- How to discover what font was used
Sometimes you’re working on a website and you get some images with text in them, but no one remembers what fonts was used in the image. No fear! There is a website call “What The Font” that will take your picture and tell you what font was used: [link]. ASP.NET
DevelopMentor Courses - Monday, December 26, 2011 - jQuery UI and Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10 touch screens
I recently did a blog post describing how to enable the jQuery UI drag effects. In this post I showed how to get the draggable effect to work on an iPad. What we need to do is take control of the action IE10 performs on touch. Setting its value to 'none' is all we need to do. This will suppress the default IE10 behavior and pass the gestures on to the jQuery event handler. You can toggle the support for touch events using the button to try both with and without support for touch. It turns out this is rather simple.

I recently did 3 videos in my ‘ Using ApprovalTests in.Net’ series that deal with how to test difficult code. These video actually have very little to do with either.Net or ApprovalTests, but they are common issues you run into when unit testing. Seams Testing difficult Code comes down to 2 things: Can I call the Method? Will the Method run to completion? And there are 2 techniques I use to deal with these, that individually are useful, but together are amazing. The idea behind the peel is to break the method up into easy to run pieces.
DevelopMentor Courses - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - Building Scalable and Secure WCF Services
The key to building scalable WCF services is to eliminate binding configurations that could result in server affinity. Both BasicHttpBinding and WebHttpBinding, however, are sessionless and allow you to call a service multiple times without concern for which physical server responds to the call. Here is a snapshot of 5 calls to a service with HTTP Keep-Alive enabled over SSL. This is fine and dandy when clients are talking to the same back-end server and the SSL handshake only takes place when the connection is established. allowCookies = " false ".

Today I pushed new versions of ApprovalTests for both C# and Java to SourceForge. He and I pair-programmed remotely (he lives in Finland) to extend ApprovalTests per his ‘asks’. If you are using ApprovalTests and have an idea for a feature, please ping me via twitter @LlewellynFalco and I’ll pair with you to code up your idea as well. assume that you have tried out Reporters if you are reading this blog, however, just to get us started, I’ll remind you that a Reporter is called when an ApprovalTest fails. Let me know how it works for you. Why Use Reporters?

There is a good walkthrough of the new beta in the MSDN documentation here including how to install it. Well if you install the beta on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box and you actually develop on another machine then there’s a couple of things not mentioned in the documentation that you need to do (having previously spent long hour glaring at certificate errors allowed me to resolve things pretty quickly). Certificate validation has a number of steps to it for a certificate to be considered valid: The issuer of the cert must be trusted. for Windows Server.

'In the previous blog post I showed how to get started with a really minimal AngularJS application. So far we have only seen the View part as the HTML used was the view used to render the page to the user. It gathers the data (Model) together and tells the View to render the data to the user. It also responds to events to do things. As this is used with the new keyword to create an object I have capitalized the first letter as is the convention in JavaScript. For those not used to JavaScript the (+$scope.x) operator = "?"

Recently I’ve been tasked with building a WCF routing service and faced the choice of whether to go with the built-in router that ships with WCF 4.0 , or to build one from scratch. Nevertheless, there are times when it might make sense to build a router that can talk to clients who don’t know anything about Soap, for example, an AJAX web application. While the ASP.NET MVC or the new ASP.NET Web API might seems like attractive options, WCF is the way to go if you need to accommodate both Soap-based and Rest-ful clients. FirstOrDefault(); if (region !=
DevelopMentor Courses - Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - Unit testing code depending on the ASP.NET #WebApi HttpClient
'In a previous post I showed how to unit test an ASP.NET WebAPI Controller. In this case the client application contains the following class to load books from the REST WebAPI controller: 1: public class BooksClient. This class uses the HttpClient to request the data from the service and extracts the books from the body before returning them. If we want to test this class we need to pass in an HttpClient object. This HttpMessageHandler is used as the pipeline to send requests and we can completely replace this with our own implementation. 14: {.

Usage guidelines that explain how to avoid subtle STL correctness and performance traps. There are no hands-on exercises, but participants are welcome to use their computers to experiment with the course material as it is presented. Developers who fail to grasp the design often produce software that looks reasonable, but that's actually brittle, inefficient, and home to subtle bugs. This seminar illuminates the architecture that underlies the STL: its fundamental concepts, components, and how they relate to one another.

'Index: Getting started with AngularJS Creating an AngularJS Controller The AngularJS $scope is not the MVC Model Using repeating elements in #AngularJS In the previous posts I showed how to get started with AngularJS and use some of the basic AngularJS directives to data bind. In these examples I uses a really simple single element to bind to. However in lots of business cases you really need to display a list of repeating elements. Fortunately this is really easy to do. Take a look at the simple list of people below. 2: 3: $scope.people = [.
The Problem Solver - Friday, May 10, 2013 - An Effective Introduction to the STL Training
Knowledge of how to integrate STL containers with code expecting arrays and other C-like data structures. The ability to cope with the complex STL-related error messages compilers often generate. The Standard Template Library (the STL) is the most exciting C++ innovation in a decade, one that promises to revolutionize C++ software development. In a combination of lectures and labs, this course brings out the underlying design of the STL, demonstrates how to take advantage of the library's strengths, and shows how to avoid its weaknesses.

mic said in his NDC talk … Using ApprovalTests makes what was implicit , explicit so that the item can now be tested Inspired by his talk, Jim Counts and I created a new method in AspApprovals to make the formerly implicit ASP routing explicit and now easily able to be tested. For example, it it easy to accidentally remove a button-click event. Event approvals allows you to easily lock down existing events which are associated with an object or a form. Unfortunately, many times you don’t want to say ‘What are the events associated with this button"?

DevelopMentor Courses - Tuesday, March 1, 2011 - 10 Things to make you Agile adoption successfull
few months ago, at the end of the course, someone asked the obvious question, a question so obvious I wonder why nobody has asked it before: “What can we do to ensure that we are in the 30% who make it?” Given that I had the Managing Director, the Director of Technology and most of the technology team in the room it was an excellent opportunity to set the change agenda. And I fluffed it, despite having written a book on the subject I didn’t have a quick answer to hand. But it set me thinking: “What are the 10 things a team can do to make Agile (any flavour) stick?”
