Every morning I dig through various feeds of content and create a reading list for myself. I try to get through this list throughout the course of the day. Whatever spills over I tried to get to on the weekends. Maybe somebody else out there will find this useful.
- Microsoft released CCI on CodePlex – this is the code inspection engine behind FxCop. This (or some version of it) is also the engine that Visual Studio Code Analysis tooling uses in their Team System SKU’s of VS. That’s pretty interesting… good that Microsoft is becoming more and more transparent, but bad because this, in my experience, is a horrible library. This release will probably cause more people to want to use it. I’d recommend checking out Cecil instead.
- Jumpstart TV’s Grant Fritchey covers SQL Server Execution Plan Operators in 1.39 minutes
- Scott Hanselman talks to the legendary Joel Spolsky – very interesting stuff.
- Danny Cazzulino does an overview of his light and fast DI container Funq
- He has a nice series of screencasts here on how he built it using a Test Driven approach. These take a while to watch, but if you’re interested in learning the advanced features of C# 3.0, Resharper, and/or Test Driven development – watching this guy code will be educational
- Dimecast #104 – Navigate your codebase like a pro with ReSharper 4.5
- Warning: this screencast is done with a guy using the IntelliJ keyboard bindings. Most people there days use ReSharper with the ReSharper keyboard bindings. Watching this might be confusing if you’re trying to memorize keyboard short cuts, but it will be educational if you’re just interested in understand what ReSharper can do
- Test Code is Just Code – useful tidbits on how to write good test code, pitfalls to avoid, and common anti-patterns
