My brother, who is a DevOps and integrations whizz, got around to quizzing me, after hearing chatter amongst the nearby developer folk in his building, about the wonderful world of classes and instances, as they pertain to C#. I reeled off the best explanation I could as I sipped on the best damn gin ever […]
There was no need for this post to exist or for these four hundred and thirty-eight (with brackets and other nonsense) random lines of C# code to even see the light of day. For some unknown reason, I woke up over the weekend and spent an hour watching Gordon Ramsay YouTube videos when I came […]
Howdy all, Firstly, a big old fashioned apology for not being ‘on-the-wire’ much over recent weeks. It’s been an interesting time having accepted an exciting new job, which is amazing; but I’ve also had to contend with a few other sizeable life-boulders off to the side. Nothing I can’t handle, of course, so here I […]
Firstly, apologies are in order…I couldn’t resist the incredibly cheesy title. Secondly, this post has absolutely nothing to do with being lazy (a trait I’m sure is attached to us developers on a regular basis, ahem!), in the traditional sense at least. Nope, today we’ll be looking at the lazy keyword in C# and trying […]
Evening all, This post has been in the works for a while but, due to a wee bit of sickness and a sudden busy schedule outside of work, it’s been waiting in the wings for a little longer than it should have been. Apologies about that guys and girls! Anyway, I wanted to expose a […]
What can I learn about F# in the time it takes to drink a coffee, eat some biscuits and listen to a few tracks on Spotify; let’s find out. This post was supposed to be entitled “Thirty Minutes With…F#” but I ended up getting far too engrossed and a couple of hours skipped by (followed […]
I’ve had a super quick tour of Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition and I have to say I’m pretty impressed as it stands. I’m currently downloading Unity 5 and will be installing the latest toolkits shortly that go hand in hand with this. In the meantime, I’ve been looking at some of the new debugging […]
I won’t be using ‘real world’ coding samples here, for obvious reasons, but I’ll lay out a scenario so you can (hopefully!) see how a spot of decompiling/recompiling could come in handy. An issue rolled its way to me that related to a legacy/archaic .Net website utilising a WCF service. First issue, important parts of […]
A staple of TDD (Test Driven Development), although not quite how I’ve implemented it here (as I already have too much code hanging around prior to writing any tests), the humble Unit Test is something I’ve wanted to dedicate a little bit of time to for a while; so here it is. Inclusion of Unit […]
This project has been moving along at a nice, steady pace; here’s a run-down of the progress and first round of decisions I’ve made surrounding the games architecture. I don’t plan on showing every single line of code. Instead, I’ll focus on the core structural work I’ve done and just list out details on a […]
