It’s time for another Video Monday! Today I have a very good Keynote by Robert C. Martin at OOP 2015.

It’s time for another Video Monday. Today’s video is a bit of a throwback to an earlier time. It’s a video called “The UNIX Operating System” from the AT&T Archives.
Good news everyone! Visual Studio 2015 has been released!
Visual Studio includes many new features and updates, such as tools for Universal Windows app development, cross-platform mobile development for iOS, Android, and Windows, including Xamarin, Apache Cordova, Unity, and more.

Below is a list of the majority of the tools that I find myself regularly turning to to help me do my work.
Here is a very good video about code refactoring by Martin Fowler @ OOP2014
Refactoring is a difficult activity and something that not enough companies dedicate time and resources to performing.
This is an amazing funny video about programming languages.
This was a keynote by Guy Steele at The ACM SIGPLAN Conference OOPSLA'98.
For those confused by the acronyms:
Here is some sample code that can be used in a c# application to make sure that only one instance of the program can run at a time. In order to do this you will use a Mutex (Mutual Exclusion) which is a type of system wide lock.
Pragmatic Thinking and Learning by Andy Hunt

The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master by Andrew Hunt, David Thomas
This is one of my new top developer books. Far be it for me to tell you want to read or not read but I feel this is a must read requirment for any developer.
