I agree that all engineering fields are problem solvers. I started out as a Mech Eng major in college and graduated from an engineering college at my university. All engineering majors and professionals do have a great deal of problem solving skills.

As an electronic engineer turned software developer I think I can speak for engineers to say where you mentioned that it is only software engineers that are working on problems that have not been done before, this is completely incorrect, my previous employer taught me that my job as an engineer is not just to answer the questions customers do not know, it is to figure out the answers to questions they dont know they dont know - mechanical/structural engineers are in the same position, at the cutting edge of any field we are all pushing the boundries of what is possible, generally it is all about taking technology we are accustomed to and adding to it, as software developers we are generally using tools and languages we know and applying them to a novel solution, exactly the same as most engineers.

RE: Episode 43: Talking OData and SQL Modeling with Douglas Purdy

enterprise cloud — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:24:59 GMT

This podcast was truly enlightening to understand the SQL Server Modeling which is the new name for what we called Oslo!! It is really going to help developers like us save a lot of time and effort because it helps to store and manage models for enterprise!! Microsoft’s Douglas Purdy sure knows what he is talking about and has done a wonderful job of explaining about what the web protocol for querying and updating data called OData is all about!!

RE: Episode 16: Discussions about Gnome, Linux and Software Development with Luis Villa - Part 1

enterprise cloud — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 14:56:59 GMT

This episode was such a treat for the listeners as we had the opportunity to listen to Luis Villa talking about so many things from being a Linux developer, to being an open source advocate and talking about intellectual law and property!! That would be quite interesting to a lot of people who had different interests!! His experience definitely is a clear message to us that if we set our hearts to something there isn’t anything that one can’t do!!

RE: Episode 45: Making Sense of What Was Oslo with Lars Corneliussen

enterprise cloud — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 14:55:13 GMT

I am sure that there wouldn’t be a single developer who would have missed listening to this episode where we had Lars Corneliussen who is such a familiar figure with the developers!! It was really great to hear him talk about SQL Modeling which was earlier called Oslo. I am sure that he has helped a lot of developers to clear a lot of doubts they had about the new SQL Modeling with his explanation about it here!!

RE: Episode 76: IL Rewriting and What .NET Assemblies look like under the Microscope with Philip Laureano

It really was exciting to listen to Philip Laureano, the world’s first IOC container that is written in pure IL (Intermediate Language). It was really fascinating to listen to him talk as I did know much about it like I listened to him!! It was more of an educational one for me where I have learnt so much about the scope of IL and the role that it is going to play in a developer’s world!!

RE: Episode 49: Getting the Right Message about NServiceBus with Udi Dahan

It was a real pleasure listening to the great creator of NServiceBus, Udi Dahan and what he had to say about his open source messaging framework for designing distributed .NET enterprise systems. He was so cool while talking about what he does and I am sure that there will be quite a few who were inspired by what he had to say!! Listening to him talk about his work was really awesome and I hope we get to hear more of such interviews!!

You are back with an amazing guest again. A very worthy guest. Becoming an independent software consultant is one of my big dream. Presently I am working with a top software company and by next year I am planning to move from here. Not to any new job, but to my own free world. I am preparing myself for it from years and this is the last stage. These tips will be a great advantage and added knowledge for me.

RE: Episode 73: Developing Real World Applications with TDD with James Bender and Jeff McWherter

Sean Feldman — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 16:32:21 GMT

Hello,

This is a great show. I love the subject and I think speakers did a great job by both publishing a book and talking about TDD/BDD.

A few items to outline:

1. BDD has always stayed for Behavior Driven Development. One can save that behavior=business, which is true, yet if we stick to semantics, it should be behavior.

2. Pex library was mentioned. Along with Pex Microsoft has also release Moles, mocking framework. Since Rhino.Mocks and MoQ where listed among mocking frameworks, IMHO Moles should get some attention as well since it has some strong sides that neither of the discussed frameworks has - it can mock sealed, static, and non-virtual members, what other frameworks cannot do. For systems where singletonism is all over the place its a valueable tool (or TypeMock).

Keep your great show rolling.

Thank you.

Sean

This was an awesome show. It's funny because I listened to it out of sequence with other shows, and after listening to Mike Flasco's podcast on the same topic. Was really interested in this OData protocol which provides a way to unlock your data and free it from silos that exist in applications today, making it easy for data to be shared in a manner that follows the philosophy of Open Data. It enables a new level of data integration and interoperability across a broad range of clients, servers, services, and tools. Those are not just bare words.

RE: Episode 66: Getting a lesson about Technical Debt from Gary Short

Hosted Call Center — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 19:28:37 GMT

I agree completely that it is better to spend more time up front planning a project and making sure the right processes are in place. There is so much pressure to just start coding, but in the long run, you will save time when you don't cut those corners. I am so frustrated with the trend to outsource development to India for example, thinking that cheaper labor will save development costs. It ends up costing as much or more because the effort wasn't put into planning.

Excellent episode that describes the story of my life (independent consulting). Everything Michael has said is definitely true. You can't have all of your eggs in one basket (one project that you solely depend on), and if you don't like juggling multiple projects this may be the wrong endeavor for you. Excellent conversation Michael, thank you.

RE: Episode 66: Getting a lesson about Technical Debt from Gary Short

Rob Vander Sloot — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 02:36:49 GMT

Great interview guys!

Technical Debt has been a pet peeve of mine for a very long time. I understand the business reasons for planned technical debt, but when shortcuts are taken just because the developer is lazy or they think that their boss will be more impressed getting it done "faster", it drives me nuts, especially because I'll probably be the one to unravel it the next time that I to touch that section of code.

When measuring the time that it takes to implement a new feature, it really doesn't take any longer to code it "right" the first time. Sure, the developer who takes short cuts gets it into QA faster, but by time they've gone around in circles a few times with the testers to work out all the kinks, they are not only pushing schedule boundaries, but their code is already starting to smell.

Thank you, especially to Gary for providing some great information.

RE: Episode 62: What Features of ASP.NET 4.0 Must Developers Learn

Ian Patrick Hughes — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 18:33:12 GMT

Pretty good talk. But, I kind of thought that this was almost too high level and some of the things he noted, you actually had access too in 3.5. I mean, while table-less controls and cleaner HTML is baked into 4.0, but there have been CSS based controls at least since 2.0.

It would be awesome if you guys could have a talk with someone on "What Features of C# 4.0 Every Developer Should Know". There are a lot of changes there, in terms of overloads and the new dynamic variable capabilities.

Just suggestin'.

RE: Episode 61: What should Developers know about SQL Server?

Daniel Auger — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 20:11:07 GMT

Regarding ORMs and query plans: NHibernate has a setting (prepare_sql = true) that will generate queries based off of column length instead of the length of the parameter value. There was a period in time where this feature did not work, which has caused some long lasting misinformation in DBA circles.

That being said, I do believe that Linq2Sql has the query plan bloat described in this episode. I am not certain one way or the other in regards to Entity Framework.

RE: Episode 55: What Windows Server AppFabric Means For Developers

Taiwo — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 13:01:38 GMT

I believe that the major goal of caching software is to address the slow i/o throughput of disk drives by caching data in memory and making the data available to applications running across the network. Given this, the advent of SSD drives and SSD-based SAN arrays obviate the need for caching software.

Hosting the database on an SSD SAN provides really fast i/o and doesn't require you to reprogram your application, deal with the setup and management complexity of caching software, deal with data synchronization between in-memory and durable disk data, or worry about the programmatic complexity and lock in of the caching software vendor.

SSDs are worth investigating for those who really care about i/o throughput. Check out Cybernetics.com and violin-memory.com.

RE: Episode 35: Why Comments Are Evil and Pair Programming With Corey Haines

Kyle — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 02:33:24 GMT

"It is very true that pairing is much more tiring than working alone, exactly for the reasons that you mention about someone watching you code: it demands a much higher degree of concentration, focus and 'staying in the zone' than working by yourself."

In my rather extensive personal experience, this is the exact opposite of reality in virtually all production shops (there are some exceptions, certainly). Pairing is 99% of the time used as an excuse for one member of the pair to check out entirely and shirk responsibility for a while. Then, they switch and the other person does the work. This is the reality of pairing in virtually all real-world scenarios. Software craftmanship, XP, and pair programming are great ideas, but they only even come close to working reasonably when both parties share the same values. Since 99% of developers don't, pairing doesn't work in the real world. The real world isn't full of boutique software shops, it's full or large-scale engineering operations. What works in a boutique shop will rarely work elsewhere.

My opinion is that software craftmanship is like socialism: it's a great idea if you can get it to work outside the lab, but you probably can't. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try, but keep your expectations realistic.

RE: Episode 51: Exploring Workflow Foundation 4.0 with Matt Winkler

Bhaskar — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 06:46:56 GMT

Good to know about performance improvements in WF 4.0

I am creating one workflow instance for each of my order in an order management system. So the number of workflow instances will be around 100000 of a single workflow.

Need to know as what is a decent limits of workflow instances which can be created on a server.While suggesting, also share your server configuration. I am thinking of about 100000 workflow instances hosted as a service in IIS.

These workflow instances will work and die out with persistance only incase of system failure.

--------------------------------------------------------

Do you have performance figures on how many instances of workflow can be created at a time when the workflow is hosted as a service in IIS using AppFabric.

Also if you could share data about how much time it is going to take for a workflow based on wf4 to exceute which has one policy activity with externalised 10000 rules.

Please share whatever performance data you can share along with configuration of the server for which the data is relevant.

RE: Episode 41: Developing Better User Experiences with Internet Explorer 8 with Jon Box

Jon Box — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:11:44 GMT

Phil and Ryan, thank you for you comments. I didn't say that ACID3 was not important. I only pointed out that my corporate customers that I talk to are not asking about this, and that there are some political issues related to this topic. However, it is my understanding that the IE team is looking at this, and IE9 development has supposedly made strides towards this number, per the PDC keynote.

Ryan, interesting points. And yes, the IE team is aware of these sentiments. However, I will be sending these too. I too personally want the product to do well, be a good player, and have the value to make it a winning and competitive product.

The point of this conversation for me was to make folks more aware of the new IE8 capabilities - accelerators, web slices, and visual search. I hope that you will take a look at these.

RE: Episode 41: Developing Better User Experiences with Internet Explorer 8 with Jon Box

Ryan Riley — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 22:57:18 GMT

I agree with Phil, and I found Jon's point on Acid 3 ridiculous. 1) No client is going to talk about Acid 3. 2) All the other major browser makers are working towards Acid 3 without complaint. While MS has made great strides with IE8, they are still a very long way off the mark from the rest of the pack. Jon's response will likely make most developers up their push to get their clients off IE entirely, not move them up to IE8.

Customers want a product. They could care less about Acid 3, sure. However, developers do care and are responsible for delivering products. IE8 is just not a developer friendly platform. The extras for regular web users don't really help developers, and I know very few of those users who use any of the addons for IE8. Those who use addons use FireFox, as it is best known for those.

In summary, IE is losing on both fronts. It's still used so much purely because most people don't know any better or have no choice. To try to defend any other position is sheer arrogance. If IE wants to play catch up to at least FireFox in terms of CSS support, SVG, and JS performance.

RE: Episode 41: Developing Better User Experiences with Internet Explorer 8 with Jon Box

Phil — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 22:17:06 GMT

My biggest problem with this podcast is that Box is trying to sell IE 8. I do not think anyone listening to this podcast needs to be convince to use it- we have client/customers that make us need to use it regardless of how good we think it is or whether or not it passes the ACID test. We need to know how we can use the features of IE 6,7 and 8 in our apps.

RE: Episode 35: Why Comments Are Evil and Pair Programming With Corey Haines

Ivan Assenov — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:37:43 GMT

Hey, I noticed some interesting things.

First, it is not important how long the method, function is. More important is how many things it does. Method of 6 lines could do 4 different things. So the amount of lines means nothing. Also, it is important what language type you are using: dynamic or static. Dynamic languages would force you to write smaller methods, 100% code coverage etc..

Second, big enterprise applications are written by tens, hundreds people. Most of them are developers, not Software Engineers/Architects. What that means: comments are either bad, or missing. I often see something like issue#xyz DC 2/2/2000. The first thing I do with this is to remove it. Second bad comment I see is old code commented and left there for years. one time I found commented code for more than 10 years.

Third, XML comments are mandatory in my mind. Even if the method is private I would put xml comment, because I believe private should be tested as well, unless you use Eiffel.

Four, your code does not belong to you after you post it to the repository. I often hear: my code, my code, my code. It is not your code anymore. The code has to blend with the rest of the application. Now imagine if two guys are placing code in to same application. One guy makes one method with 1300 lines of code. He reports that he is done before due day. The second guy produces 100 methods and he is late for the due line. A month later the first bugs are starting coming. Who do you think the management will blame: the guy with 1300 lines method? I do not think.

Five, I never attend code review at the end of the cycle. This is already too late for me. I have seen for a long time code reviews done after the application is already done.

Six, I personally do not recall what my intention was when I write code. That is why in the xml comment section I would describe it with an abstract description. This way the code is maintain for developers, clients, anybody.

In general great topic. I think we need more of these conversations. We need to see people talking about quality. Thank you Corey.

You are missing the point. Those 100 lines still exist, the difference is developers don't have to read 100 lines anymore, they only have to read 23 or whatever the number was.

I'm sorry bob, but reading 23 is less than 100 anyday in my book and is a big deal. That's a 75% gain in productivity for someone that needs to go in and edit the code after another developer has written it.

BTW, this isn't a "blog" it is a podcast and we sir, aren't going ANYWHERE.

I would love to try pair programing at work but at work right now we have 4 developers and each works by themselves on their own individual project or two. Is my company too small too use pair programming? Can we pair program and still do as many projects in the same amount of time as we would if we programmed alone? Each pair would have to take on two projects at one time no?

RE: Episode 35: Why Comments Are Evil and Pair Programming With Corey Haines

mknopf — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:47:05 GMT

Great show, I am a developer who does in fact comment their code regularly and I believe that the reason is something that you may have missed during the talk.

The #1 reason I comment my code is so that other developers, who may not be at the same level I am at, can understand what i'm doing syntacticly. We have a Sustaining Department who currently are responsible for about 300 diverse applications. These guys are often intermediate developers and because I use Generics, Delegates, and other "not so easy to know what the hell that line of code means" code I comment it so that they can learn what it is I'm doing/using in order to better understand the overall program.

I call this "Programming for maintainability" because the guys who will maintain these apps are sometimes green, a few helpful comments can avoid HUGE confusion on there part.

I also agree 100% with what Corey said about Pair Programming, I'm a big advocate and we do this regularly (especially with the greener guys).

By the way, I work at NASA which is why we have so many applications in production (more then 14,000 currently).

You can say 1, Ill assume the metric is in millions of users.

SO 10 would mean 10 [million] users.

Do you have that many? what about 80 [million]?

For software you have written yourself. The entire thing.

How many millions of users, online every day, do the esteemed podcasters have (combined)?

RE: Episode 35: Why Comments Are Evil and Pair Programming With Corey Haines

Corey Haines — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:43:49 GMT

It is very true that pairing is much more tiring than working alone, exactly for the reasons that you mention about someone watching you code: it demands a much higher degree of concentration, focus and 'staying in the zone' than working by yourself.

From your first paragraph, though, it sounds like you weren't really in a productive/experienced pairing situation. Was your pair experienced, or was the idea mandated 'from above' with little to no training? A true pair-programming session does not involve a silent partner 'watching someone mousing around on the screen.' Instead, it is a collaborative event centered around a conversation that results in code being written.

I agree that with your statement:

"Two good developers working alone is more productive than one watching the other code."

The fallacy here is that this is a description of pair-programming. One person watching another person code has a specific, appropriate time and place, but I completely understand how you can get frustrated if that was your experience.

In the end, however, not everyone is equipped to handle the intensity, transparency and accountability of pairing. I don't meet a lot of people like that, but I've met a few; It sounds like you are in that group. It is a good thing that you eventually left the company; I hope that you weren't there too long, as being miserable at your job is an awful experience.

I tried pair programming (was forced on me!) and it just sucks. I was doing it for hours everyday and I was tired by the end of the day. Watching someone mousing around on the screen and trying to follow their steps is tiresome. And unless they are talking all the time or you're asking questions about what they are doing, it's a waste of time. Two good developers working alone is more productive than one watching the other code. If you need help is some code or design, just ask.

I don't like someone watch me code. I want to take a break, browse the web, Google something, eat,drink, fart, pick my nose, snack, call someone or whatever and I can't stand it when someone is aware of all my moves. You have to excuse yourself every time you leave the desk. arrg! It's like someone breathing down your neck.

It's sucks big time. I complained to my manager that it doesn't work for me. I like to work alone. Eventually I left the company. What a relief!

As for the comments, just comment when necessary with one liners. It doesn't hurt anyone or the compiler.

I wrote this for fun a while back after listening to the guy from Duke get joked around by the guys here. It's just entertainment, not very structured, and ended up not having much of a point. I did think it was funny that 3 days after I wrote it MSFT trashed Live OneCare. I tried not to feel grandiose while cackling inside. I managed. I always do!

Sometimes I just feel that logic gets so skewed in the skillet that people's idea of correcting things is to throw money at the problems; take Microsoft--there's so many holes, you could throw a ton of money at it. It eventually makes no sense and looks like a cisco model upside down with a moat of the newest core routers surrounding the bottom of the triangle, with copper connecting the switches.

I just don't see why things weren't scrapped and re-written between 1985 and the attempts I see now.

I have nothing against Microsoft. They were just the brand I used as an example.. no harm no foul. Went to school with one of these guys. They're both stand up. I'm a Microsoft partner. I just feel that open discussion and any joking around is all fair game on this forum. Please let me know if I'm out of line, and I will retard all replies. Just having fun with the gang and frying some eggs in some grease myself. Boy Hidey Ho! *smears some extra mortar around the MSFT bricks so the framework doesn't fall on me while I'm walking away from the web site! ;)

Kudos on focusing on lean code. That saves us all a heck of a lot of time wiping industry butt when guys like me walk into a failing infrastructure that someone developed in VS like they were shooting code out of MSFT T shirt guns. No matter what you design a solution to control, operate, or enhance the functionality of, smart programmers test their code on the "Minimum Hardware" that it says on the back of the development resource CD that they wrote it for, and it still produces at a reasonable pace.

I think there's more than enough room for every brand of proprietary hardware, industry brand, BI/Data Analytics, on all hardware and software, whether it's a restricted source code, GNU, GPLx, or BSD licensing. I just like to see people recognize value in cost analysis and not dismiss the savings. Think how much money the industry made (and passed on the cost) to fix the code they wrote on faster software.... how many years could they have seen a Y2K patching issue in COBOL coming before applications like Progress had to step through every Fortune 100 company's millions of lines of code, making it right. Just seems like there's been too many coincidences at this point to neglect the fact that all new hardware manufactured by every company is rushed to get the driver on the newest Windows CD before it prints, so they have good sales during the patching of that retail beta release. QA the SDLC when you sell an Operating System for massive profits. That's all we respectfully ask of corporations. Otherwise say it's not done yet, and give it away free, and let everyone collaborate and don't sell the collaboration programs to waste a year repairing what you might should not have purchased in the first place. Everything past Dos 3.3 comes to mind; I'm only 34 years old though. I think Dos 6.22 was a solid product. I think Windows 3.1 was great. I think WFW 3.11 was great. I think Windows 95a blew chunks. I think 95b was solid. I think 95c screwed it up again. I think Windows 98 was fairly pitiful. I think 98 2nd edition was nice and stable to pay for. I think Windows ME was the biggest disgrace I've ever seen sold for that much money. Windows 2000 and up have been greatly improved, and if only people weren't so jaded on MSFT Security to see the improvements in Vista, the sales of Vista would have been to every company just like the rest

Jeremy -- I agree that the foundation of DDD is OO but I think what the people that have developed the content and knowledge around DDD would say that it is taking the patterns and practices and giving them names and structure that people can understand. Like any pattern, most have been used for longer than the pattern has been around as a name. Same with DDD.

As for developmnent from the database up, I agree that most applications are developed from this thinking. There is now a shift in thinking and tools to support the development from the object model back to the database. I do not think either is correct but both allow the strengths of the developers to shine.

RE: Episode 6: Talking Domain-Driven Design with David Laribee - Part 1

Jeremy Hillin — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:44:37 GMT

I am sure there are some specific DDD type practices but they are derived from OO principles. From my experience many developers still do database development and their applications are usually procedural and not OO. Just my perception..

Great listening!

David makes a very valid point about the design process - business people prefer to discuss the domain model using pictures and whiteboards, rather than looking at code.

To that end, we've developed a tool that takes this a step further, by dynamically generating an application prototype (at run-time) directly from .NET entity classes. Business people can quickly see the domain model as an interactive application - which opens up a dialog (between Developer and business person) that can be focused purely on the domain.

For SOA I was thinking something along the lines of covering the different technologies and getting some input on real world examples of how and where it's being used. How it can be useful for others, etc.

For Cloud Computing it would be cool if you could get some of the big vendors (MS, Amazon, Google, Elastra, etc) to talk about their systems, what they use, how the manage, etc. What they're doing now and what to expect in the future.

@AlanBarber good recommendation but what is it that you find interesting about that topic? How it is done? What technology to use? How someone in .Net would do it vs open source alternatives? Future speculation?

RE: Up and Coming Shows

AlanBarber — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 15:23:51 GMT

Good topics. I would suggest some podcasts on SOA and Cloud Computing.

Thanks!

Hi there, just listened to the two Silverlight episodes, best cover of Silverlight so far in the podcast sphere! And as a bit of a Silverlight devotee, I've listened to quite a few!

Keep up the good work :)

Really enjoyed the show, guys! One bit of constructive criticism, though. I expect a little small talk/vamping at the beginning of a podcast, but 6 1/2 minutes seems a bit much.

Other than that, you guys have been perfect! You've had the audio quality nailed since the first episode, great guests, and great explorations of the show topics. Please keep 'em coming!

@Aaron Stiles (if that is really who you are)

We don't mind publishing comments but we will not tolerate any way shape or form of disrespect in regards to comments that have cursing and fowl language in them.

As a matter of fact your comment isn't useful and adds nothing constructive to the discussion. Since your email address just bounced back to me I am deleting this comment.

If you have something to say, then say it and attach your real name and your real email address to it just like the rest of us. Hiding anonymously and spewing hatred is something I have zero patience for.

Great show but from the title I was expecting something different. I was hoping to hear about developing .Net apps in the Mac OS, using the Mono Project and alternative IDEs to Visual Studio and how well the Mac OS supports hosting ASP.NET websites and how it renders the System.Windows.Forms controls in the Mac OS X theme.

However, after listening I definitely want to buy a MacBook and play with all the cool tools mentioned in the show.

Regards,

Good podcast with Joe. Interesting his takes about I/O vs language. Also liked the bit about your local beers at the end.

Hi Guys,

I am downloading this podcast & saw that it is 52 MB file. I haven't heard it yet but makes me think how long is it?

Can the file size be reduced?

Thanks

Damon Wilder Carr — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 20:48:25 GMT

Really solid work. Thank you!

I hate having to fight to do this work and it is astonding that these near decade proven methods are not assumed of all.

We offer some ideas as our team and of course site is defined by domain-driven (it's the best phase I can think of that many understand anyway although it's really 'we insist on trying to make software the compelling strategic asset for organizations').

I have no idea how that could happen (and most have no real interest or belief it could happen) without domain-driven practices. But even that fails until people reboot their understanding of what we do.

We fail as an industry as we are managed like a business disciple, while the small percent who are good (in terms of what SHOULD be expected) are artists first. Not cowboys or egocentric. They are artists becuase they make others succeed. They craft APIs they will never code to that others benefit from.

Our past however was not like this. Same deal, but the evolution in the technology didn't make it the mandate that the artists behave in this way..

Anyway, good stuff!

Great show! Way to hit a topic that could use more exposure.

I started using a Mac for .Net development about 7 months ago and I've loved it (even with SQL Server and VS 08 running it hums). What James & Leon said was spot on. Going into it, I was a bit apprehensive about taking the plunge and this would have definitely helped. Thanks guys.

We've got a large service and we're tracking around 10 million unique visitors with over 40 million page views daily. We just started using memcached and it's really helped. I was really excited to hear about some of these other real-world technologies people are using as it's a constant challenge to improve speed & reliability.

To followup the games angle, I meant to mention XNA studio. How well can you develop for that using a Mac?

RE: Episode 5: Developing .NET Software on a Mac

Chess — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 17:34:17 GMT

Great show! Any more links to more articles and stories concerning .Net development on a Mac? Also curious if games for windows like StarCraft work ok if you bootcamp into XP. Some people enjoy developing mods for games, hence the slant on that.

trac is trac.edgewall.org and has integrated wiki, ticket system, source code (can use subversion or git or other backends) &tc.

I was using several API's to display pages with mysql stuff wrapped around it. Crashed several times because of max 25 sql connections. But that shouldn't be too restricting of a number if the page loaded quickly. So the bottleneck was how long each mysql connections was left open (during cURL stuff).

Page views was not the problem, elapsed time for building pages was.

RE: Episode 4: Scaling Large Web Sites with Joe Stump, Lead Architect at DIGG

keithelder — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 18:34:20 GMT

@Josh, curious as to how many page views 10k visitors gave you? If those 10k visitors clicked on 8 page views a day that is still less than one page a second since there are 86,400 seconds in a day. Most sites should be able to handle 1 page view a second easily in my opinion without even trying to optimize anything.

RE: Episode 4: Scaling Large Web Sites with Joe Stump, Lead Architect at DIGG

Josh — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:41:46 GMT

I crashed and burned with < 10k visitors in a day. Listening now, hope this helps me out as I'm desperate for some of this info.

What is the "track svn" solution mentioned? It's an integrated SNV and Bug Tracking system, but I can't seem to find out exactly what he is talking about.
