    So, I’ve got some rough goals for myself from Kaizenconf… (in no particular order) I’m going to make really learning the MVC framework a higher priority so our team here can have enough info to consider whether to move the team that way eventually… I mean, of course we will, but I’ve got to have…

    This is a lot of fun.  I’m definitely learning, meeting lots of people who were previously only blog photos/email addresses to me, and I’m having a great time too.  Also, there’s some VB.NET – converted stuff I’ve been alerted I should post.  Woohoo, contributing back in my own tiny way.  Consider this my reminder to…

    I started reading Eric Evans’ book Domain Driven Design.  (Seemed like one of those foundation books you have to have read if you want to be a certain type of developer)  I decided to give it a go after I got about halfway through the “Domain Driven Design Quickly” pdf – it seemed interesting enough…

    Woohoo! Just came back from lunch and my invite was waiting in my email!  I’m going to KaizenConf!  See you all in Austin! List of Invitees Interestingly, the list seems to be in first-name alpha order, so at the moment, I’m #1 on the list.  Wild.

  • Windsor, for real

    So, I finally got an implementation of an IoC Container (Castle Windsor) set up and being used in a production environment…. Based on the whole settings things up for mocking, it became very clear why they were needed! On a current project, I’d set up and gone though writing tests as I went along.  It…

    Attended an AlamoCoders meeting tonight.  Interesting talk on jQuery by John Teague. I’d previously seen Front-End Developers doing stuff with it, but I didn’t really “get” it-not that I’d looked into it, or tried… what with struggling to pick up nHibernate, DI, and that whole world of things, I felt like my plate was already…

    So, back to blogging… (the whole moving, changing jobs, losing boxes, and generally throwing my life in disarry made expounding on topics an admittedly lesser priority)  in the past week or so, I’ve looked into Moq, mostly on the basis of it being the newer, cleaner, super-awesome mocking framework.  I’d played with Rhino Mocks in…

    So, I’m working on heading to San Antonio-permanently! I’m still locking down details about exactly when and how, but I’ve started my research on tech groups in the area. Unfortunately, I don’t see an Alt.Net specific group down in San Antonio like the fantastic DC Alt.Net group, but I’ve found Alamo Coders, which sounds like…

    OK, this is a bit late, but last week we had the monthly DC Alt.Net meeting. On a bit of a different spin, the topic of the week was Lisp, led by Craig Andera. I hadn’t done any Lisp save for some very, very simplistic stuff back in the college Programming Languages course, so it…
