Git's guts: Branches, HEAD, and fast-forwards(lostechies.com)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 2 years, 6 months ago

Lets get some learning done. There are a few questions that keep cropping up when I introduce people to Git, so I thought I'd post some answers as a mini-series of blog posts. I'll cover some fundamentals, while trying not to retread too much ground that the fantastic Git community book already covers so well. Instead I'm going to talk about things that should help you understand what you and Git are doing day-to-day. read more...

Selective Unit Testing – Costs and Benefits(blog.codeville.net)

submitted by desmond(2014) 2 years, 6 months ago

Test Driven Development is widely regarded as a hallmark technique of professional software development, but should you really do it all the time? Steve Sanderson argues that unit tests yield significant practical business value only for certain kinds of code. This blog post suggests what might be the underlying forces that determine whether unit tests will justify the long-term expense of creating and maintaining them. These ideas are then applied to structuring an ASP.NET MVC application. read more...

Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control with ASP.MET MVC(mikesdotnetting.com)

submitted by Mikesdotnetting(340) 2 years, 7 months ago

As you delve more into ASP.NET MVC you start to come across a whole new way of doing things that Web Forms development didn't really expose you to. Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI) are two phrases that crop up a lot in the MVC space. So what are they all about? And should you care? read more...

xVal v1.0 is now released(blog.codeville.net)

submitted by desmond(2014) 2 years, 8 months ago

In case you’re not aware, xVal is a validation helper for ASP.NET MVC that lets you use your own choice of server-side validation framework (e.g., Microsoft’s DataAnnotations attributes, or Castle Validator, or NHibernate Validaion) and dynamically generates client-side validation code from your rules. Version 1.0 adds new features including dynamic client-side validation summaries and remote (ajax) validation rules. read more...

ASP.NET MVC MvcSiteMapProvider 1.0 released(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 2 years, 8 months ago

Back in March, I blogged about an experimental MvcSiteMap provider I was building. Today, I am proud to announce that it is stable enough to call it version 1.0! Download MvcSiteMapProvider 1.0 over at CodePlex. Ever since the source code release I did back in March, a lot of new features have been added, such as HtmlHelper extension methods, attributes, dynamic parameters, … I’ll leave most of them up to you to discover, but there are some I want to quickly highlight. read more...

My Barriers to Learning TDD(randomactsofcoding.blogspot.com)

submitted by JamesEggers(1250) 2 years, 8 months ago

As a follow up to my previous post declaring that I finally "get" TDD to some extent, I figured I'd reflect on the barriers that I have had up to this point which made it difficult for me to learn how to unit test in some effective manner as well as truly understanding the benefits of TDD practices. Now, I am by no means claiming to be an expert in unit testing, mocking, or TDD. I didn't open the refrigerator, drink some of the TDD-flavored Kool-Aid, and threw on a subsequent Mortarboard to illustrate that I've somehow graduated into this new, higher level of software development. I'm still learning from others as well as my own errors experiences just like everyone else. The purpose of this is to reveal to others some of the issues that I had and hopefully provide some insight on how to overcome such. read more...

Finally Understanding the Merits of TDD(randomactsofcoding.blogspot.com)

submitted by JamesEggers(1250) 2 years, 9 months ago

I'm not a TDD person...or at least I wasn't until last week. Up until then, I had read the blogs and looked at the examples to try to understand TDD and unit testing (with mocking) in general. Almost all of the examples I was shown demonstrated very basic scenarios that, in most cases, were too trivial to show value. I would ask people who would speak about unit testing in general how you'd do a specific scenario and would get mix responses ranging from "just try it" to "you should be using this tool and it'll just write the tests for you". read more...

Integration Testing Your ASP.NET MVC Application(blog.codeville.net)

submitted by desmond(2014) 2 years, 11 months ago

Unit tests are great for proving the correctness of a single component. But how can you prove that you whole ASP.NET MVC application hangs together properly - including its view templates, configuration settings, and database schema? Integration tests cover what unit tests can't - Steven Sanderson shows one way to approach it with ASP.NET MVC. read more...
