Does any of you know a tool for software visualization, or visual code navigation in c#? I found a bunch of tools but they're all for Java for some reason. There's a list of them in wikipedia but none is for the .Net platform. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_visualization#Tools I'm very much interested in visual code navigation...
What desktop applications are there that sync with Lighthouse Issue Tracking site/service? Why? Desktop applications have infinitely better keyboard shortcuts, offline caching, and other things that absurd amounts of Javascript can only hope to achieve! I'm using Mac OS X, but answers for Windows/Linux (and iPhone, or cross-platform cl...
I just wanted to gauge how software industry is coping with the recession. Everyday we hear thousands being laid off( including Microsoft and Google recently). So, did the recession finally catchup to Software industry as well? Or is the Software industry immune to this recession? ...
Based on what criteria they choose the projects and what are the things based on which they choose a project...? ...
Is the forum software used here available for download? I think this would help others to start online discussions to help people on other topics. ...
For me software has been one of the most interesting, frustrating, diverse and amazing experiences I have had, so it wouldn't surprise me much if it were to surprise me again. Is there be such a thing as organic software ? Something organic would seem to be far from the notion of software, being that it lives as we write it in an env...
I need a site search engine to provide search for my members-only content. I've previously used Fluid Dynamics Search Engine but was wondering if there was anything that's been more recently updated. Needs to index content via site crawling as opposed to filesystem crawling as all content is in a database. Also needs to run under FreeBS...
In my company we develop a software product. Until now we haven't had any testers, so basically the developers were the testers, and of course the customer and users (not good). Our team now consists of 4 developers and we work mainly with Cruisecontrol, Flex, ASP.NET, IIS, MSSQLServer and WebORB. I am urging the managers to hire a test...
Yesterday I had a team leader of another team say that they took a while to figure out something I wrote on a wiki page because I referred to obtaining code from source control as "checking out" which apparently confused them. They said that they were use to Clear Case and had only heard of the term "joining a project" and said that the...
Like most people, I learnt C++ after C. I learnt C++ because it was one of those languages which fetched jobs. I am still studying (doing masters) though. One of my cousins has been working as a developer for around 12 years. He advises me to learn Java so that I can land up in a good job. He says only few sectors like tele communicatio...
Given the climate that this economy has created where every IT budget line is more closely scrutinized it seems like we as developers often need to work even harder to convince decision makers of why they should upgrade or go for the latest and greatest this or that. Given where things have been headed it seems like a very pertinent subj...
Has anyone experience with good software (or another way) of organising the individual tes scripts which need to be passed before a feature or whole release can be released to customers? I've heard good things about this http://www.rallydev.com/agile_products/lifecycle_management/test_management/ but am yet to use it myself. I know a lot...
What industry known software safety standards has anyone had experience in having to adhere to while developing software that is involved in controlling a device/system that has potential to harm the individuals using it? ...
One of my colleague tell me that he found himself working lot of hours at home about subjects he didn't finish at work, for example: bug he had this morning, and didn't finish, or writing spikes for understanding issues. The main idea he wanted to note is that he like reading and writing about new technologies and features at home (to e...
Are there any open source tools for building or designing houses? Does it have many features, like calculating costs or simulating extreme weather conditions/aging, etc? I had the idea to start up a project like this, or join it; I think it would be really neat, but I couldn't find anything on it. ...
Do you think managers should be ex-software developers with a lot of experience (10 years...)? (How can a manager with no software development know the difficulties that come with programming large scale projects?) I'm not trying to put managers in a negative light, but I am interested to hear from other managers and developers that do...
This question just really interested me, so I got curious to know what the community thinks. What do you guys think is the most difficult type of software to write? I write government software and have found it's pretty hair-pulling, but I'm sure there are far worse things out there. ...
I saw myself doing this and I was wondering if other people work like this as well: What I usually do when confronted with a software design problem is that I jot down "the ideal" solution, without taking into account feasibility or any other consideration. Then I peel away at it top-down, until I have the solution. Is that a methodolo...
How many of you tried to sell ASP.net to client or boss but go up against the wall of free OSS stacks(PHP, RoR...etc.)? Nothing wrong with OSS or ASP.net. I'm interesting in how to overcome selling ASP.net solution against OSS. ...
My company is building a product. It's going to be versioned by SVN. It's a webapp so basically there will never be a version out which doesn't have some features in them and thus could always be labeled as beta. But since it's going to be a corporate product I really don't want the "unstable watchout" on there. So how would you go about...
