| The Latest from Ardent Dev | MORE | | When is software done? Such a simple question… Earlier in my career I worked on a project that went into production with what I would consider a less than optimal set of internal admin tools. Are you done yet? We deployed it and handed it over to the client’s internal team where it stayed live but untouched. After a year in prod, I got an email from the client asking how to cancel a subscription. Apparently someone had signed up and wanted out but was unwilling or unable to use the self-serve features. The building of software is a funny thing. You can be busy in most professions. Development Ardent Dev - Sunday, February 13, 2011 The Dirty Secret of Computer Science Software artisans use the tools and techniques of modern software development to create the wide variety of software that entertains us and runs our businesses. The term "computer science" is a laughable misnomer. Outside of universities and operating system development, there isn’t a lot of computer science involved in the daily grind of computer programming. There’s some, of course, but not enough that I would call myself a computer scientist. Not by a long shot. Creating software bears some resemblance to art as in the work of an artist. Kate Gregory. —-. Ardent Dev - Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Yuck, I Got Data on my Hands You can mix and match tools and frameworks. We would question the judgment of a house builder relying on all manual tools, yet we mindlessly churn out the same data access code over and over and over again. mental roadblock for many folks is a worry about performance going down the toilet by relying on something like an ORM (object-relational mapping) tool. Once upon a time I wrote a computer program that did not require data. It was called helloworld.exe and it was awesome. It was also a wee bit useless. There is lots of data out there. They were delicious.) What a waste. Ardent Dev - Wednesday, February 24, 2010 | | The Best from Ardent Dev | MORE | | Survival Skills for Developers To survive you need the right tools / supplies and the skills to use them. An ORM tool is not necessary. Let’s suspend reality for a moment and pretend you’re heading out into the woods this weekend. Set aside the fact that you are a software developer and have no business tromping around out in the wilderness. You’re going to want to take along a few basics: maybe some matches, a tent or shelter of some sort, a bit of food, and some dry clothes. I bet you see where I’m going with this.). Outcode. Outbuild. Outlast. Sure, those are basic skills. Regex.

Ardent Dev - Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Computer Science vs. The Real World As usual, Joel Spolsky hits the nail square on the head in his Oct 26, 2009 piece on the discrepancy between what Computer Science programs teach and what software developers need to know in the real world: It is amazing how easy it is to sail through a Computer Science degree from a top university without ever learning the basic tools of software developers, without ever working on a team, and without ever taking a course for which you don’t get an automatic F for collaborating. Where do they learn to write a program longer than 20 lines? link]. Ardent Dev - Wednesday, October 28, 2009 | - Yuck, I Got Data on my Hands

| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | Agile Clinic: Dear Allan, we have a little problem with Agile. m no fan of Jira, or any other electronic tool but most team use one so nothing odd so far. 'Consider this blog an Agile Clinic. On Friday an e-mail dropped into my mailbox asking if I could help. The sender has graciously agreed to let me share the mail and my advice with you, all anonymously of course… The sender is new to the team, new to the company, they are developing a custom web app for a client, i.e. they are an ESP or consultancy. the Developers work in sprints, estimating tasks in JIRA as they go. Sprints last three weeks, including planning, development and testing. Yikes!

The lack of management tools was hurting MongoDB’s adoption in the early days. The news is good. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Monday, April 22, 2013 Requirements and Specifications Having worked through this I conclude that BDD is an excellent specification tool. Now, while BDD and SbE may well give Developers first class specification tools these tools should not be mistaken for requirements tools and shouldn’t be used as such. '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!” which I should just have entitled it “Requirements: Whose job are they anyway?” and so I’ve been giving a lot of thought to requirements. So I turned to my bookshelves…. nothing. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, April 15, 2013 | -
| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - Building Windows Machines in Amazon EC2
All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis. Tags: Articles Tools 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. Now I must admit I'd rather have found a good tutorial on The Internets or even in a book. 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? Here we go. Create an Account. Enable EC2 Features. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Saturday, January 30, 2010 - Gmail New Mail Notifications for Windows 7

The NoSQL movement asks the question: “Is the relational database (RDBMS) always the right tool for data storage and data access?”. You may have to run a transformation tool if you’re making radical data changes, but that’s true in SQL systems as well. To get started, download MongoDB the tools and server here: [link]. Generally I look down upon that sort of development, but for an admin tool it’s just fine. All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis.
