One of the problems with software engineering training is that few schools take the "engineering" part seriously. Instead they train programmers or software developers. If engineering was taken more seriously then they would teach

As the guy who formulated SOLID principles, co-created the Agile manifesto, and formulated the red-green-refactor process of doing TDD, I'd say that we should listen to what he has to say. Why do we keep training programmers in univers

Same thing just happened in Kazan Russia. A pilot was on the landing path and decided that he was too low, too early so he aborted landing, and pulled up the nose to go around again. Problem was that he was also too slow at that point to sa

You could always build your apps in IronPython with GTK#. Or even straight Python with QT. Or Java or Groovy or... If Microsoft doesn't provide a tool that does what you need, then choose another tool. There are an awful lot of choices

My solution to this problem was to build Python so that it finds all of its dependencies in one directory. This project https://github.com/wavetossed/pybuild has the build script that I used on Ubuntu Lucid LTS. In add

Ratpack, Graffiti, Gaelyk, Portofino. It's hard to judge something as "mature" because this is often synonymous with bloated, filled with magic, etc. So for my money, lightweight frameworks like Sinatra for Ruby are more matu

A SASS consultant? Is there such a thing? I don't think there is any shame in learning from clients. In effect, whenever you talk to a client about requirements, you are asking them to teach you about their problems domain. As a consul

There is a MOOC meme that needs to be squashed. Why are we evaluating any MOOC based on the number of people who FAILED to complete a course. One person makes 5 attempts at a course and finally passes. 4 FAILURES and one pass. To my mind th

Would it be pair programming if two people sit together and one writes the unit tests while the other one implements the code to make it pass? Red person and Green person? I guess during the refactor stage you would have some sort of design

People talk a lot about pair programming, but when have you ever read about how to do it. What are the mechanics of it? What should a member of a pair do or not do? I suspect that a lot of the problem with pair programming boils down to peo

That sure sounds like a piece of work where a design discussion is necessary. However, I would not call a design discussion, pair programming. Find one or two others to help you hash out a design, but once you understand the problem, there

It's not true. I checked http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all and it would only take 332 pages to print it all out. And to understand ZeroMQ you only need to read the first few pages and skim the rest. That is enough to s

I think you are missing the fact that 0MQ builds on top of sockets. Of course you can do all of the same things using just plain sockets but then you end up implementing parts of 0MQ. Like all libraries, 0MQ is a set of preimplemented featu
