Engineering Game Development

Last night I tried to update various blog plug-ins and I decided to do it while watching a rather good episode of House. Lets just say I shouldn’t have been distracted.

So if any RSS feeds have been spammed as I tried to fix the general mess that the half updated and broken installs created, then I apologise.

As an aside, I took this opportunity to update my Blog Roll with a subsection of the blogs I regularly read (if I put all of them it would be to long a list) so have a look through and see if there’s anything you haven’t seen before and get subscribed! If I’m missing anything, or there are blogs that should be there, let me know.

Normal service will now resume.

I’m not one for bringing up promotions from companies but it was brought to my attention the other day that SmartBear are offering 5 licences for their Code Reviewer tool (a more light weight version of Code Collaborator) for the tiny sum of $5. And in the way that marketing departments like things to flow together, they are only doing this for 5 days – from July 13th to 17th. 5 licences for $5, only for 5 days.

I’m a fan of SmartBear’s tools, I’d go as far as to say that Code Collaborator is one of my favourite code review tool out there, but to be honest what makes me want to mention this is that they will donate all the money raised from this promotion to a start-up to help them keep their heads above water (as of writing this it’s not been announced which one).

They are also providing a mid-week Webinar that will step you through how to use Code Reviewer, so check that out if you need a bit more information about it.

Anyway, if this might persuade you to give code reviewing a go or could help you formalise you process a little bit more, then check it out and see if this is right for you.
