Lying in the weeds	2005-05-15
Posting has slowed down the last week - I am working pretty hard on a few things at the moment - but I should be back next week.
Class Diagrams... free with every Code Query	2005-05-08
I have tweaked the Class Diagram generation functionality I posted last weekend to automatically generate a Class Diagram for all classes matched by a particular query, regardless of the query type. My first implementation was a special query type that selected results into a class diagram, but this jarred with the rest of the architecture. In the example, a concern called "Data Access" contains four classes and two methods. After the query is evaluated, the classes are used to create a class diagram, which is added to the end of the list of matches.
Some audio, thoughts on IQ and weekend hacking	2005-05-07
Went jogging this morning and listened to the Engadget Bill Gates interview, and then Dan Gillmor at SXSW Interactive Festival. Good stuff. Currently listening to Electric Stew. Doc Searls is part of an interesting conversation running on IQ and intelligence. Great feedback: "I was so impressed by the interview. He seemed real smart, and he knew an awful lot of stuff. But then when we got the IQ test back we found out he was really dumb." I've been very preoccupied this week, and haven't got anything done on my Concern Maps project. I've got a couple of things to work on this weekend: "Feeling lucky" queries, which jump straight to a result rather than show a tree-view when a selector matches one item only. Assembly-diagram generation, an addin to automatically generate a concern map showing all assemblies in a project, with the ability to drill-down to related classes. Patching up some unit tests

This is interesting. I'm going to read the Ts and Cs carefully...
Concern Map demo, with query-based Class Diagrams	2005-05-01
As promised yesterday, I've put together a screen-capture movie with commentary (AKA screencast) of my Concern Map tool. If you've seen it all before, skip to the eight minute 40 second mark and check out the auto-generation of Class Diagrams based on query results. Download the screencast (.wmv, 4mb).
