Recursive Ruby Script to replace File/Directory Names & File Contents(dannydouglass.com)

submitted by DannyDouglass(1260) 1 year, 3 months ago

Over this past weekend I began templating a project structure that we use at my day/evening/night job to allow developers to simply execute a script and provide a few parameters to initialize a new development project (including build script, fxcop analysis, unit testing, visual studio projects, etc.). I didn’t think this would take that long despite being relatively new to the Ruby world. Oddly enough, I had trouble finding similar examples on the interwebs – even StackOverflow didn’t have the answer! The horror, the horror! No matter, I’m a developer after all and should be, better be capable of handling this simple script. I decided to start simple and just use the directory global searching method to recursively get everything within my project template’s directory: read more...

Simplify Using Xml Data with AutoMapper and Linq-To-Xml(dannydouglass.com)

submitted by DannyDouglass(1260) 1 year, 6 months ago

I recently ran into a scenario at work that required manually consuming several SOAP web services, which I’m sure you can imagine was rather monotonous. A co-worker (Seth Carney) and I tried a few different approaches, but we finally settled on a solution that simplified consumption of the xml and ultimately made the code more testable. That solution centered around leveraging AutoMapper, an open source object-object mapping tool, to create a link between the XElements returned in the SOAP messages and custom contracts we created – in a reusable manner. I put together a quick demo that shows how you could use the same approach to consume and display the Twitter Public Timeline (using the API’s Xml response type). read more...

A Better Hg Command Line Interface: Console2 + PowerShell + Posh-Hg(dannydouglass.com)

submitted by DannyDouglass(1260) 1 year, 6 months ago

Moving from Subversion to Mercurial was more than a change from a centralized version control system to a distributed solution. I also found myself moving away from the explorer integration provided by the Tortoise products to the command line for the execution of my hg commands. This approach is dramatically faster once you get used to the syntax, which really only takes a hot minute. Certain features in TortoiseHg still provide visual advantages that I find useful, such as the visual repository log. During an Agile.Net Bootcamp with Jimmy Bogard he showed us an collection of tools he utilizes to provide an improved Mercurial command line experience. The final product is a more descriptive prompt that displays branch information, as well as the number and types of changes made since your last commit… read more...

What’s Nu in the .NET World Part 2: Creating a Gem(dannydouglass.com)

submitted by DannyDouglass(1260) 1 year, 9 months ago

If you are not familiar with the Nu project start by reading my first post in this series that gives an introduction to getting started with this promising tool. As a quick reference I’ll post a paragraph from the last post introducing Nu: “Nu is an open source tool built by Dru Sellers (and several others) that aims at bringing Gems, one of Ruby’s most revered features, to the .NET world. If you are not familiar with Gems I suggest you take a minute to read up on them. I would venture a bet that you are already familiar with at least one gem – Ruby on Rails. The following line of code is all that is required to install the Ruby on Rails gem (after installing the Ruby library of course)…” This post is focused on sharing my experience in creating my first gem for the Spark View Engine. I would be doing you a great disservice if I did not start by saying how easy it is to create a gem. Actually easy is the wrong phrase – crazy easy is more telling. Since I would never ask you to take my word for it, it must mean it is time to show some code. read more...

What's Nu in the .NET World?(dannydouglass.com)

submitted by DannyDouglass(1260) 1 year, 9 months ago

If you thought the word "Nu" in the title of this blog post was misspelled, you are in for a treat. And trust me, you are not the only one who made that grammatical assumption. Nu is an open source tool built by Dru Sellers that aims at bringing Gems, one of Ruby’s most revered features, to the .NET world. If you are not familiar with Gems I suggest you take a minute to read up on them. I would venture a bet that you are already familiar with at least one gem – Ruby on Rails.

Mercurial: Create Remote Repositories Using PowerShell(dannydouglass.com)

submitted by DannyDouglass(1260) 1 year, 9 months ago

One limitation when using http as a publishing mechanism is that you cannot create a repository remotely; no if, ands, or buts about it. Another twist was that our CM (Configuration Management) procedures dictate that our developers are not permitted to RDP into the Mercurial server. This left us trying to decide how to allow developers to create repositories remotely since our http communication channel does not allow remote repository creation. This post details an approach leveraging PowerShell as a solution to this problem. read more...
