• ReSharper vs. CodeRush+Refactor! Pro – The Battle Begins

  Posted: 21 May 2009 at 16:18 by Jimmy

  After Visual Studio 2010 has been released my first question was when DevExpress will release plug-in for the Beta. After few minutes with Google I found that it will not be very soon. To be more precise, I couldn’t find anything on that at all. On the other hand, I found that ReSharper for VS2010 will available in about a month. That gave me a kick to try to use ReSharper and maybe even switch over. Over next few weeks we are going to see how it will end up.

• Early morning train

  Posted: 09 May 2009 at 16:37 by Jimmy

  Finally I have some spare time to actually sit down and write something ant even this only because I'm in the 6.48 in the morning train for London and apart of sleeping I have nothing better to do. It's been a while since my last post and I think I lost my blogging commitment somewhere. Assuming I ever had any. Anyway, that is not really relevant to what I wanted to write about.

• Building Community

  Posted: 14 Sep 2007 at 16:10 by Ziemowit

  I think everyone knows how important community is. Or at least everyone should know that. I think that is even more vital for teams we are working with. After all communication is one of the primary principals, not only according to agile, and how to communicate better if we don’t know each other we
