One of the ways that I keep myself organized is by sending myself emails in GMail… I usually put links to things I want to look at later, and since I’m now doing a cleansing of my "note to self" emails, you get to benefit! 
Mockito – The New Mock Framework on the Block
:
- I haven’t used it (yet), but the whole Test Spy concept (as being a half-way point between stubs and mocks) is very interesting
- I’m actually going to forward this around work a bit to see if this is easier for people to swallow, because EasyMock is being choked on (because it’s so heavy) by some of our developers.
- Here’s the home page for Mockito
- I haven’t been doing a lot of front-end work lately, but this article on Wikipedia discusses a pattern that we were sorely lacking at my last gig.
The capture-recapture code inspection:
- I haven’t yet found the right set of words to convince an employer that systemic organization-wide code reviews are a Good Thing, but I’d like to submit this article as another point of reference in the code-review effort.
Ajax testing with Selenium using waitForCondition:
- Here’s a helpful bit about using Selenium to test AJAX apps
Tom Brady on Software Management:
- I gotta say that one of the most powerful ways of showing me that my efforts are needed is when my employer seems thirsty for my code. At my current job, I put in a weekend working on a pet, side-ish project… And when I got back the next week, it was already planned to get used. That is the kind of substantive feedback (more than talk) that makes me feel needed and appreciated.
- Interesting… Now that I am working in a startup, it seems like we are always just on the edge of being late or behind the curve. I wonder what a 4-day work week would look like, considering I usually do about 5.5 or more work days a week…
- This is really good advice.
- I think it’s funny, but I’ve had fewer and fewer inclinations to create a Singleton since I’ve been getting so involved with Spring.
JSONVid: Pure JavaScript Video Player:
- Ooh! An alternative to Flash for video in a browser?!? It’d be nice, wouldn’t it?
