Introduction Since I went to be a freelancer some months before, I am lucky enough to participate in a lot of interesting projects. The most recent one is about creating surveys. What’s the topic? A catalog of questions shall be configured. Questions can be hierarchical, rely on parent. Just one level. Questions are defined with […]

Do you start with the data or with the test?
I recently had some discussions about TDD. I personally never tried to accomplish the procedure seriously. So I wanted to invest a little time to understand if it does fit to my needs, especially if it is more effective in short and long term perspective. I wanted to use a simple example. Not too complex and […]
Logging with log4net and Windsor Castle in c#
Quite a while ago I had a good talk with an colleague about “to log or not to log – that is the question”. 😉 That was a longer discussion, and a lot of questions had been raised: Shall we do logging? What shall be logged out? Should we create a log library by ourselves to […]

The very first things that developer see are the assemblies and the folder structures. Let me first put some bad examples for assembly […]
Coding principles: The difference between defensive and offensive programming
I put together a list of strategies, rules and best practices for our team. This is not any unusual stuff, but (IMHO) a sensible and smart set of rules to follow to be able to write extensible, maintainable, understandable, testable, robust,… *TooManyAdjectivesException* …code. To follow the evolution of methodic and what are the coding principles we do […]
Evolution of methodic: Melting the metal
Let me take you to a short journey how I started with programming, where it went to, and how the actual methodic, thinking and doing evoled. This will have the following posts: It all started with i=i+1 Melting the metal Going to Windows 3.11, I need (MS) access Why is there any system without a database? Going to VB6 […]
What’s wrong with that: Do not only code the happy case
Last pull request I’ve opened was some kind of disappointing. When going through the code files, I detected a lot of… questions marks above my head. We do use pull requests for two reasons actually: The need for doing review sessions goes down dramatically The team learns to improve each other while not being upset when anthing […]
