Whenever I am about to start integrating with a new API, I like to walk though the steps with cURL. For those of you who have been living

I am half asleep right now, but feel like quickly writing this down today instead of tomorrow. And holy crap I just realized it’s 3:40am right now, so I guess “tomorrow” would have technically been today regardless. Anyway, today (now yesterday) was productive. I not only did a lot of work on the game itself, but also worked on documentation. Even the process of compiling a document outlining the core functions being used in the different c..

Last night I did no work on the game. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Instead I had pizza, played some games, and then promptly fell asleep. I didn’t realize how tired I was after 4am-2am-whatever-am nights over this weekend, and really the past few weeks, until I passed out in front of my PC while ordering an artillery assault. I needed the one-night’s rest. As a result today I’m awake and ready to get back into it.

Codecademy propone da ieri un corso gratuito e interattivo su HTML e CSS. Il corso, per principianti, si affianca a quello ormai collaudato (e recentemente ampliato) su JavaScript. Il meccanismo è quello della  gamification , con tanto di punteggi e badge da conquistare man mano che si raggiungono obiettivi prefissati . Presto dovrebbe uscire anche un corso su Python.

Four minor characters from 19th century epistolary novels break free on twitter and converse with each other as well as any other person who engages with them. A new work of collaborative fiction between bots and real people. @MrsJewkes (Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded), the bot/human hybrid @SergeantCuff (The Moonstone/Matthew Butler), @FredericaVernon (Lady Susan), and the […]

Back in September 2011, a group of McMaster business and engineering students started a project aimed to build a moon rover that would be run by the QNX operating system on a BlackBerry PlayBook - a Canadian initiative with Canadian technologies (QNX is 100% Canadian).

Busy day yesterday! Got a lot done. Switching light source from one entity to another proved to be surprisingly quick and easy. I was done with my emitter attribute in no time.

Hi All, Just finished working on the more complete fix. More importantly, the fix that I completed on Tue 27th has been approved by the marketplace and should be available to everyone soooooooooooon, once the changes have propagated through the marketplace systems. Hopefully this should be around Monday but I’m still at the mercy of the marketplace, in the meant time you can try and force the update but I’ve not had any luck so far with t..

Got a bit more sleep last night - went to bed at 2am instead of 3-4. The lighting saw a lot of progress. I think all of the core functionality we need thus far is in. There will be tweaking of lighting levels etc, but in terms of what it can do - it’s pretty much all good for the time being, although I’ve accounted for the possibility that we may need to add more to this later and made sure the code is fairly flexible. This meant that l..

So you want to be a consultant.  You probably think this will involve yourself talking and your client respectfully listening.  Your client will put you in front of her team to present a PowerPoint deck outlining how Everything Will Be Different Now.  You will then distribute copies of your Initiative Plan to each of her subordinates.  Once you have given everyone their marching orders, they will do exactly what you outlined in orderly fash..

A separate monitor is handy for showing tests results continuously while working. The paintbrushes are strictly optional. What follows is a somewhat rambling introduction to continuous, test-driven development, focusing mainly on Python and influenced by Clojure tools and philosophy. At the end, a simple script is introduced to help facilitate continuous TDD in (almost) any language. For the last four years I have increasingly foll....

The agile community is full of people who say things like "communication must be as rich as possible,by which they mean, "in person, simultaneously in time, and proceeding from high level to detail."  Not content with this message, our community members often go the extra mile to say things like "there's no point in expecting good communication to occur otherwise. [heavy sigh]"

I wanted a simple 'Like' button connected to my facebook fanpage. No stream, no faces, no counts, no nonsense. I couldn't find an easy and obvious way to do it. I spent more time than I would care to admit trying to figure this out and it turns out to be trivial. Go to Like Button developer tool. Set 'URL to Like' to your facebook page ( http://facebook.com/FacebookName ) Set 'Width' to '50' Uncheck 'Send Button' Choose 'Button Coun..

Jordan Mechner creò Prince of Persia 23 anni fa. Era il 1989 quando il gioco uscì per Apple II. Negli anni seguenti si sono succedute diverse edizioni moderne di grande successo, ma nessuna affascinante come l’originale (almeno non per noi, vecchi tromboni nostalgici). Pochi sanno che il codice sorgente originale era andato perduto. Mechner l’aveva cercato ovunque senza successo, perdendo ogni speranza di rintraccialo. Finché, proprio ier..

I've been pondering further difficulties of being a product owner, both silently and aloud, so yesterday I was happily bowled over by a new idea on the topic from my new Thoughtworks colleague Jasper "Dutch" Steutel (@dutchdutchdutch for twitterphiles).  He calls his discovery the "design spike," and we ended up talking together about a related concept, the "value spike."  So what's this all about?  Aside from being "Vampire Month" on the P..

I don't mean to go all "woo woo" on you, but you already have a personal online brand.  Don't believe me?  Bring up your favorite browser and type your name in quotation marks ("Firstname Lastname"), and do a quick search.  Try it again with your middle initial added.  Did something come up?  THAT's it!  It's your personal brand!

As you join your teammates in your sparkling new agile team room, and you all do your best to quickly "become agile," I guarantee that despite being surrounded by brightly colored index cards and sticky notes, you may sometimes feel...angry. Here you are, supposedly liberated to be "self managing," out from under the collective thumbs of your corporate hierarchy, and you realize that you are reminded briefly of the Lord of the Flies.

In the glory days when giants still walked the earth and the Agile Founding Fathers created "the team," they decreed that there would be three "team roles:"

You might not expect to encounter the "delegation" concept in a blog post about agile software development.  After all, agile is all about the "self governing team."  But in the real world, if you are in a company which is transitioning to agile, and you are the project manager of a newly created agile team, you may well need to consider how to create a situation around your team that allows self-governance to emerge without making you comp..

Agile purists may be frightened to learn that in many enterprise environments, one of the first steps executive management may take towards agile adoption may be to establish an official agile SDLC process, and to post a diagram representing the process, along with its artifact templates, in some prominent place on the company web site.  There will be 3-D box diagrams and arrows on it for sure, along with many links and appendices.  The dia..

I got a tweet this morning about the new VersionOne "State of Agile Development Survey" in which the re-tweeter used hashtags like #shocking and #fail.  Looking for a good laugh, I clicked on over to the survey, and realized I #liked the survey and I thought it was #interesting and #helpful to me.  I didn't find anything that jumped out to me as a #failure in a particularly #horrifying way.  Then for a moment I thought maybe I am not one of..

Enter the insulating class (also known as a Facade).
