| The Latest from Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog | MORE | | Getting Things Done with Backpack and 37Signals If you haven't started using GTD yet, I recommend that you read the book. [Note: You can download this post as a PDF.]. Here's an article about Getting Things Done and how I use Backpack from 37Signals to make it happen. I've recently taken on some roles where I have a lot more loose-ends in my life and adopting Getting Things Done (GTD) has really helped manage everything. I'm also a huge fan of the 37Signals suite of products ( Backpack , Basecamp , etc). That should be obvious from what we're doing over at ChatPast with integrating instant messaging and 37Signals applications. Thanks! Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Sunday, January 30, 2011 The NoSQL Movement, LINQ, and MongoDB - Oh My! Michael Dirolf also has a great book in the works. You can catch a preview of it on Safari Books Online. Maybe you’ve heard people talking about ditching their SQL Servers and other RDBMS entirely. There is a movement out in the software development world called the "No SQL" movement and it’s taking the web application world by storm. Insanity!” you may cry, “for where will people put their data if not in a database? Flat files? Tell me we aren’t we going back to flat files.”. No, but in the relational model, something does has to give. The converse is, of course, also true. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Thursday, April 22, 2010 Building Windows Machines in Amazon EC2 Now I must admit I'd rather have found a good tutorial on The Internets or even in a book. In this article I'm going to give you a simple, step-by-step overview of how to create a Windows 2008 server image in Amazon's Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) infrastructure. Feel free to send me any I missed. My experience is they are either dated or about Linux and so on. First, briefly why does one care about EC2? That's a great reason and Microsoft and Google have interesting plays there too. Personally I just want a simpler way to create virtual machines. Here we go. Create an Account. Launch! Michael C.

Here is a list of the very best books I have found that helps bridge the divide between OOD and Agile for those of you who are currently making that transition. Tags: Books You often hear it stated by very bright people that they thought they understood object oriented design until they began practicing Test Driven Development (TDD). definitely include myself in that group (the misunderstanding OOD part anyway!). They are highly recommended. Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices. by Robert C. Martin. Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code. - MSDN Magainze: Web Apps That Support Long-Running Operations

| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | Unit testing a ASP.NET WebAPI controller Testing a simple ApiController that gets data Suppose we have the following ASP.NET WebAPI Controller with two Get methods, the first returns the complete list of books and the second returns the book with the requested ID. 14: 15: // GET api/books. 24: var book = _repo.GetBook(id); 25: 26: if (book == null ). 30: 31: return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, book); 32: }. The Get() method that returns all books is easy enough to test. There are no dependencies on WebAPI bits, all it does is return a enumeration of books. 8: 9: }. The Problem Solver - Sunday, May 12, 2013 Requirements and Specifications The first book I picked up was Mike Cohn’s User Stories Applied , the nearest thing the Agile-set has to a definitive text on requirements. True Requirements runs throughout the book but doesn’t help me compare and contrast. The fact that so many prominent books duck the question of requirements and specification makes me think this is a fairly common issue. 'As I was saying in my last blog, I’m preparing for a talk at Skills Matter entitled: “Business Analyst, Product Manager, Product Owner, Spy!” and so I’ve been giving a lot of thought to requirements. nothing. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, April 15, 2013 Requirements whose job are they anyway? The talk title is a reference to the John Le Carre book “Tinker Tailor Solider Spy!” , its probably too clever by half and I should just have entitled it “Requirements: Whose job are they anyway?” 'Later this week I’m giving a talk at Skills Matter entitled: “Business Analyst, Product Manager, Product Owner, Spy!” The talk idea was born out of what I see as confusion and land-grabbing in the requirements space, or as I prefer to think of it “the need side” i.e. the side of development which tries to understand what is needed. Undoubtedly some do but I’m far from convinced they all do. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, April 15, 2013 | -
| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - How to rip audio books
So i listen to a lot of audio books, and here's how i create the mp3 of them. Make sure the book is UNABRIDGED 1) get a ipod - i prefer the nano. link] 4) set your encoding bitrate to 64k & stereo, this is a very high quality audio book.

To do this double click a track. select the Sectors>Last. And there you go Llewellyn Falco - Sunday, July 6, 2008 - Book review: Silverlight 4 in Action
Reviewing this book took some time as it weighs in at a hefty 798 pages, who ever said that Silverlight was a small products? That is a lot of material but then the book doesn't assume any prior knowledge of Silverlight at all. The book is divided into 25 chapters in 3 different sections. In these cases the book is a nice point to get started but no more than that and getting additional information on the Internet is pretty much a requirement. Pete has a pretty solid coverage of the material the book will help you understand what you need to know. Enjoy!

Here are some books for people that are looking to get into Windows Phone 7 development (some are pre-order only at this time): Microsoft XNA Framework Programming for Windows Phone 7.
