Mouseover DOM Inspector, or MODI for short, is a favelet (also known as a bookmarklet) that allows you to view and manipulate the DOM of a web page simply by mousing around the document.

Very nice tool to identify the html object properties.

ISBSG is a ‘best practice’ project repository

The ISBSG Repository probably represents the best performing 25% of industry projects. As such it’s a great way to benchmark your projects against ‘best practice’. When reality checking your estimates, take this into account, especially if your expectations are rated as optimistic. Some projects might also appear to be under-performing when, compared to common practice, they may be considered ‘average’.

NMock is a dynamic mock object library for .NET. Mock objects make it easier to test single components—often single classes—without relying on real implementations of all of the other components. This means we can test just one class, rather than a whole tree of objects, and can pinpoint bugs much more clearly. Mock objects are often used during Test Driven Development.

NMock 2.0 Release Candidate 2 is now available! The original NMock was a .NET port of the Java-based DynaMock, whereas NMock 2.0 is inspired by the newer jMock library. Expectations are defined using a much more “conversational” style, including plenty of syntactic sugar to improve clarity.

A dynamic mock object: * takes on the interface of another object, allowing it to be substituted for a real one for testing purposes.
* allows expectations to be defined, specifying how the class under test is expected to interact with the mock.
* fails the test if any of the expectations are violated.
* can also act as a stub, allowing the test to specify objects to be returned from mocked methods.

Features specific to NMock: * expectations are specified beforehand and verified on the fly as the code under test is being executed, rather than afterwards using assertions. This has the advantage that mocks fail fast, allowing you to easily pinpoint the exact point the test failed, using a stack trace or debugger.
* mock implementations of interfaces are generated on the fly at runtime, which avoids having to add a code generation step to the build.
* error messages clearly show the reason for the failure.
* flexible expectations can be built up using the constraint library.

The best way to see how NMock works is to read the Quickstart (5 minutes) or the Tutorial (15 minutes). Developers who already have experience with mock objects will find everything they need to know on the Cheat Sheet.

Want to see what your website looks like on the iPad? Get a load of iPad Peek, a new web-based emulator that shows you how any site renders on the new Apple device. iPad Peek has a few limitations. There’s no touch scrolling, ads produce pop-ups, and embedded Flash videos and objects will still render inside the emulator even though the real iPad doesn’t do Flash. So, it’s basically a Webkit wrapper set to a fixed width and height. But, it does give you a pretty close approximation of how your site will look on the new shiny IPAD.
