Reusability is one of the most underrated aspects of software development. The focus on meeting functional requirements in a product as quickly as possible often overshadows the reusability and maintainability part. Code duplication, poor adherence to design are often symptoms of such development which increase costs in the long term in favour of short term [...]

For the last few months, I am almost exclusively using Ubuntu as my primary operating system. Due to this my .NET development suffered quite a bit and was limited just to work. To find a way around I installed Mono and played around with it. Though a lot of people believe that .NET is completely [...] Recently someone asked me to write a TicTacToe game. So I worked out a rough logic for it. Heres the code. The idea is that the computer first scans through the tic-tac-toe board for any winning positions available. If none are available, then it looks for the manual user’s winning positions. If its able to [...] In continuation to my earlier post about multithreading in .NET, I am writing about the ReaderWriterLock class which is one more method of thread synchronization. The ReaderWriterLock is based on the fact that the Monitor locking (lock keyword in C#) doesnt really make any distinction whether the thread accessing the variable [...] I got an interesting problem by email recently where someone had asked me to solve the given below problem:- A squad of robotic rovers are to be landed by NASA on a plateau on Mars.This plateau, which is curiously rectangular, must be navigated by therovers so that their on-board cameras can get a complete view [...] Events and Delegates are quite tied together in .NET, but there are differences in terms of usage. Events are implemented through delegates, but they are not quite interchangeable. The event keyword is an access modifier on the delegate which restricts its usage outside the class which it belongs to. First the [...] In the previous post we saw how anonymous methods can help reduce verbose delegate code. With C# 3.0, there was a new language feature introduced which further reduces the delegate code – Lambda expressions. Lambda expressions use automatic type inference, which relieves you of explicitly declaring the type. Here is a simple example of [...] Delegates are not just function pointers with a fancy name, they are a huge leap over C++’s function pointers. Unlike unmanaged languages, .NET enforces type safety for its delegates. Good, because pointers are too scary to be tolerated in .NET’s perfect world, where there are no memory leaks and all a developer [...] |
