• Testing Difficult Code
  
  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.

• 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 ".

• Certificate Validation and Setting up Service Bus 1.0 Beta for Windows Server
  
  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.

• Using Reporters in Approval Tests
  
  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?

• Creating an #AngularJS Controller
  
  '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 = "?"

• Roll Your Own REST-ful WCF Router
  
  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 !=

• Maurice de Beijer: 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.

• How to improve a team's velocity?
  
  By way of wrapping up my velocity mini-series ( Two ways to fill and iteration , Filling an iteration too well , and Velocity Targeting and Velocity Inflation ) I’m going to end with some advice on how to improve a team’s velocity. Over time these add up to big improvements. To use economic logic: this is about improving the supply-side. The supply-side argument (largely monetarist) suggests the way to solve unemployment is not to increase demand (Keynes style) but to loosen and liberalise the labour market. But back to software.

• How to build a Development/Test/Demo CA
  
  So I ended up running Windows Cerificate Services which proved to be an easy to use, robust solution. just had to rebuild my Test CA (on Hyper-V) so I thought I'll document the important steps (for self-reference and whoever might be interested). They usually expire on the very day where you have to do an important demo. Now by default there is an entry pointing to the CA's Netbios name. better solution is to create a revocation list once, and store that at a publicly available location. Next you have to publish a CRL. Set it to e.g. five years.

• How to get started with Knockout.js
  
  Once you get into doing more client side JavaScript code with business applications and REST services you are going to run into the question of how to construct the client side HTML required to show the data to the users. Using jQuery Assuming most people are going to be using jQuery on the client you might start with some jQuery code to generate HTML. And in all likelihood the actual HTML that needs to be generated will be quite a bit more complex. The next step people tend to take is using templates. click( function () {. $.getJSON(
