Notes: Order of posts to complete – 6/3/2012

As I said before this is not my real blog just a place holder for the drafts for my real blog. Subscribers should note that the blog posts are being updated on the fly, so use a feed reader that can handle this (Google Reader will not mark the post differently for updated posts).

I am sure some of you are wondering why I don’t post some of the more complete posts and for those posts I simply would like to post them in a certain order. It’s like writing a story I can’t really post on FluentMigrator before I write about the SDE or ArcObjects (since extending FluentMigrator is all about using ArcObjects to deploy the SDE).

Since at this point in time I have 55 draft posts I decided to add categories to the posts:

  • ????? – haven’t reviewed the post
  • Title Draft – only has a title and lots of TODOs
  • Draft – has some text but the text is rough
  • Beta – almost ready: spelling, ordering, checking the grammar…
  • Post In Wait – waiting for another post before posting

I have also decided to post the exceptions/error solving posts without waiting for background posts (if they are ready). Since they are mostly posts I am not going to edit.

I have decided to write here the order of the Notes’ drafts I am going to work on:

  1. Unit Tests: What to Test?  - Draft: code, go over all the cases, add my Resharper template, TODOs 
  2. Unit Test Code Coverage – Title Draft: even the TODOs are rough…
