I have long waited to test new AUI concept. So it seems, the new release is a good time for it. After building the library, I have compiled the auidemo sample application. read more »

When passing the begin and end to the constructor, the second parameter will not belong to the created interval. read more »
I really like Test Driving Development. In theory. But I have some problems applying it in the real life. I believe that the problems are because of lack of understanding, not because of holes in TDD.
Of course, some parts of the code I write are a good fit for unit-testing. Often there are subsystems used internally in the software, without interoperating with the environment... These are easy to test because of obvious interfaces and because they do not require mocking. But testing first the physical or GUI related code is still a kind of question for me. That's why I have started a little experimental project and I'm going to develop it using pure TDD only. read more »
I'm writing a couple of entries now, they are in drafts and I hope will be completed shortly.
