Posted by vitaly on Nov 29, 2009 in Design & Graphics  | View Original Article
 


Street Fighter was unleashed 22 years ago by legendary video-game developer CAPCOM, becoming a worldwide phenomenon and the most popular game in its genre. It set trends in the video game industry, producing dozens of unforgettable characters that have entered pop culture.

Over time, characters such as Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Vega and Bison have become increasingly recognizable and well liked — popular enough, in fact, to be featured in cartoon series and even films.

Certain artists and designers work very hard to create inspiring Street Fighter art. Today, we’ve compiled illustrations, tutorials and wallpapers that are sure to take you back to the classic video game. Feel free to share your opinion about what you see. We’d love to hear from you.

CSS Resets

Posted by K. Scott Allen on Nov 29, 2009 in Dotnet  | View Original Article
 

reset buttonEvery web browser has a default style sheet it uses when rendering content, and every web browser uses slightly different defaults. Perhaps a button will use an extra 2 pixels of width in one browser, but 3 fewer pixels in another. These differences are insignificant to many of us, but they worry some designers and keep them awake at night. This is where CSS reset style sheets come into play.

The goal of a CSS reset style sheet is to set the default styling for all HTML elements into a known state. A good CSS reset will effectively “undo” all the default styles any web browser might define. The CSS designer can then built their own style rules and feel relatively confident that a design will look the same across all browsers and environments.

For example, here is what you will be starting with after applying the YUI Reset CSS:

  • Black text on a white page background
  • Margin and padding for all elements set to zero
  • Table borders set to zero
  • All fonts sized 100% of base
  • Font-weight and font-style set to normal
  • and more …

There are a few CSS resets available on the web:

Note that YUI and Blueprint both include a CSS reset as part of a larger CSS framework.

Should I Be Using A CSS Reset?

This is the subject of some debate.

Some people feel a CSS reset creates more work – both for the designer and the web browser. The designer has to start from scratch and will write more CSS style rules to design a page that has been stripped of all aesthetics by a CSS reset. Naturally the browser will also work harder to process all these additional rules and cascades. 

But, if you care deeply a design, and how that design will render around the universe, then you won’t mind any of the extra work. CSS reset can be good.

As Eric Meyers says in his post “Crafting Ourselves”:

Reset styles clearly work for a lot of people, whether as-is or in a modified form. As I say on the reset page, those styles aren’t supposed to be left alone by anyone. They’re a starting point. If a thousand people took them and created a thousand different personalized style sheets, that would be right on the money. But there’s also nothing wrong with taking them and writing your own overrides. If that works for you, then awesome.

For others, reset styles are more of an impediment. That’s only to be expected; we all work in different ways. The key here, and the reason I made the approving comment above, is that you evaluate various tools by thinking about how they relate to the ways you do what you do—and then choose what tools to use, and how, and when. That’s the mark of someone who thinks seriously about their craft and strives to do it better.

Eric’s commentary applies to many of the tradeoffs we face in software development.

Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) Preview 8

Posted by Al on Nov 29, 2009 in Dotnet  | View Original Article
 

FileDownload[1]

I have been using MEF Preview 6 for Silverlight since the moment the came out, I have been really happy at that release, allows me to load XAP files dynamically in order to speed up the starting time of my Silverlight application as well as decompose my applications blocks to very maintainable pieces that will be downloaded on the clients machine on demand. So the love fest between me and MEF started on Preview 6.

MEF Preview 8 was release and I kept myself away from the download as I was still very happy to use Preview 6, fulfill all my needs. So why did I wanted to upgrade? Well, I had a few dlls that didn’t want to get into the package to get downloaded, so I thought that was time to upgrade to Preview 8 to see if there was any difference.

What’s MEF?

First let’s describe MEF for people that haven’t use this framework yet. The Managed Extensibility Framework will provide developers a way to load application extensions.

The structure of MEF is very simple to find out what extension to package.

FileDownload[1]

Diagram from codeplex  MEF

It’s time to write some code.

In preview 6 the way to get a package of assemblies was to create your Package Catalog

PackageCatalog catalog = new PackageCatalog();

and then added into a container

var container = new CompositionContainer(catalog);
container.ComposeParts(this);

So you can just download the package and attached it to your application:

          Package.DownloadPackageAsync(new Uri(sXap, uriKind), (s, p) =>
            {                
                catalog.AddPackage(p);                
                if (LayoutRoot != null)
                {
                    System.Collections.Generic.List<System.Reflection.Assembly> assemblies = p.Assemblies as System.Collections.Generic.List<System.Reflection.Assembly>;
                   
                    System.Reflection.Assembly assembly = assemblies[0];

Now let’s talk about how Preview 8 changes all this:

So instead of PackageCatalog() you need to create an instance of

AssemblyCatalog catalog = new AssemblyCatalog(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

 

Silverlight 4 and MEF

With Silverlight 4  or .NET 4 for that matter, now all this has changed, you won’t need to download a that module to use it on your applications, MEF comes out of the box as well as WCF RIA Services, also known as .NET RIA Services.

Cheers

Al

Review: The Passionate Programmer

Posted by Sean Timm on Nov 29, 2009 in Dotnet  | View Original Article
 

As an Elegant Coder, I suffer the fate of sitting in front of a computer screen for large parts of my day, and I can often be found at home in front of one as well.  This can promote a fairly sedentary lifestyle if one is not careful.  Over the years, I have been both more and less careful in this regard at various times.  This has resulted in my current state – a state we will refer to (for purposes of this conversation) – as “overweight”.  I’ve participated in a number of weight loss programs over the years until I finally wised up and realized that every successful program had at its heart two common factors – caloric restriction and exercise.  I am now actively engaged in working both of those factors until I achieve a state we will call “fit”.  However, becoming fit is not an immediate process.  It is a daily process requiring both attention and discipline.  I’m fond of saying, “It took me 15 years to achieve this weight.  Do you expect it to be gone in 30 days?”

The Passionate Programmer: Creating a Remarkable Career in Software Development by Chad Fowler is a book focused on helping you become fit as a developer – leading you along the path of life decisions that make the difference between a job and a remarkable career.  As Chad says, “You don’t win a race by trying not to lose.  And you don’t win at life by trying not to suck.”  You have to be tactical, strategic, and deliberate if you want to avoid your career being “one big series of undirected coincidences.”

I won’t belabor all of the points you can find in this book, but I’d like to call out some things that stood out to me.

  • Be the worst
    • If you’re the best, nothing is challenging and pushing you to grow/perform.  Seek associations with people that are better/faster/smarter than you.
    • You’re not as bad as you assume.  Give yourself the chance to discover it.
  • Practice at your limits
    • Chad’s background as a musician provided opportunity to compare skill improvement to music practice.  While performances are expected to be as perfect as possible, practice is raw, gritty, and doesn’t always sound good.
    • If all you’re ever doing is sitting down churning out elegant code, you’re not pushing at the edges (where all the improvement comes from).
  • Study the work of masters
    • In the arts (and many other disciplines), much time is given to learning from the work of those that have gone before.  In the past, this was more difficult in software development due to its proprietary nature, but the sheer volume and quality of open source projects makes this much more accessible now.
    • Existing code reflects on your own capabilities for growth and new avenues of thought.
  • Focus on the present
    • If your head is always in the clouds of tomorrow, you’ll miss the daily victories.

    One topic Chad alluded to but didn’t build much on was approaching your career development in an Agile fashion.  I thought this was a great concept, and from some comments on his blog, it looks like he’d like to build on this in the future.  My takeaway was that I’d better start my sprint planning for my career.

There were many other points and topics covered including interaction with peers, management, and customers.  Chad includes a number of “Act on It” exercises which will challenge you to grow in the areas he covers.  Overall, it was a great read with a message I needed to hear, and I’d highly recommend it.

The Character of Cloud Computing

Posted by Latest News from Cloud Computing Journal on Nov 29, 2009 in CLoud Computing, General, Technology News  | View Original Article
 Here's an important reminder for cloud service providers: character counts. Ethics, Values, and Trust are table stakes – for anyone who wants to succeed in business long term – but especially for cloud service providers. As a cloud customer, I am not simply buying/renting your hardware and software. I am grafting my company onto yours. We are intermingling our corporate DNA. I am loading my databases on your disk drives. I am modifying my internal processes to map to your services.
