We all know that having a good note taking tool is important as a developer. However, OneNote and Evernote forces us to be locked in to a particular vendor. Anyone know of good open-source tools, or even other method of taking notes w/o being "locked-in"? EDIT: I should kick myself in the head for not specifying. Taking text notes is ...
As JavaScript frameworks like jQuery make client side web applications richer and more functional, I've started to notice one problem... How in the world do you keep this organized? Put all your handlers in one spot and write functions for all the events? Create function/classes to wrap all your functionality? Write like crazy and jus...
As programmers I'm sure many (if not all) of us have scripts which automate parts of our daily work/play. I was curious as to how others organize their scripts? Do you categorize your scripts? Do you put them in source control? Do you follow any uniform coding conventionss? Do you document them? ...
In your workplace, where do you store your common, non-database specific scripts that you use in SQL Server? Do you keep them in .SQL scripts on the file server, do you store them in the Master database, or do you keep them in a database you defined specifically for these kinds of things? ...
Way back in the days when "delicious" was just "del.icio.us", I had assumed that everyone had finally caught on that Ontology is overrated. So why am I still having to roll my own tagging system using sqlite and a bunch of ruby scripts in order to address this obvious deficiency on my own local machine? I can tag on-line web links, blo...
This is a bit of a stretch, but I have an interesting (to me) programming (err... scripting? algorithmic? organizational?) problem. (I am tagging this in Ruby, because of my preference for Ruby for scripting.) Imagine you have 100 gigabytes of pictures floating around on multiple drives. There are likely a total of 25 gigabytes of uniqu...
I am curious as to whether or not anyone knows of a good reference/best practice on how to organize a website's assets. I have always had a folder for CSS/scripts/images and just dumped everything in there, but this gets out of hand as the site grows. On the other end of the spectrum I have heard of people creating a css/scripts/imag...

I'm one of those people who can't get anything done without a to-do list. If it isn't on the list it doesn't exist. Notepad Method: When I'm programming I've been keeping notepad open with a list of to-do's for my current project. I'll constantly re-arrange these based off priority and I cross them off and move them to the complete...

We have a solution with around 100+ projects, most of them C#. Naturally, it takes a long time to both open and build, so I am looking for best practices for such beasts. Along the lines of questions I am hoping to get answers to, are: how do you best handle references between projects should "copy local" be on or off? should every p...
How would you organize an entity that has 100s of properties? One could go as far to say 100s of properties, with a few Value Objects (as a few of the properties have 2 or 3 properties of their own). But the point is, how to handle the large number of properties. I am re-creating our model from the ground-up using DDD, and the current...

How do you grow from 6 to 20+ developers and maintain the same productivity? When I started at my company there were only 6 of us doing development. There were no communications issues.

I have an iPhone application that contains several views and their associated controllers. Looking at sample code, I've seen different different ways to organize these files - either have all of the views grouped, then all of the controllers grouped, or group the views and controllers by functionality. Option 1 - Views and controllers ...
At my company, we save each database object (stored proc, view, etc) as an individual SQL file, and place them under source control that way. Up until now, we've had a very flat storage model in our versioned file structure: DatabaseProject Functions (all functions here; no further nesting) StoredProcedures (all stored procs in h...
I have my project folder, for instance, myWeb. In it there are various folders like styles (for CSS), scripts (JS), php (for php scripts), and folders for 3 different languages, for instance: en(english), sp (spanish), cn (chinese). This sometimes gives me problems because the index or default page should be in the root directory but all...
Hey guys I'm relatively new to Xcode and one thing that has bothered me is that when I add a resource it gets added to the top level directory of my project directory. So for example, at the moment, all of my images are at the top level directory and it makes things look messy. I rather would've liked, for example, to have an images/ fol...
