Some are web developers, some are MS.NET developers, some are java developers, some are JavaEE developers, some are CS students, etc. Among those many groups there is not a common thread of using a continuous integration build server.

I should know I went through some interviewing for Andriod Training positions recently. Not that Android Training houses/firms are bad..its just that if the goal is designing Mobile [...]
This does not look like very much right now. Something is being developed that will be shown over at my github account in or around Sept 22nd. For lack of a better name I came up with the project name of AndDeepDish. And the complex Activity/ViewGroup transitions are Android 1.5 compatible!
How many of you are fed up with the broken MVC in Android? How many of you are fed up with having to learn another testing framework just to test objects coupled to the context and even than the port of easymock cannot even handle all those use cases? How many of you took a [...]
