The tasks 4 and 5 from section 05 a rather easy conditions. After them, I take the time to revise my solutions to the tasks 2 and 3 (which I left without the full skill rating). In C# I can improve this situation, but there’s still one more point to […]

[LD] Code Hunt #12 – Conditionals – 05.01 to 05.03 ...

In this episode I manage to solve 03.05, the task I didn’t finish last time. There’s some guesswork involved this time, but I figured it out! The two subsequent tasks involve string transformations. We don’t have many tools around for this in native Java, but fortunately, the skill rating metric […]

[LD] Code Hunt Special #01 – Java vs. C# | ...




In this episode I explain how to configure maven plugins on the example of the maven-compile-plugin. Thereby, I switch my maven project from the default Java 1.5 to Java 1.7. Unfortunately, there is no GUI support for this kind of tasks, so we have to get our hands dirty in […]

Maven in Eclipse (m2e) 01 – Project Setup


In task 03.04 I trick the test generator to give me the test cases I want. This helps me solve the task. In task 03.05 the generator gets back at me, generating strange and unhelpful test cases, regardless of what I do. I have to leave the task open in […]
