A project our team (in my employer) has been working on for a good number of months now makes extensive use of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). WCF is nothing really ground-breaking; its significance is that it unifies the various inter-process...

The October 2008 issue of MSDN Magazine features lots of articles about parallelism and concurrency. I guess it's all the rage these days! That's what happens when Moore's Law is no longer directly related to more GHz but more CPU cores instead...

I couldn't believe it: read ScottGu's blog post . Finally, Microsoft is getting *it*. No need to fight it, no need to exhibit their traditional NIH mindset and create their own (as they have demonstrated many times, not only in the .NET platform...

Just in case you haven't seen this yet: http://www.codethinked.com/category/IronRuby-via-C-Series.aspx I'm sure it's a handy tutorial for learning Ruby (using IronRuby for .NET) the language if you've already got C#/.NET background. I...

Of course it's still in Alpha, but get 'em here ! Took it out for a quick spin and it seems still rough around the edges, but hey...no need to build it yourself anymore if you want to try it now.

I really like continuous integration . Having come from a company that didn't practice it at all (this was a time I used to regularly work 12 to 16 hours a day), I was so happy when I got into a company that actually practiced it. I found it to be...

It was my first time to join a community event in Singapore during yesterday's Heroes Community Launch and it was a blast! It was also cool to see that of nine presentors during the event, three of us are Pinoys. I definitely am looking forward to...

Wow, I've been in a black hole for months! The usual excuse -- busy at work on projects. Now that we've gotten our app into production, we're now into firefighting, er... I mean maintenance work for that app. Here are some of the lessons I've...

The previous incarnation of that Microsoft article was heavily panned by critics and in a rare move, Microsoft actually pulled it out of its developer web site. I didn't realise it but Microsoft actually replaced it with one written by Jeffrey Palermo...

We encountered a strange thing in our current project: there are times our client will bomb out with a web exception when a web service call is cancelled. We found it strange because we enclosed our web service call within a try-catch block, specifically...

This was a major announcement , and lots of people were already blogging about it when I turned on my PC this morning. My initial reaction was -- what for? I think that for those who create custom libraries and controls, this will be a godsend. But for...

Just when you thought I've crossed over to the dark side , I guess it wasn't complete yet. This one takes it further. My peers in the office often express amazement at my Visual Studio color theme. Maybe they weren't born yet during DOS (those...

In my early years of programming, performance was everything. These days, since I don't do system-level programming anymore, code maintainability is more important. Of course that doesn't mean to say that it's OK for my code to suck so many...

OK, so now it's time to "walk the talk." I'll be demo-ing here how to develop a user login facility test first -- how you can begin a test, then code your class to pass that test. Then we'll add one feature or behavior at a time until we completely fulfill...
