Introducing “Force Feedback Programming”

Background We all know that feedback is important. Without feedback, you will never know if you have things done right and you might never see mistakes or problems. Feedback helps us to improve the things we are doing and creating. More importantly, it helps us to improve ourselves. In addition, feedback is more efficient if given directly – in a timely manner. The earlier you get feedback, the…

New articles in DotNetPro Magazine 06/16

The DotNetPro magazine published two new articles from me. The first is about IncrediBuild and how you can speed up your build processes with the grid framework. But be aware: build processes are not the only thing you can speed up with IncrediBuild. QA? 3D Graphics Rendering? Time-consuming calculations? No problem for IncrediBuild. Read more in the DotNetPro magazine 06/16. about the new Team…

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.

Here's an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 22,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 8 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

#SpeakRoslyn at #DevOpenSpace – Retrospect

The Developer Open Space in Leipzig

The #DevOpenSpace is a swarm-funded developer conference in Leipzig (Germany) organized by Torsten Weber. From developers for developers. The conference has no agenda, and so the audience determines the topics they will talk about. They use the World Cafe approach for that. That means, people suggest the subjects and then vote for them. Topics with the most…

MSDN Dive – Week 38

MSDN Dive – Week 38

The Asynchronous Programming Model (APM) and the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern (EAP) are marked as legacy by Microsoft. The new pattern is called TAP – Task-based Asynchronous Pattern. So there is a lot to learn again. In this weekly MSDN Dive I want to show you some very interesting documentation and resources regarding parallel programming in the Microsoft .NET Framework.

MSDN Dive – Week 37

MSDN Dive – Week 37

Today I want to show you some documentation that is not directly from the MSDN. Instead, it comes from the team that works on the CoreCLR. So this documentation can be found on GitHub. The CoreCLR is the Open Source implementation of the .NET Runtime from Microsoft. It is open and cross-platform.

I selected this documentation since it is very interesting from a technical point…
