Refactoring and code reviews

Shani Raba — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 06:05:03 GMT

I like the idea of sharing knowledge,
I also like to read and learn from open sources.
This is even better: daily -public- code review...

Writing Web-Resume

Shani Raba — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 04:56:02 GMT

I've been looking around for samples and some good advices for writing resumes and found this site: VisualCV

Mostly, I like this Engineer profile: http://www.visualcv.com/alex1
The really good part is the "code sample" section on the top-right corner...

Have fun...

Dev Academy 3 - download the lectures

Shani Raba — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:04:19 GMT

Dev Academy 3 just finished, but if you feel you missed a lecture or maybe missed the whole day, you can sit back download the code and full length lectures.

You can find everything in here http://www.microsoft.com/israel/msdn/devacademy3/2.aspx.
Pay attention: while the presentation were written in English, the session all of them were in Hebrew but you can also enjoy the code.

I recommend on this lectures:

Dev301, Eyal Vardi lectures about Http Web Services: Great performer, good subject, lots of code
Dev 402, Sasha Goldshtein lectures about Concurrent Programming: I didn't like his style, but still some great samples.
Arc 301, Yair Siwek lectures about "Velocity": Great performer, funny guy. You must watch this session.

Enjoy.

New home to my blog

Shani Raba — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:13:25 GMT

After almost two years on Pasha's shared host (ServerGrid) I've finally got my blog to have its own home, I am hosting on GoDaddy.com.
{Pasha - thank you for everything}

What's new:

new host server
new theme
new dasblog version (2.1)

Things to be done (or: still to fix):

broken links - Images are not located at the right directory
blogroll - I had the default blogroll which is not my real reading list

I am looking forward to hear you comments.

I am Twittering

WCF Presentation & Hands on Labs

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 21:20:12 GMT

Last Thursday Nati & I gave two days lecture (as I've already talked about last week)

The first was day dedicated to explain SOA buzz & the WCF basic samples to resolve the plumbing's Hell.
The second day was dedicated to a deep_WCF_dive.
We also had two Hands On Labs samples to assist the students in practicing the daily issues.

Here you can find the two presentations (day #1, day #2) you can also read more about the two days course at Nati's post.

For me it was the first time doing such lecture & HOL - I had a great time and would probably do it again...

The presentations were inspired by:

Juval Lowy's IDesign temple
Oren Ellenbogen for some great images (taken from his presentation about Code Templating)
Justin Smith which we use his WCF lecture at Tech-Ed as the template to our presentation.

Week off work (Or: My first Sushi dinner)

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 14:36:35 GMT

My managers came to me and told me that I must take a vacation for the end of the year. So I found myself yesterday on the night of the new year at the kitchen start cooking a special dinner to my girlfriend (vacation means no work at home too).
I already cooked before but this time I tried Sushi, all you out there it is damn easy (and delicious), try this at home.

Here are some pictures from my first Sushi (pictures taken using my Logitech Quickcam) -

Here are some good links (Sushi-Casts) for all of you PC-boys out there (without kitchen experience):

Sushi & Software development:

Making Sushi (or food) is like coding, first you need to know the language (ingredients), afterward you need a little debugging while cooking or doing your stuff (integrating the ingredients together) and at the end you need to listen to the users, So: I am waiting to you, my friends, to come and taste it.

You also need a prototype for starting, after the first prototype you will probably need to make some changes, this things you can't learn from watching videos or reading books alone, you need to roll up your sleeves and start working.

Special thanks to Nati (the Sushi master).
