Tech Breakfast - September

15 Rules to Better Code and Tools to keep you Code Healthy (including FX Cop)
Friday 23rd September 2005
8:00am - 11:00am

Are you looking to eradicate bugs and ensure consistency? Learn how to take control of your code, ensuring large, complex source code can be simplified, cleaned and maintained. The focus is on the most popular .NET languages (C#, VB.NET) for both Windows Forms and ASP.NET; however, you will learn how to maintain quality code in any language.

As a project or company grows, managing code standards throughout your team becomes virtually impossible. Consistent code is crucial to future development and maintenance. Learn how to review your web apps and projects.

The tools we will explore include FX Cop, SSW Code Auditor, and Re-Sharper.

Do you send Morning Goals?

At SSW we email the tasks we plan to achieve that day (only!) to our client (CCing our manager) within 10 minutes of sitting at the desk, before we make any phone calls or write any emails. This ensures our clients are fully aware of the work taking place - and gives them a chance to change the priorities. It also allows us to get better at estimating what we will achieve in a day. These updates are particularly useful for off-site work and most on-site work - unless a client choses to manage the project down to the task level, and performs daily status checks. We:

  • Forward the previous morning goal from yesterday, striking out completed items
  • Comment (in a different colour) and give the reason whether any items were not completed
  • Copy outstanding items to today's morning goals, appending any new information
  • If a task is huge (e.g. clean up my email inbox) and we only aim to do a portion of it, we say so in the morning goals as well.


  • Note: You can use SSW eXtreme Emails! to send morning goals automatically.

    SSW .NET Toolkit - Develop Applications More Efficiently

    SSW Team Calendar

    Develop Applications More Efficiently with SSW .NET Toolkit

    The SSW .NET Toolkit is an example of a distributed multi-layer application based on the Microsoft Northwind database. Designed by Developers for Developers, the real-world source can be used as a model and basis for custom-designed applications perfect for small and medium enterprise (SME) applications. Microsoft's examples like Duwamish You are about to leave the SSW site and IBuySpy You are about to leave the SSW site are code intensive and marketed towards architects, not developers.
