With a slurry of new programming best practices thrown at each day (TDD, BDD, DDD, DI, SOA etc etc) and add to that the new API's/cool must use features being churned so quickly by Microsoft I find myself torn apart between advancing towards the new features (like learning LINQ or the new ASP.net MVC framework), or going back to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/6820.aspx">basics</a> and learning what is good old Object oriented software development meant to be all about.<br />With this blog I look to connect with like minded people, and hopefully document/vent in some manner my struggle/frustration with my current level of programming skills, journey/path to gain some decent Object oriented skills, and hopefully in the journey build a reference point for other fellow developers in my shoes to take a start. Get your self out of the 9-5 grind of developing and checking in features, from one project to another, and think...think how can you be a better software developer.<br />Amen!<br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/971867383011616102-6257537780291458166?l=afifmohammed.blogspot.com'/></div>Afifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07416793047193928823noreply@blogger.com0
