QuickFIX buns

Writing applications with QuickFIX has some fun. The FIX engine there is a classical IoC, event driven. Application that uses it has to have only business specific things don't bother with tedious FIX noodles. Easy peeasy.

However, sometimes I have had anxiety because that specifics were not covered properly by tests. No, I tried, tried hard really. With mock or without it, tests for application with QuickFIX looks ugly and non readable due its restrictive and cumbersome design. Very often I had to remove them or simplify their verification because clearly understood that after couple months even I will not be able support it.

Eventually I came to an idea to simplify all that. QuickFIX users may appreciate this. :)

Co - (r)relation?

Sometimes there are interesting things happen in a life. Interesting in a perspective of unexpected correlation. Or rather pretending to. Second time I fall back to Javascript , and second time in transition to a new job. What would it mean? :)

Anyway, here is just a modest announcement about the new reincarnation of an old syntax highlighter. Now it is all as it should be: project in SCM and so on... Ok, almost as it should be.

TomorrowOn Monday will check it on IE at work. WebKit it seems like works.
