| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | MVVM: Binding RadioButton groups A question I got recently was how to manage Radio Buttons with bindings – in this instance, the sample code was trying to map a single value to a set of Radio Buttons based on an enumeration set. The original implementation was using a Value Converter to compare the “bound” value with the enumeration value expected for that radio button choice – if it was equal then the converter returned true, otherwise false. This happens because the selected Radio Button itself tells the group to uncheck all the others. cf0 cf1 ///cf3 Game they like to playpar ??cf0 Mark's Blog of Random Thoughts - Friday, January 29, 2010 Christmas reading: Classic essays on software development Some books seem perennially relevant and may never go out of print, books like: • Mythical Man Month by Fred Brooks • Psychology of Computer Programming by Gerry Weinberg • Peopleware by Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister But often you don’t need a full book to make a point.

Allan Kelly's Blog - Saturday, December 22, 2007 IT does matter - at least sometimes Sometimes Carr is right, commodity hardware and commodity software is good enough, there is no competitive advantage to be gained by going beyond cheap commodity products.

I’ve used some of the Christmas time to rush through to the end of my latest read - Good to Great by Jim Collins (Random House, 2001). ll admit upfront I wasn’t going to read this book but the senior management at my company have been reading it over the last year so I thought I should join in too! Its easy to see why the book has been such a big seller. Its easy to read - short and a chatty style - and it makes you feel good, it suggests you do nice things in your company not nasty things. After all, references do make the book harder to read. Allan Kelly's Blog - Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - IT does matter - at least sometimes
