Refactoring
Today I had to tear apart and refactor one of core pieces of tool I'm working on. Oh, and I had to do it fast. At first, I was like: "Hey, you can't change that, it was supposed to stay the way it is now!". Next I started to refactor, changing one by one, all the pieces I needed to change in order to achieve desired effect. I was refactoring, compiling, testing... and again refactoring, compiling, testing.... And ultimately when all tests were once again green - I knew I was done. I felt confident. Thanks to TDD and...
In order to avoid accusation for doing crypto-advertisement, I honestly admit, that I have received for free professional licence for NDepend (worth EUR 299) from Patrick Smacchia (dev lead and inventor of the tool). It's kind of weird - I knew about the tool for some time, I even once downloaded its free version, but I got lost when I saw its interface and I didn't actually play with it much then and I ended up thinking that it's another crazy/fancy tool for PMs or whoever and I didn't really see how I might benefit from using it. Then...
Today I found (via Roy's post) very nice plugin that works with both Visual Studio and SharpDevelop. It's called Regionerate, is free and is developed by Omer Rauchwerger. As Omer wrote: Regionerate (pronounced ri-jeh-neh-rate) is a new open-source tool for developers and team leaders that allows you to automatically apply layout rules on C# code. I feel very happy to find it, since it does exactly this, what I wanted for a long time, and it's something that neither Refactor! Pro, nor ReSharper allows you to do. At the moment it's in its infancy (current version is 0.6beta) but even...
Congratulations to JetBrains for pulling out new release of ReSharper. I hoped that it would resolve problem I had with beta release, but unfortunately it does not. Situation looks exactly like it was with beta release. ReSharper installer claims that installation was successful, but was it really? Still, all options are grayed out, and that menu, and ReSharper logo are actually only signs of ReSharper's presence. Add-in manager in Visual Studio even doesn't list it . I reported the issue to JetBrains, but their investigation of the problem ended with one question after which they closed the case as 'Cannot Reproduce' the following...
I probably shouldn't even admit but: 'I haven't been using ReSharper'... I mean, never before. And before you ask - no, I haven't been on a remote island for last X years. I actually knew that there was such a tool, I simply didn't realize how great it is! It was Jean-Paul S. Boodhoo's series of screencasts on Demystifying Design Patterns, on DNR TV, that made me like - 'Wow, that's a great tool he's using' (he actually does more ReSharper magic that actual coding in these screencasts , but that's OK - J.P - great series by the way,...
