New Years Programming Resolutions

December 31st, 2007 by jason Leave a reply »

After my last post about regular expressions, I received my order from Amazon. I have spent the weekend reading up on regular expressions and trying out the example in eGrep on my Mac and in Cygwin on my PC, and in C#. I have made a resolution to become proficient in regex this new year and am already making great progress.

The next resolution is to become a better Agile developer. I am a “card carrying” agile developer, but lately I have gotten in the habit of waiting a week or longer to check in code. I have been working on a lot of projects alone lately, and I need to quit letting that be a crutch. I resolve to start working on discreet functionality and checking it in as soon as it is completed and tested. Along these lines, I have gotten slack on my unit testing. No more, I tell you!

On top of all of this, I want to get some more Silverlight and ASP.Net time in this year. Silverlight is going to explode, and I want to be all over it.

The last point is that I want to keep blogging. To me, this blog keeps me honest in my programming goals.

Happy New Year!
