• 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.

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.

• Article: Azure Storage
  
  I recently wrote an article for DevelopMentor's Developments newsletter entitled Azure Storage. You can download the sample application and follow along if you want to see the full source code and try it out yourself. The listing below is essentially the code that runs when the uploader application uploads a pending image submission to blob storage. The code to add an entry to Azure Table Storage does not fit into a single method as it's driven through the interaction of several classes we must define. Waiting on Queues: The Reviewer Application's Code.
