software solutions / project leadership / agile coaching and training
SERVICES
SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS
I have over 15 years of software development experience on several different platforms (mostly Ruby and .NET).
I recognize that software is expensive,
so I'm always trying to find ways to speed up the software development process, but at the same time
remembering that high quality is essential to building software that stands the test of time.
PROJECT LEADERSHIP
I have experience leading and architecting large Agile software
projects and coordinating all aspects
of a project's lifecycle. Whether you're looking for technical expertise or someone
to lead all aspects of an Agile project, I have proven experience from multiple projects
in different environments that can help make your project a success.
PROCESS COACHING
Every team and every situation is different, and I believe that processes and tools should be applied with common sense. I've spent the last 10+ years working on projects using Agile and Lean concepts in many different environments, both in leadership roles and as a practitioner doing the work. I can help you develop a process that works best in your organization, not just apply a prescriptive process.
TEST DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
TDD Boot Camp is a hands-on, three day, comprehensive training course that will teach you all of the
skills, tools, frameworks that you will need to use test-driven development to develop real world .NET applications.
If you're not looking for something that intensive, check out the the half-day version.

One gotcha that I ran into recently was cancelling an AddNew(), and a blank row was still in the BindingList. The workaround to this is calling the CancelNew method from ICancelAddNew, which the BindingList implements.

Getting the most out of .NET data binding…
You’ve been kicked (a good thing) – Trackback from DotNetKicks.com…

Nice. Definitely saved. Couple questions/points:
Your person object isn’t thread safe; you should always assign your event to a temp variable, then check that variable to see if its null prior to invoking the event.
Why would you want to explicitly implement IDataErrorInfo? Is it in case your Person object already has an indexer that isn’t listed in the code at the top?
