whenever a build is broken and with a "WOOHOO!!" whenever a build is successful? Download these 2 audio files and a few other here. read more...

An Open Letter to Scott Guthrie(elegantcode.com)

submitted by Lord(3737) 5 years, 2 months ago

Speaking and working with developers who live daily with your tools, I find confusion and concern over your relationship to the open source community that has grown up around the .Net platform. While Sun, IBM, other platform providers, and ISVs clearly see the open source community as a complimentary codebase to their products, Microsoft tends to use the best and brightest work from the community space as a feature map for .Net. read more...

Who Tests The Tests?(haacked.com)

submitted by Haacked(5105) 5 years, 2 months ago

If, according to TDD, you should write unit tests before you write the tests. Shouldn't you write tests for the tests, since the unit tests themselves are code? This post explains how to avoid Zeno's paradox here. read more...

The reason why OSS isn't big in MS/.NET land?(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by gavinjoyce(25.7k) 5 years, 5 months ago

"The reason is simple: Money. Microsoft land and now also .NET land has been and will be for some time to come a land where people are more or less thinking like "Oh, I need a control/tool for this, let's purchase a license of a commercial one I saw in an ad.". In the Java land and also in other areas, like of course the Linux world, people think in general a little different: If you need it, you either download a free, open source one, and if that one sucks, either improve it or write a better one." read more...
