WCF or ASP.NET Web APIs? My two cents on the subject (blogs.microsoft.co.il)

submitted by idof(307) 2 months, 19 days ago

A couple of weeks ago (around Feb. 16) the WCF WebAPIs - a framework for building RESTful/Hypermedia/HTTP services, which was in development over the past 1.5 years as a side-project on CodePlex, has been formally integrated into ASP.NET and its name changed to the ASP.NET Web API. These past two weeks, there has been a lot of questions among WCF developers: What does it mean that the Web APIs are no longer a part of WCF – is WCF dead? Has SOAP gone bankrupted? is HTTP the new way to go for interoperability? This post will try to answer those questions. read more...

Entity framework and nhibernate too complex? Say hello to FluentData. (fluentdata.codeplex.com)

submitted by alessandrokicks(195) 3 months, 6 days ago

Are you tired of fighting with overly complex ORMs such as Entity Framework and NHibernate? Are you tired of poorly generated SQL or having to change your business objects to work with your ORM? Do you miss the power and performance of ADO.NET and SQL, but not the manual tedious work? If so FluentData might be the framework for you. FluentData is a Micro ORM that makes it simple to select, insert, update and delete data in a database. It gives the developer the power of ADO.NET but with the convenience of an ORM. It has a simple to use fluent API that uses SQL - the best and most suitable language to query data, and SQL or fluent builders to insert, update and delete data. read more...

Economics of Continuous Deployment(ayende.com)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 3 months, 13 days ago

CI is great, you'd think then that continuous deployment would be just as awesome. Clients automatically get access to the latest build, and you as the developer don't even have to think about it. That's what Ayende and his team thought as well, until they discovered the hidden economic issues behind this delivery model. read more...

Basic Raven DB Indexing and Querying with Lucene(unstructuredthinking.blogspot.com.au)

submitted by guffshemr(178) 3 months, 18 days ago

We've got up and running with Raven DB for our new project, which has been a delight to use from a code perspective, but one of the big gaps for me is figuring out how to do SQL like queries. I'm not too bad at putting a SQL query together as something I do semi-regularly as part of my job, so I thought it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to start pulling some statistics. I was wrong. read more...

submitted by flyingkick(331) 3 months, 20 days ago

A good server design has no, or very few, single points of failure. One of the most common server component that fails, are disks. So data redundancy becomes essential to recoverability. Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks (RAID) is a disk system that provides better fault-tolerance by making use of redundancy of disk(s). read more...

Lazy developer(osmirnov.net)

submitted by slo2ols(618) 1 year, 4 months ago

If I ask about Lazy Loading pattern, 99 out of 100 developers know what it is and what it eats. But if I ask where they use it most often, then more than half will answer - for implementation of Singleton pattern (sometimes I think that 110 of 100 developers know about it). We won't blame them for such illnesses as singletonism (singletonitis is who very love singletons), but the fact remains when developers take for ORM the Lazy Loading are interested them in the least. Let's find out why. read more...
