Before rushing into all the cool automated stuff we have to dive into one important part of the flow which is… version control. You must use verion control for all your software! Period!

I'm a webdeveloper, looking for the best experience, working between development and design. Just a creative programmer. When I'm getting tired of programming C#, i'd love to create 3D images in 3D Studio Max, play the guitar, create an app for Android or crush some plastics on a climbing wall or try to stay alive when i´m descending some nice white powdered snowy mountains on my snowboard.
Teamcity and Octopus – part 3
We now have a nice clean Release build of our project using a custom MsBuild target. Using this target is important because Teamcity is responsible for the job not just me working on my laptop! Keep that in mind, Teamcity is in charge! Next step is creating a NuGet package from our build. Again, Teamcity […]
Teamcity and Octopus – part 2
This first post is about preparing our project for Octopus deploy. This example is based upon a standard Asp.Net MVC application. Preparing involves some knowledge of Teamcity and Octopus deploy. Because deployments in Octopus are done using NuGet, we need the possibility to create a NuGet package from our website. First we need some deeper […]
Teamcity and Octopus – part 1
It’s some time now after my last post. Quit busy the last months and years so I decided to create a new post, not about Android but about a new tool I’m currently using on my work at eFocus. The new tool is called Octopus Deploy and I must say I am deeply impressed by […]

And now for real, app development
The previous article was meant to be an intro but was getting too long so it was just a separate a blog post. In this post I will write about my first experience as a Android developer in Wp7 development. App development stages When I develop an app I always start with the rough app […]
Android vs Wp7 development
In march this year I’ve started to develop Android apps, just because I was very curious about app development and of course I needed a good Google Analytics app for my Android phone. Have experience in C# programming, the step to Java wasn’t that hard. Right now I really enjoy Java programming for Android and […]
Even more gradient buttons for Android
Because I receive lots and lots of great response to my post for Android gradients, I thought it might be helpfull to post even more gradients in a different way. This time, all those gradients are created programmatically which gives you total control of the button and the gradient! First we need a grid in […]

I had some serious troubles last weeks. I am using an Asus tablet which should receive an upgrade to Honeycomb 3.2. Unfortunately the upgrade failed but my Asus Transformer was flagged as ‘updated’ on the Asus update system so I could not redo the update. The problem was that after the 3.2 upgrade, my Tablet […]
