• MongoDB vs. SQL Server 2008 Performance Showdown
  
  This article is a follow up one I wrote last week entitled “The NoSQL Movement, LINQ, and MongoDB - Oh My!”. In that article I introduced the NoSQL movement, MongoDB, and showed you how to program against it in.NET using LINQ and NoRM. For ease-of-use, you’ll have to want to read the original article. This article is about the performance argument for MongoDB over SQL Server (or MySql or Oracle). In the first article, I threw out a potentially controversial graph showing MongoDB performing 100 *times* better than SQL Server for inserts. Those were. Your Turn.

• Article: Avoiding 5 Common Pitfalls in Unit Testing
  
  Llewellyn Falco and I recently wrote an article for DevelopMentor's Developments newsletter entitled Avoiding 5 Common Pitfalls in Unit Testing. Because tests were only there to service and support the production code, they became second class citizens. We would spend time carefully choosing method names, refactoring our code to keep our classes and methods small, and so on. But we never applied these same principles to our test code. Solution: Going forward, we expect the same quality of code (or higher) in the unit tests as we do for our production code.

• The NoSQL Movement, LINQ, and MongoDB - Oh My!
  
  This is only a few lines of code per collection (think of this as a table). Once in the database and once, in parallel, in code? How much faster than the finely tune system that is SQL Server 2008 can these open source NoSQL systems be?”. ll be posting a full performance comparison with source code soon. This is free, open-source database which runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X systems. Let’s write some code. You may also want to check out the source code for my demo app: Download Sample: RssMongoSample-Kennedy.zip. Insanity!”

• Article: 10 Features in.NET 4.0 that made Me Smile
  
  I recently wrote another article for DevelopMentor 's Developments newsletter (not subscribed yet? Barrier lets you define rendezvous points in your code where multiple concurrent operations can automatically sync-up. Code contracts. Code contracts allow you to assert truths about your code as if you are writing a unit test. But these assertions live within your production code and are both verified by the compiler as well as the runtime. Also have a look at my article from last month Six Things That’ll Surprise You About.NET 4.0. ll wait. class.

• Building Windows Machines in Amazon EC2
  
  In this article I'm going to give you a simple, step-by-step overview of how to create a Windows 2008 server image in Amazon's Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) infrastructure. Well maybe you are buying into the whole cloud computing story which lets you cheaply out-source your computer hardware for amazingly cheap prices (staring around $0.20 / hour for a dedicated machine). All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis. Tags: Articles Tools Feel free to send me any I missed. Here we go. Launch! Running!

You can read the entire article (republished just below this introduction) or if you’d rather see it as a quick set of 6 sides, you can see those here: Six Things That’ll Surprise You About.NET 4.0. In this article, we will explore some of the new features of the.NET 4.0 code-oriented features are a major focus of the improvements for VS 2010. But the part you really needed to split up, the code and designers, were solidly grounded in the one IDE window. by Michael Kennedy. quot; anyone?
