Updated Apr 5 2019:

because this is a gist from 2011 that people stumble into and maybe you should AES instead of 3DES in the year of our lord 2019.

If you're coming to the Property-Based TDD As If You Meant It Workshop, you will need to bring a laptop with your favourite programming environment, a property-based testing library and, depending on the language, a test framework to run the property-based-tests.

Any other languages or suggestions? Comment below.

.NET (C#, F#, VB)

• FsCheck

Python:

hydr

        public static List<List<Coordinate>> ToGoogleMapsPolygon(this DbGeography dbGeo)
        {
            // contains all geo data for one postal code / admin area code
            // conversion to SqlGeography because DbGeography does not offer properties to determine rings within geometries. we need those ring information to display areas with holes
            var sqlGeo = (SqlGeography) dbGeo.ProviderValue;

            var numberOfGeometries = sqlGeo.STNumGeometries();
            var result = new List<List<Coordinate>>((int) numberOfGeometries);

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

• One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
• A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

• Unison for file synchronization
• EncFS for folder encryption

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.
