    It has been one month since we introduced formal code reviews as part of our development process, and I thought it fitting to do a review of the code reviews - effectively a Code Review Retrospective. Rather than creating a list of n reasons why you should...

  • Book Reviews: UML Distilled and Sun Certified Enterprise Architect Study Guide

    One of my personal goals for 2010 is to do more reading – specifically related to software development, design and architecture. So far everything’s going pretty well! The plan actually started in December with Martin Fowler’s UML Distilled,...

  • Which version of NetWeaver am I running?
