LINQPad - 1 views

  •   LINQPad lets you interactively query SQL databases in a modern query language: LINQ.  Kiss goodbye to SQL Management Studio!
  • it's a highly ergonomic code snippet IDE that instantly executes any C#/VB expression, statement block or program – the ultimate in dynamic development.
  • Best of all, LINQPad standard edition is free and can run without installation (or with a low-impact setup)

Remember Smalltalk? | Gartner Blogs 2008 - 1 views

  • 2) If you are BIG fan of dynamics languages (closures, meta programming, and all that cool stuff) then consider giving Smalltalk a look.  You might like what you see.  Its like Ruby but with bigger muscles.  You think Rails is cool? Check out seaside. In the end we’ll see a up tick in Smalltalk momentum over the next few years. 
  • Please don’t talk about Smalltalk. I enjoy my competitive advantage over the Java/NET crowd
  • Where Smalltalk really shines recently is in field of web applications due to its dynamic nature (live upgrading, debugging etc.) and because its shortcoming are not relevant here.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • On the Desktop - Dolphin creates 500k exe’s with ease - its a 1 button click (you just have to follow some of their easy put things in packages rules).
  • Remember LAN MAN? OS2? Both were heavily endorsed by Gartner.
  • I laugh when people say poor performance on older hardware was a mjor Smalltalk weakness. We routinely delivered applications that ran on 386 and 68020 processors with 8MB RAM. And yes, they were quite snappy. No, the reason Smalltalk didn’t catch on is because Sun spent more money on Java marketing than was spent on all computer languages combined, since the dawn of time.
  • I’ve listened personally to whiny ROR programmers groan and whine about PHP devs LEARNING ROR and undercutting them.
  • I didn’t fall for it for the marketing. I fell for WORA, for the language/runtime separation, for the multi-vendor approach (Sun never wanted to be the single provider for any Java centric product niche, and in fact was never the leader), for the comprehensive set of vendor-neutral APIs for all sorts of execution environments/applications,
  • For now I would like to see more use of Smalltalk like constructs in Java (Groovy).
  • Smalltalk must have sofisticated CASE tools, business process simulation tools, large development environments etc. etc. etc.
  • I stayed to teach Smalltalk since 1993 and am very happy about this information. Each academic year, we produce a small group of new Smalltalkers in the Czech Republic.
  • Joe Barnhart // Apr 4, 2009 at 2:48 pm At the company where I work, we have used Smalltalk for 19 years. Our tiny team of programmers has beat the pants off of competitors who employ teams 100 times our size.

Emacs, TRAMP, Ubuntu « What You're Doing Is Rather Desperate - 2 views

  • edit your ~/.emacs to include the line: (setq tramp-default-method "ssh")

    Remote editing with ssh - no need to tunnel X11 over ssh. This reminds me of a question that puzzles me: for those of us that use multiple machines, is there a failsafe way to have a master .emacs file for them all? Where do folks store it? On a web server, ftp, NFS directory, a favourite home directory, or a USB stick? Is there a low effort way to sync it: rsync, unison, a custom shell or Emacs lisp script, or a manual scp?

Design Patterns: 15 Years After the Revolution, by Danny Kalev @ InformIT [2009-10-30] - 1 views

  • by defining a description template that included among the rest: Known uses. Sample code (as opposed to a typical algorithm which were often described in plain English and perhaps a few sketchy lines of pseudo-code). Collaboration (A description of how classes and objects used in the pattern interact with each other). Consequences (results and side-effects). Related patterns.
  • Would a 2009 catalog of the 23 classic design patterns look much different? According to the authors of Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Code, the answer is no.
  • The authors would reclassify certain patterns and omit a few of the original patterns but the design and implementation would remain pretty much the same: "We have found that the object-oriented design principles and most of the patterns haven't changed since then" says Erich Gamma. You can't escape the feeling that patterns are frozen in time
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • In the meantime, in the C++ world the tide has turned towards a completely different paradigm known as generic programming (and to some extent, functional programming). Instead of plain classes and a complex inheritance chain, C++ these days uses templates, meta-programming and static type checking. The C++ Standard Library is the most prominent showpiece of the generic and functional programming idioms.
  • Over-engineering is another source of criticism. Programmers who become acquainted with patterns are often tempted to solve every problem using a pattern, even when a much simpler solution would probably be a better choice.

prog21: Tales of a Former Disassembly Addict - 1 views

  • In fact, generated code can be so ridiculous and verbose that I finally came up with an across-the-board solution which works for all compilers on all systems: I don't look at the disassembled output.
  • I still see people obsessed with picking a programming language that's at the top of the benchmarks, and they obsess over the timing results the way I used to obsess over disassembled listings. It's a dodge, a distraction...and it's irrelevant.

    Nice. But they are not supporting firebug 1.4+ version yet. You have to install the previous version to use FireQuery and that's irritating for now.
