Ironically, what we find can often help us write software better. Software Development and Filmmaking Parallels Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2013 Mar/Apr Release Date: Wednesday, February 06, 2013 Quick ID: 1304011 March/April 2013 Editorial by Rod Paddock The Skeptical Coder: Fixing Windows 8 and WinRT Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2013 Mar/Apr Release Date: Wednesday, February 06, 2013 Quick ID: 1304091 Here’s a bit of news for you: Despite all the criticism and despite all the naysayers, Windows 8 is actually a very good operating system. Improvements to the desktop are good and welcome. A lot of the underlying tech for WinRT is quite impressive. Microsoft should be applauded for their willingness to invent and change. However, because of a long list of puzzling decisions, and due to a lack of polish and packaging, Windows 8 just doesn’t add up to a good product that serves all the market segments it aims to serve. That’s a tall order, of course, but anything less has to be seen as a dramatic failure for any version of the Windows operating system.

Managed Coder: On Diversity Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 May/Jun Release Date: Thursday, April 19, 2012 Quick ID: 1206111 May/June 2012 Managed Coder Article by Ted Neward The Times they are A-changin! Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 May/Jun Release Date: Thursday, April 19, 2012 Quick ID: 1206011 The “Danger” of Dynamic Languages Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 May/Jun Release Date: Thursday, April 19, 2012 Quick ID: 1206051 Back in 2005, when Ruby on Rails started appearing on developers’ radars, there was an explosion of blogs and articles discussing how dangerous these loosey goosey languages were, with their hippy dynamic typing. And many predicted dire fates for companies foolish enough to take the plunge. Regular readers are certainly familiar with Ted Neward, who makes technology predictions each year on his blog. Here’s what Ted said on January 1, 2006: Post Mortem: Xiine for iOS Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 Mar/Apr Release Date: Saturday, February 18, 2012 Quick ID: 1203101 EPS builds a user interface for the iOS that is very similar to the Android and desktop versions. Managed Coder: On Abstraction Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 Mar/Apr Release Date: Saturday, February 18, 2012 Quick ID: 1203111 March/April 2012 Managed Coder article by Ted Neward So Many Choices Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 Mar/Apr Release Date: Saturday, February 18, 2012 Quick ID: 1203011 Rod Paddock Editorial Mar/Apr 2012 Managed Coder: On Being a Consultant Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 Jan/Feb Release Date: Wednesday, December 21, 2011 Quick ID: 1201091 Jan/Feb 2012 Managed Coder by Ted Neward Seeking Scale Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2012 Jan/Feb Release Date: Wednesday, December 21, 2011 Quick ID: 1201011 Jan/Feb 2012 Editorial by Rod Paddock Managed Coder: Thoughts of a //Build/ Gone By Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2011 Nov/Dec Release Date: Friday, October 21, 2011 Quick ID: 1112081 Nov/Dec 2011 Managed Coder by Ted Neward Managed Coder: Fear and Loathing of the FTC Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2011 Sep/Oct Release Date: Tuesday, August 09, 2011 Quick ID: 1109091 On June 27, 2011, USA Today ran an article headlined, “FTC Probe Puts Google On Guard”. In it, Scott Martin, the author, said that “The Federal Trade Commission has formally begun its investigation into Google’s search and advertising businesses, examining whether the company has unfairly used its monopoly. … Legal experts say the FTC inquiry marks a turning point for the company as it will come under heightened regulatory scrutiny.” History does not offer great hope for those companies under that heightened regulatory scrutiny. When IBM faced off against the FTC in the 80s, it marked the beginning of what most analysts considered IBM’s slide into mediocrity, and arguments can easily be made that Microsoft’s day in court against the FTC in the last 90s has led to a similar sort of decline. Given Google’s current status as one of Microsoft’s chief rivals, it would seem that for the Microsoft-allied section of the industry, this would be great news. Post Mortem: Xiine for Android Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2011 Sep/Oct Release Date: Tuesday, August 09, 2011 Quick ID: 1109031 Digital content is becoming more popular. E-book readers encourage people that like to read, to read even more because they can take all of their books on one lightweight gadget.

I had completely forgotten about writing the post, but as soon as I saw the title I remembered every word of it. It also got me thinking about who the guy was that wrote it... then and now.

You need to protect your code using a good licensing scheme and obfuscation. If you develop software for a living (and since you are reading this magazine, I assume you are), at some point you will most likely figure out how to protect your investment in that software. Two things you will need to do to accomplish this are to add licensing to your software, and to obfuscate your code so others cannot reverse engineer your hard work. These two tools are absolutely essential in your efforts to protect your software. This article will provide you with an overview on how you can use these tools to protect yourself from piracy.

In software engineering, the stories about the people involved are known as “human factors” - and it is often the human factors in the life of a software project that make life interesting for software developers.

If so, you need to be aware of the many different movements that are happening, at least in the United States, about keeping that data secure. Many states are enacting or have enacted legislation requiring businesses to not only safeguard that information, but also force those businesses to notify customers if such information becomes compromised Ask the Doc Detective Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2010 Sep/Oct Release Date: Friday, August 20, 2010 Quick ID: 1009111 Coaching Agile Teams: A Companion for ScrumMasters, Agile Coaches, and Project Managers in Transition - Chapter 2 Magazine/Issue: Online CoDe Magazine, Book Excerpts Release Date: Sunday, July 11, 2010 Quick ID: 100153 “This book excerpt is from Coaching Agile Teams: A Companion for ScrumMasters, Agile Coaches, and Project Managers in Transition, authored by Lyssa Adkins, published by Pearson/Addison-Wesley Professional, May 2010, ISBN 0321637704, Copyright 2010 Pearson Education Inc.

Business users really like Excel because it is easy to use and they can add complex formulas to Excel to express their logic.They can do so without involving the IT guy. The problem with this scenario, however, is that it becomes very difficult to share some Excel sheets with their coworkers. Usually users prefer to send workbooks via email, but sometimes the workbooks are too large for email, sometimes they have backend data connections, and sometimes workbooks send via email cause version confusion hell.

A quick look at the Wikipedia defines community as “a group of interacting organisms sharing an environment” and I think that pretty much nails it. In this column, I talk about the developer community as a whole and highlight some people, organizations and events I think you should check out. Managed Coder: The Intentional Fallacy Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2010 May/Jun Release Date: Friday, May 07, 2010 Quick ID: 1006121 Writing software is hard, particularly when the schedules keep programmers “nose to the grindstone”; every so often, it’s important to take a breather and look around the world and discover what we can find-ironically, what we find can often help us write software better.When programming and psychology mix, usually it draws rolled eyes and heavy sighs from the programmer community. But when push comes to shove, knowing a little about how our minds work can only help keep us honest with ourselves, and potentially identify some of our bad habits. CODE Magazine 10 Years Later Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2010 May/Jun Release Date: Friday, April 16, 2010 Quick ID: 1006011 May/June 2010 Editorial by Rod Paddock. 10 Years of CODE Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2010 May/Jun Release Date: Friday, April 16, 2010 Quick ID: 1006021 This is where you would normally expect our popular “Post Mortem” column: An interesting article that describes a project after it is complete and some interesting points about things that went well and things that didn’t. This month is different, however, because this is the 10-year anniversary edition of CODE Magazine! So while CODE Magazine isn’t a project that is “complete” and we certainly expect the magazine to continue on for a long time to come (both in print and online), let’s take a look back and recap what has transpired! Ensuring Quality Code Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2010 Mar/Apr Release Date: Friday, February 12, 2010 Quick ID: 1003021 Every developer needs to test their code, or have it tested by someone.I don’t know about you, but I am horrible at testing my own code. Does this mean that I do not need to test my code? Heck, no! It is always best if you do not rely on your end user to test your code. This can end up with a very frustrated user, and your user can lose faith in your ability to get their project done.

Magazine/Issue: Online CoDe Magazine, The Web View Release Date: Sunday, June 28, 2009 Quick ID: 090011 JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) has become the de facto data transfer standard for client-side Web applications that use JavaScript. JSON is a JavaScript-based object/value encoding format that looks very close to raw JavaScript and can be very easily parsed by JavaScript code because JavaScript can effectively evaluate a JSON string and re-materialize an object from it. Unlike XML there’s no parsing involved in the process, so it’s easy to work with and also relatively quick because the actual parsing (or rather evaluating) of a JSON string is done internally in the JavaScript engine rather than through manual code. The format and data types are also well defined so it’s easy to generate JSON strings in other languages like .NET (although parsing is a bit more complex). 10,000 Hours to Graceland Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2009 Jul/Aug Release Date: Friday, June 26, 2009 Quick ID: 0907011 Rod Paddock July/August 2009 Editorial Open Source Software Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2009 May/Jun Release Date: Monday, April 27, 2009 Quick ID: 0906011 Rod Paddock's May/June 2009 Editorial article. Keep Software Simple Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2009 May/Jun Release Date: Monday, April 27, 2009 Quick ID: 0906021 A lot of programmers tend to over engineer their software solutions.In the course of my consulting, I have reviewed many applications from many companies. In many cases I find a lot of areas where the software was just too complex. The reasons for this are varied, but seem to be centered around a few main areas: inappropriate use of design patterns, the “not invented here” syndrome, and building a Cadillac when a Chevy would do the job. You can solve these issues in many ways. All it takes is a little bit of re-thinking on how you build software. This article offers guidance on some things you can do to simplify your software development process Yes, We Can! 2009 Will Be Great!

I was always in a strange excitement when waiting for a new CTP, Beta or RTM of Visual Studio because I always expected some great new features with every release. During the years I have bought a few third-party add-ins and utilities for Visual Studio to make my development tasks easier and even created small add-ins to produce some useful piece of code. I knew that Visual Studio was extensible; I downloaded the SDKs and tried to get familiar with those hundreds of extensibility interfaces. However, due to lack of good documentation I often got frustrated. jQuery Puts the Fun Back into Browser Scripting Magazine/Issue: Online CoDe Magazine, The Web View Release Date: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 Quick ID: 080033 Rick Strahl discuss scripting with jQuery.

A Silverlight to Illuminate the Path Ahead… Magazine/Issue: Online CoDe Magazine, The Web View Release Date: Monday, September 17, 2007 Quick ID: 070143 At Mix 2007 in Las Vegas, Microsoft announced Silverlight (formerly known as WPF/E) to much fanfare. Silverlight is very intriguing in concept, as it further travels the path previously laid out by WPF (Silverlight’s big brother), and it aims to bring the worlds of Windows and Web development, as well as the worlds of software development and graphical design, much closer together. As more and more details emerge (and the first released version is now available), it becomes clear that Silverlight is not just an intriguing concept, but it is for real! Markus discusses Silverlight concepts in this article. Moving a Database: Dependencies Magazine/Issue: Online CoDe Magazine, SQL Server Observer Release Date: Monday, August 27, 2007 Quick ID: 070133 xIn the past two installments of this series I’ve discussed two key aspects of moving a SQL Server database from one server (or instance) to another. First I covered the advantages of designing databases to make them easier to move, and then I looked at the methods that you can use to move a database. Now it’s time to look specifically at the types of database dependencies that you must account for after you move a database.

Methods for Moving a Database Magazine/Issue: Online CoDe Magazine, SQL Server Observer Release Date: Monday, June 25, 2007 Quick ID: 070113 Moving a SQL Server database from one server to another is simple-initially. But there are various methods for moving a database, and some have more advantages than others. Investigating the types of moves ahead of time can make planning for a database migration easier.It takes essentially three steps to move a database from one server to another: take the database out of production, copy it to another server, and then bring the copy back into production. While you can choose from many methods to accomplish these steps, it can be difficult to complete the move given all the database’s dependencies. In this article I’ll describe the methods for moving the database. In my next installment I’ll discuss the dependencies and additional related objects that you must also move along with the database data.
