Specification Testing in .NET using Ruby

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 07:29:31 GMT

The purpose of this post is to run through a process which will ultimately allow you to write Ruby based specifications for your .NET code. Why would you want to do this? The intended purpose for this practice is to gain the most benefit when doing BDD. Trying to do BDD in C# results in a lot of syntactical noise in the code which distracts from the goal of having clear, readable specifcations of how the intended function should behave. The advantage of using Ruby is that the scripted nature of the language allows physical (as well as logical) separation of speficiations from code, opening up the realm of possibility that specifications are written by non-technical folk. Furthermore, the Ruby syntax lends itself to building DSLs perfect for the purpose of allowing clean, almost human-readable code.

Should Microsoft work less on C# 3.0 and Focus more on IronRuby and ID

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 10:50:33 GMT

In my opinion "Yes". Microsoft should stop working more on C# 3.1 or 4.0 currently. The progress on DLR and IronRuby and IronPython is dead slow. The announcement of DLR was made at MIX 2007 in March 2007. The next MIX 2008 is round the corner starting from 5th March 2008. Even after one year the current stage of IronRuby is alpha stage only. No news on the IDE and no special section on forums to discuss DLR or Dynamic languages.
