Is there a way to modify JavaScript code while debugging? Visual Studio has "Edit and Continue", and similar hot swapping of code can be done in Java and other languages. Can this be done with JavaScript, and if so, how? Chrome, Safari, and some other WebKit-based browsers contain a feature in the Web Inspector known as Live Edit. If you go to the Scripts panel and are stopped on a breakpoint (or maybe even if not stopped on a breakpoint — I'm not sure), you can double click on a line and start editing that line. The changes you make will take effect on the script. With Chrome Developer tools,

I believe that Agile is nothing but another implementation of Spiral Model. I am a big supporter of Spiral (The spiral model is a software development process combining elements of both design and prototyping-in-stages, in an effort to combine advantages of top-down and bottom-up concepts) since its beginnings and have seen that lot of projects implement Spiral without knowing that they are operating in a Spiral world. Since the day Agile started gaining popularity the concept of spiral started getting overlooked a little bit. I am sure that for complex projects spiral is still the best

Question What is the right way to structure multivariate data with categorical labels accumulated over repeated trials for exploratory analysis in R? I don't want to slip back to MATLAB. Explanation I like R's analysis functions and syntax (and stunning plots) much better than MATLAB's, and have been working hard to refactor my stuff over. However, I keep getting hung up on the way data is organized in my work. MATLAB It's typical for me to work with multivariate time series repeated over many trials, which are stored in a big matrix rank-3 tensor multidimensional array of

What are the difference between Agile and iterative and incremental development? Is Agile considered as iterative and incremental? Some info shown the Agile is the latest of iterative and incremental. I need a clear clarification on this. Iterative - you don't finish a feature in one go. You are in a code >> get feedback >> code >> ... cycle. You keep iterating till done. Incremental - you build as much as you need right now. You don't over-engineer or add flexibility unless the need is proven. When the need arises, you build on top of whatever already exists. (Note: differs from iterative in

This question already has an answer here: What is the difference between Scrum and Agile Development? [closed] 7 answers Mostly people say Scrum and Agile interchangeably but what is the difference between Scrum Practice as compared to Agile Practice ? Agile is a general philosophy regarding software production, Scrum is an implementation of that philosophy pertaining specifically to project management. Scrum is a type of Agile method just like an apple is a type of fruit. Scrum is not the only Agile method though. The popular ones are: Scrum eXtreme Programming (XP) Kanban I'm sure there are

We are deploying sharepoint MOSS 2007 at our work. I'm trying to come up with a sharepoint development and deployment methodology. We have Dev/QA/Prod environments and I need a way, preferably automated to deploy changes from Dev to QA and from there to prod. We are creating site collections web parts etc. Some of it is done directly within sharepoint, some through Sharepoint designer or visual studio. I'm looking for a way to extract this and deploy it to other enviornments. I tried stsadm backup/restore import/export etc but they all move the data along with it as well. I just need the

I have seen numerous examples of lazy loading - what's your choice? Given a model class for example: public class Person { private IList<Child> _children; public IList<Child> Children { get { if (_children == null) LoadChildren(); return _children; } } } The Person class should not know anything about how it's children are loaded .... or should it? Surely it should control when properties are populated, or not? Would you have a repository that couples a Person together with its children collection or would you use a different approach, such as using a lazyload class - even then, I don't want a

My question is simple: what to write into a log. Are there any conventions? What do I have to put in? Since my app has to be released, I'd like to have friendly logs, which could be read by most people without asking what it is. I already have some ideas, like a timestamp, a unique identifier for each function/method, etc.. I'd like to have several log levels, like tracing/debugging, informations, errors/warnings. Do you use some pre-formatted log resources? Thank you Here are some suggestions for content: timestamp message log message type (such as error, warning, trace, debug) thread id ( so

I have to find a memory leak in a Java application. I have some experience with this but would like advice on a methodology/strategy for this. Any reference and advice is welcome. About our situation: Heap dumps are larger than 1 GB We have heap dumps from 5 occasions. We don't have any test case to provoke this. It only happens in the (massive) system test environment after at least a weeks usage. The system is built on a internally developed legacy framework with so many design flaws that they are impossible to count them all. Nobody understands the framework in depth. It has been transfered
