Dish washing and the Chain of Responsibility Pattern have a few things in common. In our house, cleaning out the dishwasher is a shared chore. My son starts the unloading process by removing a dish or utensil from the dishwasher. If he can put it away, then he does. If the proper location for the dish is out of his reach, then he passes it to his mother. She then goes through the same process; put the dish away if she can, or pass it off to the next person in line, which is me. When I get...

Sweat was dripping down my neck. Did we just lose an invoice — and therefore money?! If you want to...

When I talk to developers and managers about Azure they immediately think about large scale applications, amongst other things like information security & privacy which I won’t cover in this blog post. Let me say you this: No you don’t need terabytes of data and millions of customers to consider Azure! Even in your day to day job as a developer Azure can be really worth it. For example my friend Roland Krummenacher has an excellent blog post series in German called “Real World Windows...

This blogpost is part of a larger blog post series. Get the overview of the content here. Start early with an automated deployment. It will safe your ass! But try to keep it as simple as possible. If your deployment gets to complex this usually indicates that your “thing” decomposition is also too complex. Tools like Octopus Deploy or the Deployment Manager from Redgate help to visualize and monitor the deployment process to multiple environments. Keep in mind that managing the configuration...
