For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:46-48, NIV) |
I’m trying something new…again. At the end of the month, I’ll publish the most popular/read posts in the last month in case you’re a first time visitor and want to jump straight into the good stuff.
Here are the most popular/read posts for March 2008:
Three Index Cards To Easily Remember The Essence Of Test-Driven Development (2042 […]
As you may have experienced whenever modelling any kind of software design, it gets pretty hard to keep the model in-sync with the software as the code changes over a period of time. It’s even harder to keep both updated if you’re modelling with a different, independent application than your IDE.
Today, for the very […]
This is the second part of a series dedicated to Continuous Integration with .NET. In the first part we managed to install and configure a source control repository with Subversion. Now we’re going to learn how to install and configure TeamCity as our CI build server. At the moment of this writing, version 3.1 is […]
A while back, Scott Hanselman published a post on “Visual Studio Programmer Themes Gallery“. It never occurred to me the idea that maybe a darker scheme could be better for my eyes. That same afternoon, I started to play with some fonts and colors, and came up with the following scheme. This Visual Studio theme […]
Wow! Continuous Integration sure seems to be the flavour of the month this year! I just finished reading a very insightful article on setting up a CI environment by Jay Flowers, creator of CI Factory, on the March 2008 edition of MSDN Magazine. He took good care to discuss the basics practices and key principles […]
<UPDATE>2008-03-20: As noted by Stefan, we don’t need to check the “Use ‘_svn’ instead of ‘.svn’ directories” checkbox of TortoiseSVN’s settings if you’re using Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008.</UPDATE>
In this section, I’m going to describe how to properly install and configure Subversion in Windows. At the moment of writing this post, the […]

What a great joy I had reading, this morning on my way to church, “The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick)“, an 80-pages book written by prolific blogger and marketing guru Seth Godin. The author has an unique writing style that I enjoy very much because he […]
In the course of the next few weeks, I’ll be writing a series of articles on how to set up a Continuous Integration (CI) environment for .NET development using TeamCity as the build integration server (with MySQL as the backend database), Subversion as the version-control server, MSBuild as the software build engine, NUnit as the […]
There are the links I have “del.icio.used” (can we say this?) this past week. Happy reading!
People of the Web - High Wire Act: An article of a great physics professor in MIT and how he goes the extra mile to teach his passion of physics to his students.
Clues For Reading New Code: You’ve been handed […]
As I was reading a couple of ObjectMentor’s blog posts, one of them caught my attention. It was Tim Ottinger’s post on “TDD on Three Index Cards“. He recalls how someone missed part of a class he was teaching on TDD and told that individual the fundamental essence of TDD on three index cards in […]
