    Unit Tests As A Refactoring Tool

    So I have this class that is a bit too fat and has no unit tests. It’s way overdue for a clean up. I thought I would investigate how to refactor with unit tests.

    Application

    The application in question is a fairly normal case of a business DSL where the domain rules are expressed in XML and [...]

    I Like Words – Or Introduction Into Functional Programming and F#.

    If you hoped to find some sort of functional programming introduction here you are sadly mistaken. This is MY introduction into such said programming. Or it is more like “I’ve read up on F#, my brain exploded and spilled out into this blog post”.

    I would like to start off by comparing programming languages to spoken [...]

    Double Dispatch – RTTI vs. Pure Vtable

    As Jeremy Clarkson would say, I have been inundated with a request to performance test a dynamic_cast DD mechanism against the pure vtable one. The results surprised me, both in Debug and Release modes. So here is the dynamic_cast implementation:

    void c_rtti::foobar(a_rtti & a2) { c_rtti* c_ = dynamic_cast<c_rtti*>(&a2); if (c_) { [...]

    Adding schemaLocation attribute to XElement in LINQ to SQL

    I have spent a bit of time trying to figure out how to generate an XML document with all the XML namespace paraphernalia – including schema location. I got stuck trying to create the xmlns:xsi attribute – LINQ to XML kept creating a namespace alias for me and calling it p1 like so:

    <rootNode p1:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" p1="http://www.foo.bar" [...]

    I believe in three douchebags

    Every time our dear Senator Conroy makes an announcement it is met with much ridicule. It almost seems that he goes out of his way to seem as incompetent as possible. The whole internet filtering fiasco has been becoming more and more farcical over the past year. I wouldn’t have thought it could get more [...]

    Dear AGL…

    This is an open letter to AGL marketing department. I post it on my blog because the online enquiry form does not take text over 1000 characters and my rant was well over 2000 characters. Also there is no contact email advertised anywhere, so this is the next best thing as far as I am [...]

    AAAAAAaaaaarrrrgghh!!! Sensorship!!! OH noes…

    I posted some comments on an excellent article by Miranda Devine in SMH today. Find the article here. My comment got edited somewhat, which I don’t mind at all. After all, their website their rules, they can do whatever they want.

    What I did find interesting was what exactly got changed and removed. Below is the [...]
