November 2022 Edition
Howdy from all the CodeRanch staff, and welcome to the November edition of the Journal.

No, not to a local pub for a glass of mulled wine, but to do some puzzle solving during Advent of Code - https://adventofcode.com
And yes, like in previous years, we are planning to share our solutions at CodeRanch - https://coderanch.com/t/755802/Advent-Code

Eventually you'd see if we actually touched that mulled wine, when all of a sudden those elegant solutions would get thrown out and we'd go quick n' dirty.

A message from Jeanne:

We've been on Twitter for many years and now have an account on Mastodon:
https://fosstodon.org/@coderanch

To date, Twitter has been just the promos. We hope to do better and post more on Mastodon.

The Java community has been active in building community on Mastodon.
There's even a website listing Twitter/Mastodon/GitHub handles - https://javabubble.org
You can import the csv to Mastodon to jump start Java community.

We are emerging into the time of the year when various thoughts kick in.
I feel it is the right time to go back in time and learn, how we ended up here!

You know that CodeRanch is running on a heavily modified JForum software version for over a decade now, right...

But do you know how all this started? https://coderanch.com/wiki/659923/Reading-Ranch-JForum

Won't say anything else, have a fun read! Some of the threads / pages you may want to start with:

  • A better way to design TicTacToe
  • And like in all software design related topics, our moderator Junilu Lacar "A better way..." assimilates with a "Test driven way...".

  • This might be the first time we see a Hat-Check Problem at CodeRanch
  • Those that are familiar with numbers are all in!

  • Another rare, but very interesting discussion about the Code coverage
  • Wondering how code coverage can be observed? If you never come across, check SonarCloud. The tool I personally love a lot!

    Liutauras Vilda - a sheriff, who's wandering around here for almost 10 years now, well, not yet, in the next 2 years or so. But it doesn't hurt to give you a hint what's coming.
