Getting IronRuby Up and Running

2008-07-16 08:10

I wanted to have a little walk-through on getting IronRuby up and running. I am normally a C# guy and this is usually a C# blog, but I think that exposure to dynamic languages is very important.

Technical Software Project Management is Dead

2008-07-16 05:32

I’ve manage projects, I’ve lead them, I’ve been a developer, I’ve tested, I’ve organized releases, I’ve done all the paperwork. It’s just that lately, that seems to be the role expected from the developer on any given project. Don’t get me wrong, project managers are great. I still have never hired... [阅读全文]

Where did the B in BPM go?

2008-07-16 05:32

BPM and SOA seem to be an inseparable love couple. Though I will not deny that the combination is powerful, I do see a lot of confusion arising because people do not really get what a business process is and use the words “business process” and “orchestration” as if they wer... [阅读全文]

How To Create Your Own Linux Distro

2008-07-16 05:10

Of course all of us Linux geeks would immediately think Linux From Scratch! LFS is definately the way to go, but not all of us have the time or the knowledge (which requires even more time) to go about such project.

Don’t create objects, build them

2008-07-16 04:52

I like the Groovy concept of builders not only for providing a natural implementation of the builder pattern, but you can also look at builders as a way to create handy DSLs. Check out the SwingBuilder, the GraphicsBuilder or the Hibernate Criteria Builder to see how well targeted these DSLs can ... [阅读全文]

Loading Remote Modules in Adobe Air Applications

Love, Hate, and Type Inference

Ever since I started using Scala, I’ve had somewhat of a love-hate relationship with type inference. On the local level, type inference can make code much more concise, easier to read, and easier to refactor. It makes code easier to read because in cases where the type of variable is obviou... [阅读全文]
