IMHO: Valid answers: those that are sent to the list, *not* to the private email....
Mark agrees with me! Ask him! Right mark? OK,ok...I was so close... :))) Julio Cesar -----Mensagem original----- De: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviada em: sexta-feira, 4 de julho de 2003 14:33 Para: Struts Users Mailing List Assunto: Re: [FRIDAY] YA Ted's Trivia Contest Well, I'm back from the statutory independence day parade and found several likely answers waiting for me, including the likes of Cobb, Fowler, and Gosling. But the answer I was looking for was Beck (as in Kent Beck), as a paraphrase from his recent book, Test Driven Development by Example: "Dependency is the key problem in software development at all scales ... eliminating duplication in programs eliminates dependency." Since he describes this a key step in the refactoring process that is essential to Test Driven Development, I like to call it "Beck's Golden Rule". Although there were others, the first lucky emailer was Maciej Czajkowski. (So Marciej, please send me your mailing address.) Thanks for playing everyone! Meanwhile, if anyone has some likely quotes that they think would make for a good contest, please send them to me at your leisure <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. If I use your quote, I'll send you a signed copy too. (The tough part is coming up with something that's not too easy to google.) -Ted. -- Ted Husted, Struts in Action <http://husted.com/struts/book.html> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
