LINKBLOG for April 14, 2008

• Session, ForEach, and a ShallowCopy walk into a bar... - Michael C. Neel
  ... no jokes in this post, but you definitely won't forget the difference between a shallow copy and a deep copy anymore


• Pattern Matching in C# - Part 6 - Bart de Smet
  


• A Wild Horse Called Chaos - Steven M Smith
  ' If a people manager sees chaos as rebellious, they may resort to tactics similar to a inhumane horse trainers (...) That makes the surface of the organization look smooth, but underneath it's churning with fear and anger '


• Nulls and Lifting Member Access - Ian Griffiths
  Ian covers a lot of ground here and explains us difficult/new/complete/whatever topics like expression tree rewriting (admit, you're already heading to MSDN to read up on them :-)
  thanks Jason!


• Maintaining “Inbox Zero” with Google Apps - Judi Sohn
  About using GTD: ' here’s one tenant I hold close to my heart: only touch an email once '
  Personally I'm happy using GTD in Outlook, but if you don't mind installing another GMail extension and do some wizardry, you can have GTD in GMail too


• Sufficiency In Software Testing - Preston Lee
  On Testing: how to know when enough is enough


• The American Dream: 17 Years of Engineering Software - Alex Iskold
  Alex is a US citizen for some time now, and reflects on all the things he learned in that time


• [Flags] and you - Take 2 - Yoav Sion
  ' Comparing enum values can sometime leave your code a little messy and inaccessible if you (once again) did not document it properly '


• .NET - Team Foundation Server – Eventing Service - Part 1 (Subscribing to events) - dotNet Curry
  Apart from this tool, I'm aware of another one on Codeplex called Event Subscription Tool which gives you a GUI to implement your TFS event subscriptions

  (got it 'via' but lost the referer)


• Is it Time For a Portable Dumb Terminal? - Mike Gunderloy
  


• First Joel on Software conference - Joel Spolsky
  Impressive list of speakers, of whom free software man Richard Stallman probably stands a bit out


• BlogEngine.NET - Serious Security Issue! - Danny Douglass
  OK, word needs to to out but one thing: I know that we're all developers and want to understand stuff - still, is it really necessary to completely disclose the hole in this case. Just explain in general terms what is the problem, and offer the patch to the problem


• DocProject for Sandcastle @ Codeplex
  As a dormant fan of Sandcastle, I wasn't aware of DocProject, which looks like a must-have bridge between Sandcastle and Visual Studio / MSBuild
  Thanks David!
