I have recently had a couple of interesting discussions with a different people on twitter and “the real world” about the use of third party build dependencies in your build. The topic of these discussions has been about where these dependencies should be located, inside your project, or installed on your build server. (more)

Stubbing a File Stream, Memory Stream, or Stream « Composite Code

Here’s the class that has a Func setup as a property. The reason this is setup, is so that the stream can actually be stubbed on the ComplianceReportingJob. Otherwise if the Stream was just being used as is, instantiated in the class, or passed in via injection, we still couldn’t get it mocked or stubbed. Especially if the class ComplianceReportingJob is under test. public class ComplianceReportingJob : IJob { readonly ITradeRepository tradeRepo; readonly IFileSystem fileSys; public Compl... (more)

"I seek Senior Developer position" - something like this begins Objective section in most CVs. The point is not that a company is looking for a developer precisely on such position and that the developer appreciated not only themselves but also other developers of this company, when he wrote his CV. In today post we will describe how to make this assessment developers and recruiters. (more)

Breaking your project into Iterations and getting regular feedback on the iteration is the essence of Agile.  In simple terms, velocity in an agile world is the amount of work that you can do in each iteration. This is based on experience from previous iterations. As you move over time and do multiple Sprints, the Velocity will be a very useful tool that will allow you to plan and predict the amount of work that the team can do in future Sprint cycles. (more)

Suppose you are working on some web REST API adapter. It would be basically one class with bunch of methods. Each method would represent each supported API call. Through the implementation you would probably landed with something like this, public class ApiAdapter { private HttpClient _client; private RequestFormatHelper _requestFormatHelper; private ResponseFormatHelper _responseFormatHelper; // ... public ApiAdapter() { _client = new HttpClient(/* ... */); ...

Extension methods is one of my favorite features of C# language. It appeared from version 3.0 and became very popular. The main goal of Extension Methods is to provide ability of extension of any class, without creating any derived classes, modifying original type or do "whatever" hacks. It is allowed to extend any type with any functionality in a very seamless fashion. What also great about Extension Methods is they allow to beautifully emulate behavior usually called pipelining (in F# or Bash) and i... (more)

If you're a developer, how often do you interrupt by issues that do not relate to your current problem and do not require urgent attention? And how often do you do that? Does it depend on your position? In this post we are interested in only one word - consequences. All the arguments are written in technical terms, based on those participants who had recently been developers. (The developer in the text can be replaced by a tester, designer, DBA, etc.) (more)

Automated database releases with TeamCity and Red Gate

Wednesday, February 09, 2011 12:03:31 AM GMT Tuesday, February 08, 2011 7:30:48 AM GMT
Databases have long been the poor cousin of the application tier when it comes to many of the processes we take for granted in the .NET world. Source control management, for example, is near ubiquitous for application files and there are several excellent VCS products which make versioning a breeze. Continuous integration is another practice which although not as common, is still frequently present in a robust application lifecycle. Of course the problem is that database objects don’t exist as simple fi... (more)

Last night, I was asked why one should refactor if the test is passing. The test-driven development mantra of “red, green, refactor,” is ingrained in many practitioners' head, but why exactly should you bother with this ‘frivolous’ third step? When you write perfect code, why bother? (more)

A Simple Guide to using OAuth with C# If you are a newbie to OAuth you might understand how confusing it can be at first! I started off looking at building a small application that consumed an OAuth service as a side project. I kinda just dived right in without understanding how OAuth worked and got myself very confused. I have found that there are loads of examples out there explaining in Ruby, Java and Python - but not that many in C#. Eventually I found something on Stackoverflow that explaine... (more)

For those that have not yet heard, NuGet went v1 recently along with a whole slew of tools from the Microsoft folks. I’ve been lucky to be a part of the NuGet project and see it take shape over the past few months with community input and contributions. Even though v1.0 was released, we are already moving forward with getting ideas and prioritizing features for the next version. To follow the announcement, UppercuT (UC) v1.2 now includes support for NuGet out of the box. Plus, it will handle versioning t... (more)
