Architecture More competition! No, I am very glad to see my good friend and Architect Harry start a series like mine and Mike's with his Morning Coffee 10 . I'm going to have to quicken the pace-) Software Development/Tools JetBrains has released their 1 .2 version of their new CI and build solution, Team City . This is very intersting from three perspectives. The first is that Jet Brains arguabally makes the best Java IDE on the planet, IntelliJ . The second is the Extreme Programming/Agile angle in that Jet Brains has always understood thsi community much better than Microsoft/VSTS and this has been reflected in IntelliJ and now Team City's support of NAnt, NUnit, and many others. The third is (much needed) competition for VS.NET/VSTS/TFS so that they can get better as well. As Scott said very well, if Microsoft is going to ignore us (Hugo the Agilist), people will look more and more to IDEs and tools that directly support the way they do work.

New and Notable 104

You know what? Owning a pool really sucks-). Oh, it’s great to go in but not a lot of fun spending most of every Saturday going to the pool shop getting the water levels measured, spending $100 a week on chemicals, spending the rest of the day applying such chemicals, and endless vacuuming. Plus I have no F*&^^ idea what I’m doing-). Anyone sympathize? I have a whole bunch of stuff saved up since I couldn’t blog because even with 8 of us busting our humps we totally blew this Iteration (more later) and we’re all working in pieces this weekend (Yes, even on an Agile team!). It was a really awesome week for Ruby, especially in CLR land: Ruby/Rails Great news from John Gough (author of still the best CLR compiler book 4 years later) and crew at Queensland, with the preliminary Beta release of the Gardens Point Ruby.Net compiler download !! John, has some more in-depth analysis here . If you haven’t tried Ruby you owe to yourself to do so as it just may arguably be the most powerful yet simple language out there. Equally awesome news from my pal John Lam , who has released RubyCLR Drop 4. I plan to play with both of these as soon as we ship this Iteration-)). Day 1 report f rom the RailsConf 2006 Day 1 and Day 2 Report . Another Day 1 Report from Robby on Rails. Also Day 2 Part 1 CLR FxCop 1.35 release announced on FxCop blog . Shawn has a great post on Reducing Startup Time Due to Strong Name Verification WPF/Avalon The WPF blog shows how to Implement a Mac OS X Dock in WPF . Also check-out the Slinky XAML ListBox !!
