WCF Versioning Guidelines

Wed, 05 Jan 2011 08:12:34 GMT

Services exist in order to serve external clients. They do so by exposing a wide range of external interfaces which are later used by the clients to interact with the service. After initial deployment, and potentially several times during their lifetime, services may need to be changed for a variety of reasons, such as changing business needs, re-factorization of code, or to address other issues. Each change introduces a new version of the service. Each new service version potentially introduces changes to the external interfaces exposed by the service. Our goal, as developers, is to be able to freely change our service internals (and sometimes, when needed, external interfaces), and on the same time, allow existing and new clients to keep using the service. In order to do so, we need to form a set of versioning guidelines.

How I've put my wife into SVN

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:31:14 GMT

SVN and TortoiseSVN are really great tools. It is a shame that these tools are used only by developers. I believe that every home should use SVN to keep track of it's files. The problem is that these tools are planned for developers. Using the file-system in windows is not a trivial task for everyone. In fact, sometimes people tend to be afraid of it. Not only using the file-system, but also using some client application that does not even have a window? And where do I get an SVN server anyway?!? Keep reading. you might find it useful.
