Hi there, A little aside this one; something very, very cool that I’ve noticed with the advent of Visual Studio Update 2. Without question, this rates as a MUST CHECK OUT Visual Studio feature. The first complaint (and a valid one, no question about it) in regards to the C# Interactive Window was that running […]
Hello, This is my coup de grâce into coding snippets, which completes this mini-series (for now, at least). I wanted to do a tiny bit more Python, so began investigating which IDE to look into next: Stackoverflow – Which Python IDE Best Python IDE The Eric IDE project caught my eye initially, and definitely looks […]
Good evening folks! This is somewhat of an experimental post. I’ve written this purely ‘in the heat of battle’, whilst I was trying to illustrate how to do this. A little bit of a departure from my usual posts; whereby I research a subject and then give you a condensed and refined product. Why did […]
Hi all, This post forms part of a mini-series that I’d like to do surrounding the topic of code snippets. I have, for some time, been using these merrily within Microsoft SQL Server (which I’ll cover) but have neglected to look at creating custom snippets in every other environment I am privy to. Time to […]
Howdy happy campers. I want to discuss a piece, somewhat divergent from the topic of physical coding, although still a facet of development that is close to my heart (and easy to overlook in many respects when constantly mashing keys and churning out code); developer testing. More specifically, I want to provide a set of […]
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 […]
I wanted to outline some recent work I’ve done with the reCAPTCHA Google API. Although not too difficult to implement, I did struggle a little to find C# based server side examples on how to ultimately validate a CAPTCHA. To start us off however, what is reCAPTCHA? reCAPTCHA is essentially a mechanism to protect your […]
Hello beautiful people! It’s a fantastic, gorgeous Saturday morning (it’ll be Monday by the time I hit the publish button, such is the enormity of the post!); the birds are chirping, the sun is shining through the balcony windows (and there is a bloody wasp outside, STILL!!!) and my wife has left me…………to go on […]
A random spin-off for today, but thankfully a much, much shorter post for anyone who bled from their eyeballs when reading my last post! The focus for today is Python; what you’ll read about here is my initial insights. Looking at the clock, this equates to about just under an hour of reading and learning; […]
