submitted by bradygaster(4897) 6 months, 1 day ago

Suppose you had a some scary-looking hoodlum walking around your house when you were out? You’d want to know about it, wouldn’t you? Take one Kinect, mix in a little Windows Azure Service Bus, sprinkle in some SignalR, and mix it all together with some elbow grease, and you could watch in near-real-time as sinewy folks romp through your living room.

This post will demonstrate how to host WCF services in an Azure worker role in a manner that will offer REST-like JSON API support. read more...

Testing SignalR Connections with NUnit(www.bradygaster.com)

submitted by bradygaster(4897) 7 months, 1 day ago

The SignalR GitHub site has an example wherein a SignalR PersistentConnection instance is used from a non-HTML client. The idea of being able to use SignalR connections in applications other than those that run in a web browser raises some interesting challenges. Likewise, there aren’t too many examples on how to use SignalR connections. This post will demonstrate asynchronously testing a SignalR connection in an end-to-end scenario using NUnit. read more...

The Robot Factory Code Kata(bradygaster.com)

submitted by bradygaster(4897) 7 months, 13 days ago

On the drive home from my last Behavior Driven Development talk, I began thinking about the idea of Code Katas and how one might be appropriate in my future disucssions of Behavior Driven Development. Given that BDD tries to solve things in as simple and direct a path as possible, and given that BDD takes some of the lessons learned via TDD and applies them in slightly more business-centric language, a Kata would demonstrate well the effectiveness of BDD when applied to a problem domain. So, I took the example problem domain of a robotic assembly line that I've been using since I was a full-time trainer and implemented it using SpecFlow and Moq. read more...

Geo-Load Balancing with the Azure Traffic Manager(blog.structuretoobig.com)

submitted by bradygaster(4897) 7 months, 16 days ago

When you deploy a typical web role in Azure, each instance is automatically load balanced at the datacenter level. The Azure Fabric Controller manages upgrades and maintenance of those instances to ensure uptime. But what about if you want to have a web solution closer to where your users are? Or automatically direct traffic to a location in the event of an outage? This is where the Azure Traffic Manager comes in, and I have to say, it is so easy to set up – it boggles my mind that in today’s day and age, individuals can prop up large, redundant, durable, distributed applications in seconds that would rival the infrastructure of the largest websites. read more...
