I write articles and give presentations for the Developers Group, formally the UK Borland User Group.  From time to time I need to make source code or PowerPoint slides available - this is where to find them.  There is an RSS feed available: each time I add new content, the RSS feed is updated. If you have an RSS aggregator, such as RSSReader, you can subscribe to this content.

You are free to view any of my Developers Group articles here.

Test-Driven Development: a practical guide - book review

Published Nov/Dec 2003


developers magazine (Nov/Dec 2003)
Test-driven development (TDD) has become very popular in recent months. Until now there was only one textbook on the subject [Beck02]. “test-driven development: A Practical Guide“ by David Astels, was published in July 2003 and complements Beck’s original TDD work. This book is part of The COAD Series, named after Peter Coad, Borland’s Senior Vice President and Chief Strategist. The book itself is a little over 550 pages long and offers up-to-the-minute advice on how TDD can change your development and testing philosophy.

Cleaning up your act with the Microsoft SOAP Toolkit
Published
November 2000
Unfortunately my original draft of this article was way too long.  If you read the article and found that it lacked something, hopefully the documents presented here will fill that void.  The missing documents cover:

1. What does SOAP look like?
2. Creating a COM object in Delphi
3. Creating a web page to test the SOAP listener
