I don't want to be critical of how people write and debug code, different techniques and processes suite different people.... but IMHO 30 seconds is brilliant! You *can* actually hot (re-)deploy parts of your application and connect remote debuggers to the running system and examine/modify it as you go. I'm in 7th heaven! (had to modify some old C code recently, hated it) <soapbox-on> Hopefully I can fix more than one bug at a time and get a great turnaround. My early days in computing used punched cards and batch processing and the turn around was 1/2 day. You learned to be quite efficient in how many things you could test/fix for each run. There were student assignments at UNI that decreased your mark if you used more than N (a small number) runs to get your application running. This was a good thing, really focused the mind :-) This has been said before and no doubt will again but I think that modern software development tools tend to produce a lax attitude to development and testing if you are not careful. <soapbox-off> Now I'll get back into the box :-) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
