Recently I wrote a post about a project that I was working on with an abstracted data layer concept that can work in the context of either relational or document data store.

In February I went to the MongoDB conference in Boulder.

Recently I’ve been using F# a bit.

Recently I started contributing to VsVim, a Visual Studio plugin that emulates Vim.

I've always known that reflection method invocations C# are slower than regular invocations, but I've never never known to what extent.

I recently started a new job with a software company in Boulder.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about the best way to do BDD in C#.

I started writing this post over a year ago.

I've been a fan of Test Driven Development since I worked in an XP shop.

If you've worked with me for any amount of time you'll soon figure out that I often profess that "I hate generated code".

At the place of my current employment we've had a layer of management placed above us that fervently preaches the mightiness of agile.

I don't normally write much C code, but this past week I was fiddling around with it this past week to solve some programming puzzles.

Earlier today I was talking with someone today who exclaimed, "Occupy Wall Street, that's so stupid!".

Recently, we instituted a "core hours" policy among our developers that essentially equates to 4 hours of quiet time every day.

This is part 2 of a series.

The Law of Demeter was created for the intent of simplifying object hierarchies and structures.

I'll admit, comboEditable is an extremely dry name for an open source project (I would have used something like Project Bierstadt but it's not really that descriptive).

Since college I've always been a huge fan of dynamic languages.

I spent some time today and solidified my personal website (http://tkellogg.github.com).

I know in previous posts I bashed Node.js a bit.

This evening I stuck my head in at quickleft's hackfest downtown boulder.

I've seen some interesting software version sequences.

Earlier, I posted about those lame hipster developers, as I call them.

Last week our QA guys wrote up a bug that one of our new pages wasn't working.

I'd like to know what the deal is with these new hipster developers, as I like to call them.

Git aliases are a great way to do more with less typing.

Rake is a great twist on traditional make (honestly, I never really liked Ant or NAnt).

In my last post I introduced MoqContrib's automocking container.

The past couple weeks I have been working on an auto-mocking inversion of control container for Moq Contrib.

Note: I thought I had read this term from somewhere else, but after a quick internet search turned up only dirty videos, I think I may be the sole "coiner" of the term.

One of the pesky problems with databases is unit testing the database portion of your application.

I've been assigned to create a light and flexible workflow for two separate projects.

I recently had a conversation with someone that went something like: Me: Yeah, I went to the Sunflower market down on 287 & South Boulder Rd PersonX: That's one long ass walk How am I supposed to reply to that?

Today i was looking at open source workflow frameworks for work today and paused on objectflow.

I've always used NUnit for testing code so it's naturally the framework I'm most familiar with (I haven't used anything else).

Thursday night I attended a lecture at the Boulder Linux user's group called Unlocking the Secrets of Git by Tom, one of the co-founders of Github.

I found this blog post about a couple Harvard students who wrote some [GPL'd] software for controlling worms' minds.

Programming languages have developed significantly over the past several decades.

I wrote a post a few months ago about the reasons we chose to use Git over subversion and I think it's time to follow up that post and write about how its gone so far.

Just to be clear, I have had Linux on my main home computer for several years.

I'm pretty sure most developers (web developers anyway) have heard of ORM (Object Relational Mapping) tools like NHibernate that map your database tables and to objects.

I just got a new job as an ASP.NET developer at a small company that is freshly developing itself into somewhat of a software company.

In a previous post about ExtJS I mentioned the possibility of developing a web application that runs entirely inside the browser and doesn't require any server side code.

I've worked with the JavaScript framework jQuery before and I've heard of Ext JS but I wanted to try it for myself.

I strongly believe that for every avenue of life that we enter, we should leave it a better place.

This morning I started reading about the Spring Framework and, as usual, I followed a rabbit hole to learn what the phrase Inversion of Control (IoC) means.
