We have discussed in our previous post the decorator pattern’s role, and giving a very detailed illustration about it. Also, we have discussed its design varieties and clarified when to use each design and why.
Today, we will complete our discussion about decorator pattern. We will talk deeply about different examples from the real world cases to give you more deep understanding of this pattern. Also, we will discuss when to use this pattern in real world situations.

Hello! Back again, it has been a while from our last review on this great book, Software Estimation.
We have already reviewed the first part of the book which discusses the critical concepts about software estimation.
Now, we are moving on to another stage. This book now turns to a discussion of detailed estimation techniques that can be applied to specific estimation problems.
This chapter is just an introduction to lay out the ground for the upcoming chapters which will discuss specific techniques.

The VS 2010 debugger has a some great new capabilities like Intellitrace (historical debugging), the new parallel/multithreaded debugging capabilities, and dump debuging support.
For now we will demonstrate some new tiny usability improvements in VS debugger.

Old versions of VS like 2008 for example was really painful when trying to navigate from an interface method for example to its implementation. Now, as we have seen a lot of improvements in navigability in VS 2010, we have been introduced with a very cool new window called: “Call Hierarchy”.

Continuing talking about searching and navigation improvements in VS as we did before. Another improved and a very good feature is the “Navigate To” dialog box in order to navigate through code in our solution.

One of the amazing features I have seen in the new VS 2010 IDE is box selection. All you have to do is to click on ALT key + left mouse button and then drag. What will you see?
