Focused learning, ASP.NET

I have decided that it is time to really broaden my knowledge on a specific topic. With all the things I have going on beside learning new, coding related stuff, stuff (full time work, family with two kids, and marathon training) I need to set up a study plan, goals and set off time for focused learning.

The topic I have in mind is Web-based applications. I am thinking ASP.NET, Typescript, and Entity Framework. The application can be my good old friend "The Record Collector".

Here's a quick plan, may have to be revised.

Weeks
  1. Reading material. Collect links, books, etc on the topic.
  2. Tooling. Ensure all required tools and resources for developing and hosting a database backed ASP.NET web application are available.
  3. Sample site. Follow guide/tutorial to set up a sample site.
  4. Domain Model. Design the core domain model for the Record Collector application.
  5. Core implementation. Implement core functionality. Focus should not be on UI and persistence.
  6. Finish up core implementation, start designing UI.
  7. Add persistence support. Improve UI.
  8. (Optional) Add multi-user support.
This is about two months of learning (on hours outside regular work). Hopefully it is enough to get a quite decent understanding of what it is like to build a web application using ASP.NET.

Training starts on Monday. Will try to keep the blog updated on the progress.

Codility tasks - Part I

I was recently faced with two codility tasks when applying for a job as an Embedded Software Engineer. For those of you who arn't familiar with Codility you can check out their website here:  www.codility.com Task one - Dominator The first task was called Dominator. The goal was to, given a std::vector of integers, find an integer that occurs in more than half of the positions in the vector. If no dominator was found -1 should be returned. My approach was to loop through the vector from the first to the last element, using a std::map to count the number of occurences of each integer. If the count ever reached above half the size of the vector I stopped and returned that integer and if I reached the end without finding a dominator I returned -1. So was that a good approach? Well, the reviewer at the company rated the solution as 'pretty ok'. His preferred solution was store the first integer in the array and set a counter to 1. Then loop through the remaining i

C# Enum as bit field

Bit field enum Whenever you wish to express combinations of properties of an object, bit fields are a good way to accomplish this. As a simple example, consider a file in the file system. It can be Readable , Writable , Hidden or a combination these. The different attributes can be defined as an enum : [Flags] public enum FileAttribute {   None      = 0b0000;   Readable  = 0b0001;   Writeable = 0b0010;   Hidden    = 0b0100; } To indicate that this enum is expected to be used as a bit field I have defined it with the FlagsAttribute . It is important to understand that the FlagsAttribute does nothing more than making some changes to how the ToString method of the enum works, making it possible to print out all flags. It does not introduce any validation or special treatment of the enum in any other way. I have defined the values of the different fields of the enum using binary representation, this should make it even more clear that this is a bit field and which bi
