    DDD! Sydney Wrap-up

    After the success of the DDD! Melbourne event last month, Telerik sponsored the DDD! Sydney (#dddsydney on Twitter) this weekend.  The DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper! conference is driven by the community, meaning that everyone can submit a topic and the people vote for their favorites.  In DDD! Sydney there were 4 tracks of great content about HTML5, Web, ALM and Other running in parallel. I could not attend all of them, however those I could gave me a plenty of new information and inspiration. Among the highlights were S.O.L.I.D Design Principles in C# by Omar Besiso New Development Workflows by David Burela. The video of his talk in DDD! Melbourne can be seen on his blog.

    Can’t Fit it all into a Sprint?

    Agile teams like short iterations because they help to ensure tight feedback cycles in order to reduce waste and minimize uncertainty. However, what if you can’t fit all the work required to implement a product backlog item in a 2 week sprint? For example, with more and more emphasis on design a considerable amount of work might be required for a designer to work with the product owner prior to any development effort investment. A similar question was asked of me during a web cast on Agile adoption: “... it’s a challenge to incorporate integration testing in a short 2-4 ...

The Problem The problem consists of a list of salespeople that have sales.  Here are the classes involved: public class SalesPerson { public string Name { get; set; } public IList<Sales> Sales { get; set;...

    The Importance of Good Tools

    Making a slight deviation from the more code-happy posts I normally do, I want to take a chance to talk about something which is very important to .Net developers, specifically those of us working in the Xaml space – the importance of tooling in a development environment. (Hint, the above image was edited using a Telerik Xaml tool!) Good Tools As developers, these help us to create better products, internal applications, and websites.  With them we can achieve better results faster, complete with more code coverage for tests and better looking UIs on top of it all, all while making a more efficient...

    Work Item Manager new version released!

    Happy to announce the new WIM update that is addressing certain issues reported by our great community.   Here is a brief list of improvements we ship with this update:  Error while dragging work items during planning is now fixed. The symptom of this error is that whenever you try to drag and drop a work item or a grid column header, you receive a “Root AdornerLayer not found…” error message.  This issue only happened in some environments so not all users were affected.  Drag and drop should now be working in all environments. Error with query parsing causing projects to not ...
