Inversion of Control is based on the idea of flow control. When you start programming, you learn to write code in classes and methods that control the flow of the program. Your code calls methods that do something and answer back to your code. In Inversion of Control, your central classes wait for the phone call that tells them things they need to know to perform their own activities.

Wujec talks about 3 parts of the brain and how we get meaning out of imagery, motion, etc. He talked about how the brain visually interrogates what it sees, develops a series of questions and then develops a mental model.

This is probably the most thought provoking video I've seen in quite a while. Shirky talks about how media is increasingly a result of amatuer or citizen reporters. It's no longer controlled by professionals & government. It talks about China's Great Firewall and how they now have to shut down services to control the amatuer producers.

Since "Art of Unit Testing" is out and everyone is talking about it, I've decided to catch up on some reading about Unit Testing in general before I buy the book.

After a year of rewriting labs for the LOD, my brain is mush except for debugging MOC labs. Nows as good a time as ever to compile of list of must reads on Unit Testing. So without further ado, here's the list so far:

Capturing contact information is one of the most important activities companies that sell high end services and products can do. Selling high-end expensive services or products are not items people click a few buttons to purchase. They require conversation and persuasion from the service provider/seller. People don't click a button to purchase a house or an advertising campaign from an advertising company.

There are times when you may find yourself writing code to move data from a type you defined to another type either predefined or user defined. Of course we are all aware of polymorphism between derived types. This isn't always possible or practical depending on your intentions. It is particularly hard when you're converting between a primiritive type and a user defined type. The answer to this dilemma is to define your own cast.
