Dutch stop of the RAD Studio in Action LIVE! event: September 7th, Leiden (close to Amsterdam) with extra conference track.

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/08/27

The Dutch stop of the RAD Studio In Action LIVE! tour is on September 7th.

The venue location is via Holiday Inn Leiden Hotels: Haagse Schouwweg 10, 2332 KG  Leiden, The Netherlands.

It is close to the advertised “Amsterdam Netherlands” (about half an hour drive), close to the A44 highway and close enough to public transport. And it is indeed on Saturday September 7, 2013

Are Delphi programmers more happy than other programmers? (via: Sentiment Analysis of Github Commits)

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/06/07

Interesting graph here: Evented Github Adventure – Sentiment Analysis of Github Commits.

It seems that Delphi programmers have a much better happy/sad word rate than other programmers.

git-tfs

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/09/19

Interesting:

git-tfs is a two-way bridge between TFS and git, similar to git-svn.

Need to check out if it is more like the SVNBridge wrapper that wraps SVN around TFS on either the server or the client, or like git-svn which wraps git around SVN only around the client.

Great post on the differences between TFS, SVN, CVS and other source code management systems, ideas on Trunk/Tag/Branch

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/07/19

When switching between different source code management systems for doing version control at clients, it is always a bit of “getting used” to the mantra of both their system, and how it has been implemented.

Few people can really explain this well.

Richard Berg did in his great StackOverflow answer sharing his ideas on how to handle Trunk/Branch/Tag (for people starting with SVN, read this answer by David Schmitt before you mix them up).

I still see truckloads of people, and even teams try to do without version control. Please do use source control. If you don’t know where to get started, read some text on Source Control for beginners, or for instance the free on-line Red Bean books on SVN, Mercurial or CVS.

Also read some other great answers by Richard Berg (many on TFS, but also this very balanced view on usage of nullable in languages and proper use of Invoke-Expression in PowerShell: recommended reading).

tortoisegit – Porting TortoiseSVN to TortoiseGIT – Google Project Hosting

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/10/26

This should be the first line on the TortoiseGITS home page; I always keep forgetting this step at new installations:

Please install msysgit 1.6.1 or above before install tortoisegit http://code.google.com/p/msysgit
