• Silverlight 2 Unit Testing: slides and code

  It was my first time to join a community event in Singapore during yesterday's Heroes Community Launch and it was a blast! It was also cool to see that of nine presentors during the event, three of us are Pinoys. I definitely am looking forward to...

• Cyclomatic complexity and its effect on my code

  Have you heard of the term cyclomatic complexity ? I had my first encounter with it in the current project we're doing at work. One of the senior guys in our project set up our build server, with CruiseControl.NET invoking a tool called SourceMonitor...

• Predictable code

  In my early years of programming, performance was everything. These days, since I don't do system-level programming anymore, code maintainability is more important. Of course that doesn't mean to say that it's OK for my code to suck so many... Posted Jun 12 2007, 07:55 AM by cruizer with | with 9 comment(s) Filed under: DotNET, C#, .NET, code

Then we'll add one feature or behavior at a time until we completely fulfill...

• Static instances in PHP4

  If you've read my previous post s here, you'll notice that I advocate code testability and TDD. One of the key design concepts in achieving this is "inversion of control" or the dependency injection pattern . While I do mostly .NET stuff these days, I...

• Keeping code close to the data -- how I love refactoring

  I've been doing too much OOP that I've "forgotten" already what makes it different from procedural programming. It was funny when my up-and-coming employer asked me that question during my job interview. :) I kept on saying other things but eventually...

• Updated slides and code for TDD

  Yesterday's MSDN event was tiring but I guess it was worth it. Hopefully these slides and demo code help convince you to adopt the test-driven approach to coding. Too bad there were not enough shirts/jackets for everyone. Hmm, I feel envious that the...
