TDD with Roy Osherove

August 13th, 2011

Just finished a three day course in TDD with test guru Roy Osherove i Oslo. Very interesting learning, and a subject I knew nothing about beforehand. I think I will take up Roys advice and practice the StringCalculator kata for 30 minutes every day, at least for a while and see how it evolves on me. I quote Roy: “If you don’t have time, make time. This is how you work”. I think it’s a great idea.

Happy testing!

BraveDog submitted

December 14th, 2010

Yesterday BraveDog was submitted to Apple. BraveDog attempts to help dog owners having dogs with sound phobia. By playing sounds your dog normally would associate with fear at a low level, it is possible to alter your dogs behaviour over time. As BraveDog tends to be a season based app, we can only hope Apple will approve and release it before New Year’s Eve.

BraveDog uses the following sounds from thefreesoundproject

iAwake live

March 3rd, 2009

Yesterday I received the long awaited email from Apple – that iAwake was “Ready for Sale” on the App Store. You can find it by searching for iAwake in iTunes or via this url: http://tinyurl.com/iawake

I cannot get much statistics yet so I’m still curious on how it will sell, but hopefully customers will like it :)
