If you're looking at a budget priced laptop they're not worth it. A few years ago I was looking at a $600-800 laptop and the savings were too small to even cover my time in installing windows; never mind assembling it. 3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

Hi Vagif, imho the "right strategy" is to work "backwards" from what your users require and want using a "scenario" driven approach. Scan, study, the user feedback you have now (including "praises" as well as "complaints"); ask some of your most frequent "support users" for feedback, and for ideas about what type of documentation they need. Consider and compare the needs of new users (FAQ ? orientation ? basic how-to ? getting started ? source-code examples ?) with needs of those who are competent daily users of your application or system. imho after evaluating users' needs, then make the techncal choices about delivery vehicles and what tools you need to create and manage the documentation required. best, Bill "The greater the social and cultural distances between people, the more magical the light that can spring from their contact."

Having heard that it costs 20k - 30k to get a recruitment bureau that is willing to bring in new developers I say sponsoring the trip is the least they could do. It's far cheaper to do that than to find yet another candidate. WM. What about weapons of mass-construction? "What? Its an Apple MacBook Pro. They are sexy!" - Paul Watson

Marc, I am not trying to oversimplify the challenge. And by the way the author of the book reminded several times: test, test, test! Of course there must be rollback, but since the upgrade strategy is based on data redundancy and does not break compatibility with existing clients, risk of screwing up the production environment due to unsuccessful upgrade is not very high. Actually it is much lower than when you stop the whole system and must be up again with new data within limited time. It's also clear that during transition period some constraints have to be disabled. Nullability, foreign keys etc. They will be reenabled later when the transition period is over and database is in its real "version 2" state.

Yeah I totally agree. A good person at the other end is a precious resource. You probably get the same emails we do "somethings not working and I didn't write down the error message, I really don't have time for this, make it work now." after 14 emails trying to drag the slightest bit of information out of the client by playing 20 questions (to the point where you start to wonder if they are just messing with you because surely no one could be that unhelpful) we start making suggestions only to get "Ok, I tried something completely different from what you suggested on my own because I'm a certified blah blah blah and now I get a completely different error message but I didn't write it down or take a screen shot and I'm really in a hurry and this is taking way too long to fix etc etc"

I don't hardly need to use MSDN for C++, but speaking of MSDN, today for the 1st time ever, a woman from MSDN called me on the phone to ask me some questions about why I go there. I told her I had been with it for over 7 years, and can't really say "why" because I go there so much for so many different reasons.

MBUnit vs NUnit.... The big difference for me was the ability to have data driven test cases. I have an xml file that drives the test . There is an attribute in MBUnit that will serialize an xml node (or collection through iteration) into a c# object. The object is a param to the test case. I would say most (if not all) nunit tests are parameterless. This allows me to cover all the corner cases with a single piece of code, but run different data through it. NCover works with MBUnit as does NUnit. If you have not looked at testdriven.net, you should. It allows you to run quite a few different types of tests interactively from visual studio.net.

I can't help but imagine how choked the internet is going to get when these things become popular. In the perfect world the broadcasters would cease to "broadcast" at all. Local television stations would turn into local news bureaus. Television program producers would sell direct by posting each episode the moment it was done editing on a site you can "tune" download the second it's published for a small fee. It's crazy when you think about it to have thousands or millions of people streaming video over the internet from their homes when the entire television viewing audience could benefit from a complete video on demand system for all programming.

Usually in the OSS world you get the software for free, and pay for support. So I guess it depends on the terms of the support package - if SomeBigCompany release the source to TheirGreatProduct along side the binaries for TheirGreatProduct for Windows XP, would they provide support just for the officially released binary, rather than anyone else trying to rebuild it or modify it for their own needs -- Help me!
