Redirect!
Hi all,
I have decided to move my nerdy codeblogging away from Livejournal.

A theory about testable web UI V: Clicky!
Last time, I started diving into using a JSON service to pull statistics into an HTML widget. I stopped right after that point because I thought, at the time, that it was worth spending a moment to think about what the target design should be ( Read more... ) -
A theory about testable web UI IV: YUI Test (plus a bit of mocking)
So, last time, I was trying to write a test around requesting some JSON data from a service, and return it. Unfortunately, JsUnit is not up to the task of handling asynchronous logic at all, so I decided to ditch it in search of greener pastures.
Having spent some time working with YUI in the past, I settled on trying YUI Test out ( Read more... ) -
A theory about testable web UI II: JSUnit
Last time, I talked about the hypothetical allure of small, fast, reliable, parallelizable unit tests, and embarking on something of a research project to get a feel for what it's like to test-drive an HTML interface ( Read more... ) -
A theory about testable web UI: Part I
One of the things that I spend an awful lot of time thinking about at IMVU is testability. I am always interested in finding ways to write tests that are faster, simpler, and more reliable. Once your tests reach a certain size, the return on investment you get by improving the performance of your tests increases linearly, until it's just too ( Read more... ) -
Random thoughts about adopting TDD
There are plenty of folk who have realized that test-driven development is an amazing way to deliver better code faster. One of the claims I hear from a lot of places is that you should strive to unit test everything. Unit tests are fast and small and super reliable, and we all want that, right ( Read more... ) -
Using C++ macros to inline annoying, repititious crap
One of the neat things the IMVU client has is balls-awesome crash handling. We do a number of things to ensure that, any time our client crashes for any reason, that we find out as much as we can about them. This serves a bunch of purposes: we use the raw number of crashes to determine whether or not we have broken something, and we use all the ( Read more... ) -
Ghetto closures in win32 with C++ III: Templates and traits and interfaces, oh my!
Hey kids! It's that time again ( Read more... ) -
Ghetto closures in win32 with C++ II: __thiscall
So, after some poking around, I have discovered that some guy has figured this out already. Rad! I'm going to go over it quickly anyway so that I can build on it for tomorrow.
First, the setup/demo part changes a bit:
struct I ( Read more... )
