When you are employed as a developer, you usually don’t get a chance to choose on what you will work. It might be a new application that must be written, it might be an old one that needs maintaining, or it might be a legacy system in which you have to plug holes just to keep it at float. Whatever the case, there is one thing that is al...
I'm looking for any decent .Net membership components which can take the membership prodvider settings from the web.config and display the users / groups on an ASP .Net web page. I have a client requirement to be able to update / create / delete users as well as add / remove them from groups. There must be a decent control set out there...
I have roughly 8 years experience working as a software developer on many technologies. I know my stuff, but I really want to become a technical manager so I can have more control and responsibility on a project. I also know a fair bit about architecture, estimation, how to manage people, interact with clients, write specifications and...
I have been tasked with figuring out how many lines of code I've written this year. Not very exciting for a number of reasons, but it seems like it could make a nice SO question. So in your favorite version control tool, how do you tell how many lines of code have been modified? In my particular answer blank lines and comments happen...
I do not yet have 3 years of experience in development, and I have been reading management books by people such as Michael Lopp, Joel Spolsky, the Art of Project Management, and Rapid Development by Steve McConnell and others. I love to read these books since I feel I am in an organization where managers are as evil as depicted in some ...
Everybody is talking about it and a talk on a conference yesterday really sparked my interest in actually moving stuff in our business to the cloud but I'm still barely scratching the surface of what is possible. My idea is creating an integrated project management tool that hooks up with our dev servers (Mosso/rackspace?), documents (G...
If a company has developed a framework for doing almost everything their business requires, but has following problems : With evolution and change of ownership the design has degraded. ( Absurd hierarchies ) Is not up to date with latest trends in enterprise software development. (Data Sets!!) Too many dependent modules. ( Not interfa...
What are the reporting lines when using SCRUM methodology as compared to a "tranditional" matrix organisation where developers report to development managers, project managers and any other stakeholder at the time? ...

We also introduced overnight builds and automatic SW testings in oder to be able to track down errors as soon as possible. The applications and librarie...
I'd like to write my own music streaming web application for my personal use but I'm racking my brain on how to manage it. Existing music and their location's rarely change but are still capable of (fixing filename, ID3 tags, /The Chemical Brothers instead of /Chemical Brothers). How would the community manage all of these files? I ca...

I was wondering how databases are managed in open source projects which are usually hosted in repositories like CVS or SVN. Placing codes in the SVN is very logical as it allows different team members to get updated pieces of code but how about databases? Are their schemas and contents (.sql files I assume) placed inside the SVN too? In...
Being on the student council, I want to make a website for my high school. The website basically should allow the students to select the courses they are attending from a list of courses. For each course, the following features are needed: - Teachers should be able to list assignments, deadlines and tests. - Teachers should be able to up...
Hi, I'm looking for a way to embed text files in my binaries (like windows resource system). I need something thats also platform independant (works in windows and linux). I found qt resource management to be what I need but Im not keen on my app depending on qt for this alone. I also found this tool at http://www.taniwha.com/~paul/res/...
I've spent several years in software development, using many different languages/technologies. To be clear, I have 10 years of software development experience myself. Now as I want to advance in my career, it seems most companies that I would want to work for desire a very specialized technical pedigree - even for a manager/director le...
I want to have a base class which dictates the alignment of the objects which inherit from it. This works fine for the heap because I can control how that gets allocated, and how arrays of it get allocated in a custom array template. However, the actual size of the class as far as C++ is concerned doesn't change at all. Which is to say i...
I'm 26. Long story short: I've been programming for over half my life all the way from 8088 ROM BASIC to TP to VB to C++ to C#. Lately, I've been less interested in coding, and more interested in overall project design (particularly UI design), managing a team, and taking care of clients. Don't get me wrong -- coding is still fun and I'...
My company is undergoing a reasonably major relocation project and my manager, who works in a different building, will soon be located even further from my team and I than before. While it would be fair to say we didn't see a lot of him before, his presence, involvement and interest in my team's progress is likely to all but disappear n...
