My team is building some new awesomeness for Visual Studio and having fun conversations along the way. Here is the latest thing we are tossing about and we would like your help in thinking it through. A given class may be referenced many ways in code. Not all of those ways are things we think [...]
Ever wondered about all the commands and keyboard bindings in Visual Studio? Ever wondered how many different ways exist to run a given command? I wondered how many keyboard mappings there are in Visual Studio and luckily, Peter Provost has a little VS Add-in up on GitHub that dumps all keys to the Output window. [...]
After a fresh install of Visual Studio, I often re-configure some options and setup keyboard bindings. This tends to be a bit of a pain as each and every time I have to remember what setting is in what U.I. configuration pane and how do I find/configure that again? I also will often forget about [...]
I noticed this blog post from Scott Hanselman the other day about Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop. This post included a screenshot from the installation program. Something that really took me by the throat is this: Notice that the Express edition of Visual Studio seems to require no less than 4.15 GB of [...]
One of my favourite drinking topics with fellow geeks right now is a software bucket list. What are the things that you would love to write before the end of your career. No limits. Write a list and compare with others. This makes a great interview question too. Forget ‘learning android’ or JavaScript. What are [...]
A while back I wrote about a Slightly modified “CD” Command for PowerShell. Since that point, I’ve made a number of updates and would like to share them. The first change I made was to move the “CD” script in that post to a new location. I’ve greatly extended how I setup my development environment [...]
Last night I gave a talk on PowerShell to the Northern Nevada Software Developers Group. If interested, the presentation material is up on my GitHub account. Thanks to all who attended! Happy Scripting!
There is a thread going around on the Boise Web Techs Meetup group discussing online learning options. A pretty good list going here -
There are many known models for growth. Apprentice/Journey/Master Su/Ha/Ri All essentially say this: Imitate to understand Experiment deliberately to find improvement Someday, maybe, perhaps (based on many variables) : Change the game Kent Beck said it like this, about XP. Do everything as written. After having done that, experiment with variations in the rules. Eventually, [...]
693 days ago (wow), just shy of two years, I typed git push upstream master into Git Bash and pushed out the first public code of Nancy. Since then, and thanks to the fantastic response that we given by the .NET community, it’s been what I’ve spent the majority of my personal coding time on. [...]
