• 50 Years of BASIC
• Why is it called "logging in"?
• I've been working with CKEditor recently, whereas most of my experience is with TinyMCE. I asked a question on Stack Overflow about manipulating the HTML in a CKEditor instance.
• Resizing images in your ASP.NET project? Check out ImageResizer. It's API and functionality had me crying tears of joy compared to the cludgy mess of System.Drawing and System.IO stuff I was using.
• Equality in JavaScript sure is cuh-razy!

This is a special edition of Weekly Concerns, in that I'm attempting to cover the recent dust up over TDD that was triggered by DHH and responded to by several notable developer pundits. Note that I respect all of the developers in this conversation and I believe they are all making important points, but the way they communicate can be somewhat... abrasive... so make sure your jimmies are secure before you start reading.

• April 22: David Heinemeir Hansson's opening keynote at railsconf which lays the groundwork for...
• April 23: TDD is dead. Long live testing. by David Heinemeir Hansson.
• April 25: Monogamous TDD by Uncle Bob Martin.
• April 29: RIP TDD by Kent Beck
• April 29: Test-induced design damage by David Heinemeir Hansson.
• April 30: TDD, Straw Men, and Rhetoric by Gary Bernhardt. First DAS blog post in years.
• April 30: When TDD doesn't work by Uncle Bob Martin.
• April 30: Slow database test fallacy by David Heinemeir Hansson.
• May 1: Test Induced Design Damage? by Uncle Bob Martin.
• May 1: The TDD Divide: Everyone is Right by Cory House.
• May 2: Professionalism and TDD by Uncle Bob Martin.
• May 3: A remix of Professionalism and TDD by Gregory Brown.
• May 9: Is TDD dead? Part 1 panel discussion on Google Hangouts with David Heinemeir Hansson, Kent Beck, and Martin Fowler.

Lots of others have weighed in, of course, in blog posts and on Twitter. This type of discussion has been going on since Kent Beck wrote his TDD book; I believe it will continue long into the future. So I guess it's probably a good time to reread Jim Holmes book "Best Practices in Software Engineering and Testing", which is no longer available, but I will reprint in its entirety here (completely from memory, so forgive me if the phrasing isn't quite right):

"Use your brain."

• 10 Mistakes that C# Programmers Make, from Toptal.
• The user is drunk - how to think about UIs by picturing a drunk user...
• ...which reminds me of the $5 Guerrilla User Test - buy someone a drink at a bar and observe them try to complete tasks...
• ...which reminds me of Steve Krug's excellent book, Don't Make Me Think, which is now in its 3rd edition.
• Video of Brian Cavalier presenting "AOP-ing your JavaScript" at SpringOne2GX 2013.

• Commit to Github or other public git repos without sharing your private information (like API keys and passwords and such)
• ReSharper and Roslyn would seem to go together like a lime and a coconut, but it seems that's not in JetBrains's immediate plans.
• However, DevExpress claims to be all-in with CodeRush and Roslyn. I don't know if these points of differentiation makes any difference right now, but could be interesting in, say, 6 months to a year from now.
• I was able to see Gary Bernhardt's session "The Birth & Death of JavaScript" at CodeMash this year, which is now available as a video on Destroy All Software. It might seem like a satire at first, but it's actually a really deep, layered, and meaningful talk that should be of interest to everyone, not just JavaScript or web developers.
