When the site switched from .Text to Community Server I lost "keywords", which were key to implementing BartyBliki. However, all is not lost as the ever helpful Ryan pointed me at: which looks as if it will fill the gap admirably. For more details Read More
NOTE: This is very much a "work-in-progress", so check back often if you're interested... Another installment in the "free tools" lists, this one is intended to contain tools (standalone and web-based) that I feel I could recommend to anyone. More specialised/complex Read More
(NOTE: I'm not really updating this list any more, but instead using del.icio.us. Hopefully soon I move all these over as well and "reunify". That said, there's still a lot here that might be useful...) Below is a categorised list of free and/or open-source Read More
As mentioned in WhatbiTdd, the intention of this topic is to capture part-formed ideas for (possible) later inclusion in WhaTBI?. Infrastructure Move from NUnit to MbUnit (and TestFu?) Auto-generate documentation from structured comments (Doxygen/NDoc?) Read More
Intro WhaTBI? stands for "What's The Big Idea?", and is a GotDotNet workspace I created in December 2003 to explore some of Fowler's "Patterns of Enterprise Application Development". For many reasons this was not the best way Read More
I mentioned some time ago that when I restarted work on WhaTBI? it would be on a test-driven basis. Well, that time has finally come (I'm currently at 'green' on the first iteration, so will post the code and commentary as soon as I've refactored) so Read More
Looks like there's actually dedicated "bliki" software, in the shape of SnipSnap. Haven't looked at it in too much detail yet, but what little I have seen definitely looks interesting... Read More
As more and more wikis are springing up, I thought it was about time I produced I categorised list of those I know about: Blikis BartyBliki Derek Lakin  Martin Fowler SnipSnap Development AjaxPatterns BorgWorX Channel9 CppUnit  Read More
The following diagram shows an initial idea of how the helper objects will interact: Registry is a Fowler-esque (see Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, p. 480) collection of objects, intended to support persistent references (think COM Read More
The foundation of the WhaTBI? concept are it's data source interfaces as shown below: Interfaces are used in preference to abstract base classes as the slight performance overhead (double indirection) is offset by the extra flexibility they provide Read More
A year or so back I had a brief look at Alexandrescu's "Modern C++ Design". As I have reasonably extensive experience of the "xTL trilogy" of ATL, WTL & STL I had considered myself a fairly advanced user (or possibly abuser in ATL's case ;) of C++ Read More
Now it's Eric's turn to open up a cans of worms, this time over whether methods should default to be virtual or final. Here are links to his posts (so far) on the topic. Virtual by default or not? More on virtual by default As usual, much of Read More
I've recently been noticing just how self-referential my 'blog is becoming. Just like a wiki, you might say. So that would make it a bliki, I'd likely reply, as I'm a big fan of Martin Fowler (I really should have avoided using his name the day after Read More
Welcome to Paul Bartlett's bliki! This is a concept borrowed from Martin Fowler, implemented using software written by Scott Watermasysk. But the idea to link the two together may (or may not) be mine. Check out my original post on the subject and Read More
