The last couple weeks have been pretty busy for me. Between giving presentations, at work and at usergroups, and working on the 2nd Player Podcast. Well next week should slow down considerably and I hope to put out a few more posts about coding. One is going to be about Persistence Driven Design, […]

ROOP (programming language)
October 3rd, 2007 · No Comments
After claiming the #1 search rank in Google for daniel roop, I decided to set my eyes on a higher prize. Some people suggested I should try to claim daniel, now aside from this being a biblical character reference, it is a fairly popular name. So the odds of me being the most […]

Actionscript 3.0 Object Equality
September 2nd, 2007 · 9 Comments
This weekend I began tinkering around with FlexUnit 2.0 for Actionscript 3.0. So far I am excited about the framework. It doesn’t do much, but it does the basics. When writing some of my tests I found I needed to compare two objects together. I know how to handle this in […]

Model Glue Flex

So I finally got a chance to play around with the alpha of Model-Glue Flex and I must say I am rather impressed. I never got a chance to use the ColdFusion version of the framwork, but Model-Glue Flex is an order of magnitude better than the other frameworks I have seen for Flex, […]

I have been doing a lot of reading lately about MDSD and DSLs and I have to admit the ideas they suggest are rather seductive. I don’t mean that in a negative way, I simple mean the end goal of these two techniques are to bring the developer closer to solving the problem domain […]

Scott Hanselman caught up with DHH and Martin Fowler at railsconf and started a discussion on RIA and where it fits into web applications. I believe in my previous article I was a little more open minded about the topic, but these two bring up some very interesting and valid points.

current_page?
April 24th, 2007 · No Comments
This weekend I found myself caught in a love/hate relationship with a certain method in rails. I love this method because it uses some sort of mind control to know exactly when to show a link and when to show text. This method I speak of is UrlHelper.link_to_unless_current. My beef is not […]

TallyHoh OpenID
April 22nd, 2007 · 3 Comments
I was going through my feeds this morning on Tallyhoh and I came across Adam Fortuna’s post on Problems with OpenID?. He was discussing a post done over at Factory City a site I hadn’t seen before.

Resful Resources

Over the last two weeks Tyler and I have been coding like mad men, after work to get closer to a feature complete TallyHoh beta. One of annoying things I came across when I was making the transition to Resful Rails, was attempting to set a format using the special path/url methods.

Java to Coldfusion HashMap
February 12th, 2007 · 1 Comment
As some of you know I do web application development. The languages of choice for my current employer is coldfusion and java with some flex thrown in there for good measure. Last Friday I began experience a very odd bug with the two so decided I would share my findings with the world.
