Reducing Code Coupling – Inversion of Control
This is the conclusion to my series on reducing code coupling. This installment follows from the previous ones, building on them by introducing the Inversion of Control pattern.
.NET Projects: Generating Documentation with Sandcastle
This is a walkthrough in automating Sandcastle to generate API documentation during an automated build process.
.NET Projects: Versioning Builds
This article is about setting a version number for a code build, and a mechanism to maintain a versioning system over time. This can be done in NAnt with some custom targets.
.NET Projects: Packaging Your Build
Provides a description of packaging build artifacts in a Zip file using NAnt’s built in functionality. Includes code for a task to do the job.
This is a look at how one coder’s standard NAnt build file for .NET projects has evolved. In this post, a new standard buildfile will be shown, including a number of useful and commonly-used tasks.
The news has been broken: a new beta of Visual Studio 2010 has become available for MSDN subscribers, and will be available for download by the wider public later this week. I am in the latter group, so must wait a while longer! I think I will prepare a virtual machine to install the beta [...]
Reducing Code Coupling – Dependency Injection
Introduction
Previously, I talked a bit about the nature of coupling in code, and the general preference to keep coupling loose where possible. I then showed one way to reduce coupling by using a service locator.
There are multiple techniques to reduce coupling – the service locator is one. In this article, I’ll be illustrating the concept [...]
Reducing Code Coupling – Service Locator
The second part of a series that shows how to reduce code coupling. This part discusses the Service Locator.
Reducing Code Coupling – Introduction
The first part of a series that shows how to reduce code coupling. This part starts it off with a look at the nature of coupling.
I have other goals for this year, but this post is about what I want to do for my interest in programming.

For some reason, I didn’t to a lot of technical reading in the last year. I’m not sure why that happened, but I will try to do better this year. I would like [...]
