...but writing the code tired me out too much to write the article now as well. And it's only a wee little class, but for once I did proper unit testing. Very thorough in fact for the little the class does, but it pretty much got me going with TDD again, which is a good thing. Something besides WPF, MVVM, Prism, and C# I can mentor the team at work in. Phew. Glad I'm off work four days for the Easter weekend now, including today. It's my first WPF, MVVM and Prism project, so it's sometimes been tough going.

I keep meaning to try doing some WPF as I've never done it before. Every time I start though I can't really seem to find an explanation of which is the "official" design pattern. Should I use MVC, MVP, MVVM?

Plain WPF is the only "official" design pattern, but MVP and MVVM are very popular. I quite like MVVM a lot myself, but it lacks central control, unless you use your main shell view as the boss. I rather use a singleton Application model, so no view has to always be open, but it differs from a controller in that it's more of a foundation than a switch. If you use a framework like Prism, some of its objects, like the Region Manager, can play some controller role. Otherwise it can be uncontrolled, with one view opening another and closing itself, with the program flow. That fits more with the View First approach, where opening a view is the starting point, then it creates its view model, which invokes any models it may in turn need.

Shouldn't you be in Magaliesburg or Nelspruit?

I'm dead broke. I barely have money for the three days train fair I need for work next week before payday. I was at a trance party near Magaliesberg two weekends ago. Nice break.

Sorry to hear that. May be you can have some good time at Arts on Main on Sunday.

I guess you do know what happens there every Sunday. I am in India since December now so not really sure if htey have anything special. But that place has always been special to me. That Argentinian guy with special vegetarian sandwich, just for me and then Ethiopian coffee.
Most important, Jo'burg's mini breweries and all them awesome beers. I love that place.

I'm a bit out of touch, have been for a while. No further than the corner pub on nearly all Sundays for the last two years or so.

If you seem so out of touch, I would recommend Greenside. Nice little shabeem and then Jolly Rogers for drought Stella and a nice little pizza.
For Arts on Main, same old same old. Some local beers, salsa music from that Midrand guy and good food from lots of countries. Plus it really does comes with a mixed crowd with no inhibitions.
Sorry to say but SA is still divided as far as outsider view is concerned. Coming from India I sometimes find it difficult to gel in to otherwise extremely friendly and awesome nation.

I'm going to meet with a vitamin company today that wants to sponsor my sister and I as an athlete team.
It's nothing big as far as sponsor and sports go, but it sure seems fantastic to me! I'm so excited. I meet them after work today.

Maybe you should tweet about it.
Seriously, sponsors want ads, so the more followers you tell about your product the more you will get from other products.

I'm not on social media at the moment. If they sponsor me, then I will create an athlete account on facebook, and possibly start twitter.
The only social network I'm on right now is bodybuilding.com

Just remember, sponsorship isn't altruistic. Practice saying, "I would like to thank Vitamin A for my win, without Vitamin A I couldn't have done it" and then drink the vitamin A water with label towards the camera.

So will you be doing those telemarketing advertisements now?
Congratulations and all the best!

My sister and I do grappling (BJJ) tournaments and local obstacle courses like the spartan race, and tough mudders.
I do MMA (cage) fighting, but my sister doesn't (yet).
Pretty much local amateur sporting events.

If you get real good, a local hospital may sponsor you. Send your victims opponents to

If I ask, it's OK to say who the sponsor is? I suppose we'll will have to wait until the sponsorship is in place.
Good luck then!
I saw a format you can use, Get pumped![^] 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

|

Yeah, I'll make a post if I get it and say who it is. Until I'm for sure, I should probly wait.

Good call. Don't want to do anything to risk annoying them unnecessarily.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Congrats
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

That would be sweet... nothing like getting paid to do something you love to do anyway.
Good luck!

No way, I learnt that trick with programming. Sports will remain my hobby forever
