Last night, while hacking on the Aggressive project, I where in the need of a container.

WCF Test Client – Extended!

So, I’m currently writing some infrastructure/backend code for Aggressive – a new lightweight time management I’m putting up on CodePlex. The idea is to us it to practice something that I’m not really good at; TDD – and also try to apply DDD from “top to bottom”. I’ve taken an interest in internal DSLs and [...]

My Product / Idea Backlog

1 October, 2008 (20:17) | CodePlex, IoC, Pet+Projects, Silverlight, WCF | By: larsw
