**** What's oopsla up to? The leading forum for innovative and thought-provoking ideas in object-oriented programming for 21 years, oopsla is taking on today's...
... The meetings are on informal hiatus at the moment; we seems to have run out of speakers / topics. Also, agile/XP ideas seems to be spreading through the...
... I wonder if perhaps this group should morph into something else then. I was thinking that there should be a group concentrating on advanced programming...
So I ran across this the other day. I saw it at http://behaviour- driven.org/. Would anyone venture an opinion on this? It looked like an interesting...
... As a young developer i would love to share ideas on advanced programming topics. I'm unfortunately in a work position where i have to be the lead in terms...
... In part, that's because so many of us have seen all of that done wrongly. Testing frameworks and source control, when done poorly, can be a nuisance, but...
"For instance, how many teams are still using CVS or SVN, despite their known inadequacies?" Heck, we just switched from CVS to Subversion... what are the...
... I'm using SVN - what known inadequacies? We seem to be doing just fine with it. The only problem we ever run into is when two developers edit a winform...
... The big one is merge tracking, which was on the docket for the first release, but then deferred because it was hard. It's now slated to be included in...
... Branching and merging is far more useful than it first appears, if you have a tool that does both operations quickly and well. Something that might not be...
... My team has been using svnmerge for a couple years and it does exactly that: track which revisions have been merged from each branch. You can tell it to...
... Thanks. At first look, SVN+svnmerge appears to be a much more pleasant toolset than SVn alone. I'm going to point it out to our team here and also on my...
This is exactly the kind of discussion I was hoping for. It seems like there's quite a bit of interest in it too. What do people think about starting a new...

Kyle, Thanks for the information re: SVN, git and mercurial. It was a very interesting video and now I'm going to have to check out git. Linus makes a pretty...
Good stuff. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what BDD is. But I like the ideas I've heard. http://behaviour-driven.org/ ... From: oferrigni To:...
I think that the downside to 'git' and related distributed tools is that you have to accept the idea of summary checkins -- "This is the checking of everything...
... This is not true - rather, what you have described as a problem with git is actually a key problem that git solves (where git = git itself and other...
... That seems to be specific to only certain distributed tools. Arch (ie, tla and perhaps derivatives like bazaar) do this sort of thing, where if you're...
... This is the key feature I wish I had right now at work. We've got * Feature A, targeted at the June release that got backed out at the last moment and...
I know Lean ain't XP but there are many synergies. I am doing a webinar next week that should prove to be a good introduction to Lean Software Development....
