No Documentation and Time

Today, during the discussion with our fellow developer from offshore noticed the following statement about documentation and time. Thought that it is time to share my feelings with world on this kind of statement(s). Most of us come across such statement from some one or the other, or most of us use these statements in some time or other



.. my feelings is that you guys are used to work with the well defined structure, document and think like that, we lack of that here, we just don't have time to do much of that. I use to work with <<xx>> tool, we used to make a lot of UML design doc, UseCases every thing, but here we don't .. no time for documentation ..


The above statement has 2 controversial concepts.

  1. Follow the Standards
  2. Have NoTime

My understanding towards this goes as mentioned below,


First - NO STANDARDS : Who creates these Standards .. aren't these created by individuals like us??? why people are used to relate them with companies ??? and blame on organisations ??? if there is a practice that is resulting and implemented in an organisation, the employees who is currently working with that company ignore them when they join new organisation and start blame the new organisation. Would like conclude on this topic is, STANDARDS doesn't belong to organisations, but to INDIVIDUALs


Second - HAVE NOTIME : A big laugh, recollect from some old book that, "TIME IS THERE WITH THOSE WHO PLAN". To justify the statement, Prime Minister / Chief Minister / You and ME / Every one 's time is totally planned in-advance with regular stuff like sleep / wakeup / bath / travel / eat / blah .. blah .., isn't it. But what happens if there a sudden requirement for these guys to attend. In case of CMs / PMs they will plan again to reschedule all their plans. Isn't it. But what about those who say,

  • ‘skipped our breakfast as we don’t have time in the morning..’
  • ‘skipped lunch due to heavy work load and no time to visit loo ..’
  • ‘skipped blah .. blah.. due to no time ..’

To me, "HAVE NO TIME" is really a statement with no meaning... GUYS !!!! Wakeup and start planning, then you have lot's of time


Anyhow, pl comment

Intro to XAML

While searching for some server side control and accessing the htmlhidden values through the codebehind of ASP.NET pages, came across the article "Getting Started with XAML". This article is so simple and easy to digest.

All those who are new to .NET, pl start learning the V3.0 directly, dont start from both v1.1 or 2.0.
