Software Development and Other Stuff: August 2009

Software Development and Other Stuff. Saturday, August 15, 2009. UI Design Is Not A Spec! Came across another one of your typical articles from the "Design World", on how us developers are so difficult to work with, and just don't "get it". Http:/ www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/08/14/how-to-effectively-communicate-with-developers/. At the same time, a good designer understands a UI mockup is no substitute for a functional spec. I admire the spirit of the article, but it's just all wrong. Links to this post.

http://www.robkraft.com/2011/03/apples-wwdc-2011-one-hot-ticket.html
Software Development and Other Stuff. Monday, March 28, 2011. Apple's WWDC 2011 - One Hot Ticket. No doubt about it. Apple is on fire. The 2011 World Wide Developers Conference sells out in under 12 hours. And this is at $1,600 per person! While they always sell out, a clear trend is developing. Last years conference took about a week to fill up, and the year before that about a month. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Software Developer and Applications Consultant.

Software Development and Other Stuff: September 2007

Software Development and Other Stuff. Thursday, September 13, 2007. Data bound Winforms and NULL. All I want is a null date . It seems like a rather reasonable request. I have a date column in my database that allows null, and I have a text box bound to that column through a binding source. When my form loads and the date on the current record is null, the control displays nothing. Great, exactly what I expect. That will in fact store your null. Where does the magic string come from?

Software Development and Other Stuff. Wednesday, May 21, 2008. I have finally consolidated all development servers onto a single box, running the free VM-Ware Server. Works great but you do need to throw some fairly well specced out hardware at it. I'm still messing with the individual VM configurations. The server is currently running a Core-2 Quad at 3GHZ, with 4GB Ram. Planning to move to 8GB soon. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. How to Be Spiritual.

Software Development and Other Stuff. Monday, December 08, 2008. Nullable object must have a value. Ah, another modern classic error message from our friends at Microsoft. This one courtesy of the nullable type in C# 2.0 . This little gem pops up when you call the value method on a nullable, that has been set to null, which was the whole point of nullable in the first place. I get it, but why not just return null?

Software Development and Other Stuff. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Business Primitives in Software Development. Great introduction to Business Primitives when designing your applications:. Http:/ codebetter.com/blogs/dru.sellers/archive/2010/01/27/business-primitives-1-2.aspx. Without diving into the source or docs, it's not immediately clear what the parameter represents.
