Jeff Atwood does it again: his post about Spartan Programming hits the nail! If I did not wirte this before then I have to do it now: if you are a Software developer I encourage you to subsribe tho his blog Coding Horror. I feel good because the way I am trying to write code [...]

Aaron postet two screencasts on his blog showing how to use VIM. I really love VIM – I thought about installing the viPlugin for my favorite IDE Eclipse some months ago. Now these videos made me think again – I think I will give it a try. Checkout the two casts: VIM Screencast 1 – [...]

My booklist

Maybe you have noticed my new booklist widget in the right sidebar. In the last years it occurred very often that somebody asked me if I know a good book on a certain topic. I recommended books to my colleagues, students and friends. Some weeks ago I thought that it would be easier to have [...]

I did never really bother about what fonts to use for programming. The default of the the IDE was fine for me. Then I came across this article of Coding Horror about a month ago. One sentence in the conclusion of it made me think: Please don’t use the default Courier New typeface. Be kind [...]

Some days ago I was asked by a student if I knew a issue tracking system implemented in ASP.NET. He needed one for a study project. I told him that my favorite bug and issue tracking system is still bugzilla. Im am using it for every project since five years now. But maybe there are [...]

I found that Bill Pierce wrote a nice little function that acts like the $() function of Prototype [...]

Some weeks ago I tried to access the ASP.NET Development Server running on my workstation from a virtual machine for testing purpose. I was not able to get a connection. After checked firewall settings, other computers and did some Google searches I gave up because I did not want to spend more time. Today I [...]

I am using CVS since about five years for my daily work. Some may ask why I do not use Subversion which is newer and has more features – the reason is that Eclipse has much better CVS support built in than any third party Subversion plugin offers. For one of my current projects I [...]

If you are used to the perfect combination of Eclipse and JUnit it is a little bit hard work with Visual Studio and NUnit. Staring NUnit as an external program and running your tests works as long as everything does as expected. When you need to set a breakpoint and debug your code you have [...]
