  • Where did my day go? Oh, wait... I've been trying to copy files with MSBuild

    I've spent most of my day today trying to copy some files from one location to another using MSBuild. This is something I've done plenty of times before, but in this case I was trying to do something other than just copy an entire directory of files. I'll be the first to admit to being a...

  • Code Reuse and Sharing - Source Code or Binary?

    For several years now I've been involved in a long running consultancy project with a local software development outfit. They are a small outfit and, not meaning to be derogatory in any way, their developers are mainly self-taught from the bedroom hacker school of coding. This team freely admits that...

  • My Developer's Reading List

    I'm a firm believer that a professional developer should also be a reader. You don't stop learning the day you walk out of college and any developer worth their salt will continue to learn through reading books on the subject of software development. I thought it about time that I posted my own personal...

  • Windows Registry - Villain or Hero

    I know it comes in for quite a bit of villification, but when you stop to think about it the Windows registry is in many respects a good idea.
