I just realized, I never posted my paper on TDD

I just realized, I never uploaded my paper on Effects of Test Driven Development (TDD) to my blog. So here it is.
I’m sorry, it’s in German. If you need to know something, just let me know in the comments and I’ll try to translate it for you.

I love @useClear for iPhone #UX

I just played with the Clear todo app and I love the gestures. The only thing I missed was UNDO by shaking the device.

Get the app on the app store: http://itunes.com/apps/clear

One Div Zero: A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages

1801 - Joseph Marie Jacquard uses punch cards to instruct a loom to weave “hello, world” into a tapestry. Redditers of the time are not impressed due to the lack of tail call recursion, concurrency, or proper capitalization.

E-Book Gesture Interface

It’s a prototype demo, but some gestures are really nice. I’m not really sure what will be the right gesture to turn multiple pages, but I kindof like the very simple one where you slide with 2, 3 or four fingers to turn 2,3 or 4 pages respectively.

Google’s basic meeting rules

  • Every meeting must have one clear decision maker. If there’s no decision maker — or no decision to be made — the meeting shouldn’t happen.
  • No more than 10 people should attend.
  • Every person should give input, otherwise they shouldn’t be there.
  • No decision should ever wait for a meeting. If a meeting absolutely has to happen before a decision should be made, then the meeting should be scheduled immediately.

My testing framework is written in CoffeeScript and fits in a Tweet.

And this is meant including examples and documentation. ;-)
This is my little framework:

1 
tests = {ok:(->true),should_have:->false};console.log( if t() then ’.’ else “\n#{d} FAILED\n”) for d,t of tests #coffescript #testing
Just create an object where all keys are descriptions of the functions and functions have to return true or false.

The examples could be a little bit more specific though.
