This week I started the Coursera course Functional Programming Principles in Scala with Martin Odersky as instructor.

One of my first step was to have JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA working with the Scala programming language so that I can work on the course assignments using my preferred IDE.

I updated to Windows 8.1 RTM a week ago and since that time I had the issue that AMD Radeon™ RAMDisk was not running but even worse I could not uninstall it because the uninstaller was saying that it was the wrong version of the operating system!
I was using it on Windows 8, it was working great on it but after the update it wasn’t anymore.

Today I had the pleasure to attend “Git and GitHub Training” held by Tim Berglund one of the GitHubber, so called because he is working at Github.

In the past I enjoyed very much the video Tim and Matthew McCullough, another GitHubber, did for O’Reilly

I am happy to announce that I finally released today my first Visual Studio 2012 extension called Git Diff Margin.

This post is a transcript of an internal post I did on Innoveo Solutions internal blog. Thanks to Innoveo to let me share this here!

Skye Editor is our metal model editor which is written in C# 4, WPF uses Model-View-ViewModel design pattern and MVVM Light.

In my humble opinion it is definitely not a good idea! Why?

1. It is brittle test because it depends to the CPU load of the machine running the test. Maybe it runs fine on your development machine, and will for sure from time to time fail on your build server because of the load on the server. Continue reading

The subject of this article is the String Calculator proposed by Roy Osherove. The Kata is done in C# uses Visual Studio 2012, JetBrains Resharper 7 and NCrunch.

But what is a TDD Kata? It is an implementation exercise starting with unit tests and leveraging refactoring that you practice daily for around 15 to 30 minutes.

I love my Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000. I have one at home and one at work.

But there is two things which I don’t really like as a developer:

On February I posted about “Running your TeamCity builds from PowerShell for any Git branch” and now I have to configure a new ssh key so that TeamCity can connect to Gitlab.

I struggled a bit getting continuous error message from TeamCity that the connection failed because it was enable to load identity file. File rights were all ok on the key file and everything looked fine. But still the error message.

I previously talked about “Running Github Hubot on a Windows machine”, “Using Github hubot and Appharbor service hook to get deployment status in Campfire/HipChat rooms” or even “Starting TeamCity builds from HipChat using Github Hubot”.

All those solution rely on an external chat service either Altassian HipChat or 37signals Campfire.
