As I discussed, I have been to “Rules for Good UI Design” by Joe Nuxoll (@joeracer) at Devoxx 2011. In this talk, he was giving 14 “Golden Eggs” for designing a user interface (UI).
The “Golden Eggs” have been written down from Joe’s slides – I hope without big mistakes. The comments are my summaries from his talk.
The full version of Joe’s talk will be available at Parleys soon.

Our main source code management tool at my employer is SVN. However, in the last year, distributed version control systems have become popular.
Especially GIT, which has been developed by the linux kernel developers has some momentum. Furthermore it has a very nice integration into SVN, so that you can use GIT as an interface to a remote subversion repository. In this post, I will show a little bit how I currently use GIT to interface with different branches of the blueprint and training project.
