“Icky” Decisions

@KeithDahlby posted a good question for thought the other day on “the” Twitter:
When implementing the Observer pattern, how do you handle exceptions from observers?
This seemingly harmless question should spark at least a good 15 minute debate. An obvious question (and the one I asked):
Do you care if an observer throws an exception?
If you consider [...]

Lessons Learned About Presenting by Being a Presenter

Public speaking was a skill I consider important and continue to struggle with as I do more presenting. During my mid-twenties working full-time and going to school helped shape how I viewed classroom learned concepts and skills and applying them in the “real-world”. Throughout my career I have been fortunate enough to present to various [...]

Getting to SOLID

The acronym for SOLID has been making rounds for some time now. SOLID is a set of principles that will help you write code that is easier to understand, maintain, and simple.
Writing SOLID code is not easy and takes effort and craftsmanship. The road to SOLID is not a direct route and you’ll need [...]

My good friend and colleague David posted “Growing as a Developer” and highlights two key points that helped him grow as a developer. While he gives me some kudos for being one that influenced him, he also influenced me and gave me new perspectives to look at. I will miss being able to seek out [...]
Exploring the TouchPanel API with the Zune HD & XNA 3.1

While I have been fully enjoying my Zune HD experience I decided I should give apps a try after seeing the announcement about XNA Studio 3.1 and the XNA Extensions for the Zune HD. I have explored XNA a little prior to this but did not really dig into it. With my Zune HD in [...]

Great talk on Monday. SOLID is hard to fit into an hour. You could almost do an entire hour on every aspect, except maybe Liskov.
Something I would stress more, even though you probably could never stress it enough is how this enables testing. I would ask people “How many people feel unit testing adds value?”. While their hands were up, I would ask “…adds A LOT of value and confidence?” ….with their hands still up ” How many people actually write unit tests?”. You’ll get 3 or 4. When asked why, people will say it’s hard to test, there’s no time, etc.
I would argue, you can’t write good unit tests unless you’re SOLID. You can’t isolate the class you want to test and avoid the nasty integration tests all the way to the database if you’re newing up all your dependencies inline and have methods that do a thousand different things.
You HAVE to be SOLID in order to write tests.
SRP, O/C, IoC are foundations for every aspect of amazing code; modularity, extensibility, re-usability.
Great talk. I always love it when there isn’t a single bullet point in the entire slide deck!

Thanks Mark. I wish I could have gone into that more too! Fortunately I think those talks are on the way. Next month one of my colleagues is going to cover IoC & StructureMap. If you’re up for it you should volunteer to do one on testing!

That’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but the thought of it terrifies me…for now.
