DevRoadmaps publisher Dave Harms explains the reason for the current publishing hiatus.

The 2012 WxDevCon is now under way in Nashville, TN. Andy Stapleton has posted some pics.

I thought I'd be back on track with the closing instalments of WinDev in an Hour a Day but Hurricane Sandy has caused headaches, not for DevRoadmaps but for a consulting client. I hope to resume WDIAHAD next week. 

Dave Harms takes a look at WinDev's ability to create components for multiple platforms, and comes across a few configuration options that hint at build automation and customized code generation.

Dave Harms explores component creation and discovers a tools collection he didn't know existed.

There's something fitting about covering time management and business rules in the same post... 

WinDev's integrated source code management makes it easier for teams to collaborate on projects. And not just teams - if you're a lone developer you have a lot to gain by using SCM.

The project dashboard provides a lot of different ways to track the health of your project; you can change how WinDev evaluates the patient's vital signs. And then there's SCM, which also plays into project status tracking.

There's lots of useful stuff in the project dashboard, not least of which is the option to enable source code management. 

Dave Harms solves his object-passing problem with help from Peter Holemans and offers up a short argument for why passing "self" to another object should be a rare occurrence. He also touches on constants, reference assignments, interfaces and multiple inheritance. 

Our WinDev In An Hour A Day series is taking a break so we can get caught up on other content and hopefully get the site software updated (there are lots of cool new features in the update, so stay tuned!)
