Just a quick update on stuff because I got a lot of questions about StoryTeller over the weekend. I'm currently focusing my attention on StructureMap . I'm giving it the Python 3000 treatment and pretty well gutting some of the internals to clean up the structure. I've eliminated some obscure...

I've had a couple people over the last couple weeks ask about how to get access to the StoryTeller source code. All you need to do is register for a user account on Tigris and use those credentials when you're challenged by SVN for credentials. The source code itself is at http://storyteller...

Ayende has a post up this morning called Inverting Inversion of Control where he talks about registering services with an IoC container at runtime. Ayende is specifically saying that this technique is useful for injecting services that you either can't control the creation of or simply want to construct...

Last week I did a talk at DevTeach called "Creating a Maintainable Software Ecosystem" ( the slide deck is here ). On one of my slides I had the following bullet point: NEVER build and deploy from a developer environment Even though it showed up on the slide I don't think I got around to...

Last week or so there was a thread on the altnetconf message board that about a usage of the Visitor pattern for validating a hierarchy of objects. At work I'm using the Visitor pattern with some frequency in my financial projects to deal with heterogeneous collections of financial elements. Over...

I finally put the StoryTeller source code back into subversion today. There was more than enough interest in StoryTeller at ALT.NET to encourage me to go on. The first order is still to get StoryTeller as it is going, but the next steps may be adding support for other type of acceptance testing tools...

I owe some folks a couple blog posts, but I had to get this puppy out of the way. This white whale is swimming free, but I've got StoryTeller in my harpoon sights. I announced StoryTeller nearly a year ago and its finally getting close to a real release. The tagline is simply this: "StoryTeller...

If anybody's game, I'm making the first beta release of StoryTeller next week. I'll use the latest version over the next week at work to work out the kinks, but other sets of eyes would be appreciated. If you're interested, could you drop me a line via the contact link on this page. Thanks...

Quick Note: I love *what* Fit testing accomplishes, but the mechanics are an issue. There's a rumor floating around that a bunch of test automation gurus are going to work up some ideas for how to "save" Fit testing. Anybody feel like commenting? I don't know anymore details that that...

The title is a mouthful and accurately implies an alarmingly high jargon to code ration, but I just didn't see anyway to write this post without straying into all of these different subjects. When you try to write an explanatory article you have to walk a tightrope between a sample problem that's...
