Ditch the IDE, become a blade master with Vim.

I am a huge fan of text editors. While I have taken a few GUI editors for a spin, I always come back to Terminal Vim. In this post, I’m going to develop an argument as to why you should stop using IDEs and pick up an editor using Vim as my end example. If […]

A C# developer learns Swift Part 4: UI Basics

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 UI programing in IOS can be simple, yet is a little rough at the same time.  I’ve been working in WPF for the past couple of years, and I prefer it to any other UI framework I’ve tried.  It’s one of those things Microsoft got right. With WPF you do […]

A C# developer learns Swift Part 3: API Callbacks

Part 1, Part 2 Previously, I mentioned that a major hurdle to learning Swift was the state of the API. Primarily that it is still Objective C based.  Often your code will need to respond to external events generated by these libraries.  Unlike C#, neither Objective C or Swift have the equivalent to the “event” construct.  The […]

A C# developer learns Swift Part 2: Optionals

An Introduction to Swift Programming

Very few people who have delved into Apple’s programming domain develop an opinion that one could describe as neutral on the topic of Objective-C. Objective-C draws the ire of many, and the love of a small band. To understand the swift direction away from Objective-C that Apple now follows, one must first understand the nuances […]

C#’s New(ish) Asynchronous Features

On my current project, I was tasked with seeing if I could add some limited auto-complete functionality to the application.  The application centers around a designer view where the user drops in and links predefined elements to create a model.  In these user defined models, it is often necessary that the properties of one element […]

Better Testing in Go With Gocheck

As a quick reminder, golang is a really fun programming language to use. It even includes testing out of the box! Unfortunately, this out-of-the-box testing framework isn’t all that great. It lacks the syntactic sugar of mature frameworks like rspec or gtest. Of course, there are alternatives. I found an open-source library (licensed with Simplified […]
