This blog is inactive. Visit www.outofscope.com. Web engineering and software development. Embracing users with multiple personality disorder. May 15, 2010. One account, multiple profiles. What I suggest is that upon registering on a website, one account is created. The only information associated with the account would be what is needed to contact that person and to login, so a name and an email adress (or the OpenID account used to open the account for example) would sufice. At the end of 2009, they no...

Stuck with bad code? Wrap it up » Crossbrowser

This blog is inactive. Visit www.outofscope.com. Web engineering and software development. Stuck with bad code? Mar 30, 2011. For me, code usability is just as important for programmers as is usability of a UI. Less usability means less usage of your product/library which means less feedback and eventually less profit. But what can we do when we're stuck with a bad library? Wrap up the bad code inside your own component and make it easy to use. Comments powered by Disqus.

Var oneYear = new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); var threeMonths = new TimeSpan(0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0);. Not exactly pretty isn't it? With extension classes, this can now become:. Var oneYear = 1.Years(); var threeMonths = 3.Months();. For more information, visit the project page. You'll also find a link to download the library (libraries actually, there's one specific for the Web). Comments powered by Disqus.

This blog is inactive. Visit www.outofscope.com. Web engineering and software development. Mar 30, 2010. If you haven't heard of Dropbox. From a programmer's point of view, it behaves like a folder under version control that automatically syncs any time something new is added or modified. It takes care of merging and conflicts without ever bothering you (in case of conflicts, it just shows both files and renames one of them appropriately). That offers the basic functionnalities of Dropbox. I'm a web deve...
