Welcome to this week’s Friday with Filip!
Last week I shared the first part in a very interesting session that I had the pleasure to do with Patrick over at NDepend. Having readable code and manageable solutions is very important but in some cases small changes that might see, trivial to you, might not be as trivial to someone else.
If you had to keep track of all dependencies in your head you are not going to have anything else on your mind; which is a pretty bad way to distribute your brain! Instead of keeping it all in your head, you can use a tool like NDepend to find out a lot of interesting things about your projects. If you’ve seen the previous posts and videos that I have done on NDepend, you know what kind of power this tool delivers.
The webinars that I have had the pleasure to do with Patrick has been very educating and I hope you like them as well, I would love to get some feedback!
So this week we are going to dig deeper with NDepend and spot dependencies, dependency cycles and spaghetti code! As we look on mscorlib, you can see that in some cases bi-directional dependencies are by design, but in other cases it might have been accidental. Sit back and enjoy the two parts below!
Part 2
Keeping our code base clean and understandable is important and as you might have seen now, there are tools that can help us along the way.
What are your tips on the subject?

Welcome to this week’s Friday with Filip!
Two weeks ago we looked at Dealing with Code Complexity using NDepend. This was the first episode in the webinar series on Code Quality.
This week I am happy to share that Patrick Smacchia and I have recorded the second episode! This week it’s about dependencies, dependency cycles and spaghetti code. I really enjoyed doing these sessions with Patrick and I really hope you will enjoy it just as much. Let me know what you think of it!

Welcome to this week’s Friday with Filip!
Yet another interesting week has passed with lots of things to discuss. Before we dig into this week’s subject, I just want to take a brief moment to share something interesting that I found (it was recommended by someone I know from IRC). There’s a hosting company called EDIS based in Austria that is now providing a very neat service; Raspberry Pi Colocation! As soon as I saw this I shared it with HackerNews and got a response from EDIS on twitter:
It’s worth just thinking about this for a second, let’s say that 1000 RPi’s could host some websites, instead of 1000 1U rack servers; imagine the power that would be saved (and the space).
Now to this week’s subject!
Last week we discussed how we could join new projects and do that efficiently and I got some great tips & tricks from a lot of you (in different channels). This week we are going to follow in those footsteps and see how we can actually find complex code in our applications. While finding complex code is important for all different programming environments; we’re going to look at this by using C#, Visual Studio 2012 and NDepend.
It’s a little bit different this week..
I recently recorded the first episode of a webinar series with Patrick Smacchia, the founder of NDepend and who better to talk about Code Quality and Code Complexity than with him? So this week, I’m happy to announce that you can watch the first video in this webinar series!
It’s a 30 minute webinar where Patrick and I talk about Code Quality, Code Complexity (CyclomaticComplexity) and other things around this subject.
After watching the video, please tell me and Patrick what you thought about the video and tell me what your tips are to find complexity in your code or projects!
