Željko Filipin's Blog on Software and Testing

I did not try it yet, but it sounds interesting.

No. The Steel IDE has been developed exclusively for Visual Studio 2005, standard edition or above.

- Will Steel have debugging and IntelliSense for Ruby?

There will be two versions of Steel – a standard edition and a professional edition incorporating more advanced features. The standard edition of Ruby In Steel will always be free.

I was reading Jonathan Kohl’s blog. He wrote about Hiding Behind Languages, Frameworks and Processes. There was link to Waterfall 2006. He said it was a joke.

Joke!?

I remember I have read about Waterfall 2006 at testingReflections.com. I do not remember that it was a joke. I just remember that somebody said he would go there (looks like it was Roland Stens in Waterfall2006: I’ll be there!). I remember I have read that blog and thought: “Waterfall. Conference. 2006. Strange.” However, I did not get the joke.

I went to waterfall2006.com. Conference date was April 1, 2006. Slowly, slowly, I got it. Joke!

Then I read (some of) Waterfall 2006 articles. Go there. Read the articles. Smile.
