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...

Windows Azure Diagnostics in PHP(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 1 year, 8 months ago

When working with PHP on Windows Azure, chances are you may want to have a look at what’s going on: log files, crash dumps, performance counters, … All this is valuable information when investigating application issues or doing performance tuning. Windows Azure is slightly different in diagnostics from a regular web application. Usually, you log into a machine via remote desktop or SSH and inspect the log files: management tools (remote desktop or SSH) and data (log files) are all on the same machine. This approach also works with 2 machines, maybe even with 3. However on Windows Azure, you may scale beyond that and have a hard time looking into what is happening in your application if you would have to use the above approach. A solution for this? Meet the Diagnostics Monitor. read more...
