Friday, April 03, 2009 10:19 AM

Kevin has posted about refactoring some simple logic from an ASP.NET page and breaking it out into a separate class (Single Responsibility Principle) to make the code more maintainable. Kevin highlights the classic problem with unmaintainable code and works his way into how to not only improve this code but also how to make it more testable. Don't forget to subscribe...

For once, not blogging wasn't my fault
Tuesday, March 25, 2008 8:09 AM

For the last couple of days, the weblogs.asp.net website has been unable to accept posts from Windows Live Writer.  For the first time in the history of this blog, I can blame someone else for not posting.  In fact, I even started queueing up draft blog posts! :) Kudos to the weblogs.asp.net team for fixing the issue quickly.   We are hiring! ...

Writing "good" code: How do you understand code?
Monday, March 19, 2007 7:22 AM

Live Writer
Friday, March 16, 2007 1:12 AM

This is my second post with Live Writer and so far it seems pretty good. We have been using BlogJet for a while and really like the intuitive interface although it seems like Live Writer has most of the same features. Being able to easily pull up an earlier blog post to make a correction is such a great feature for me since I always spot typos or missing links... Read More...

John Morales is blogging!
Wednesday, December 28, 2005 9:17 AM

John Morales joined thycotic back in October and has been impressing us since the start with his knowledge of keyboard shortcuts (how often do you see *your* fellow developers writing their own macros in VS.NET?), Regular Expressions, Resharper, DotLucene and his ability to solve problems. After a little prodding, we now have him blogging with a few gems already... Read More...
