Timetric Exception Handling Best Practices in .NET Contents Introduction "My software never fails". Contrary to common belief, creating reliable, robust software is not something near to impossible. In other words, software that is stable. Having a bug in your software is forgivable, and even expected. To understand better what I'm saying, I've seen countless business software that, in an out of disk space error in the DBMS, reports something like this: "Could not update customer details. While this message may be an adequate of reporting an unknown resource failure to a business user, all too often this is the whole debugging information that is available to debug the error cause. Plan for the worst A few basic design concepts will make your program much more robust, and will improve the user experience in the presence of an unexpected error. Check it early Strong type checking and validation are powerful tools to prevent unexpected exceptions and to document and test code. Don't trust external data External data is not reliable.

boto: A Python interface to Amazon Web Services — boto v2.0 (rHEAD) The real reason why Steve Jobs hates Flash There has been some ... interesting news from the tech sector this week. Firstly, the Apple vs. Adobe vendetta gets even nastier, with a public letter from Steve Jobs explaining why Adobe's Flash multimedia format will not ever be allowed into the garden of pure ideology that is the iPhone/iPad fork of OSX. Secondly, Hewlett-Packard are buying Palm, apparently for Palm's WebOS — with rumours of plans to deploy a range of WebOS tablets to rival the iPad — at the same time, they're killing their forthcoming Windows 7 slate, just as Microsoft are killing the Courier tablet project. Finally, gizmodo (not, perhaps, an unbiased source in this regard given current events) have a fun essay discussing Apple's Worldwide Loyalty Team, the internal unit tasked with hunting down and stopping leaks. I've got a theory, and it's this: Steve Jobs believes he's gambling Apple's future — the future of a corporation with a market cap well over US $200Bn — on an all-or-nothing push into a new market.
