'I’ve been working with MongoDB for a long time now. Back in the early days, there really were no management tools analogous to RDBMS tools (e.g. SQL Server Management Studio ).

Kennedy's Weblog - Monday, April 22, 2013 Tips for optional parameters to ASP.NET MVC action methods Here’s a quick ASP.NET MVC tip to help you be more productive and write cleaner code. We will see how to leverage C# 4′s optional and default parameters in our action methods for greatly simplifying our code while keeping it fully functional and error free. Often you want to pass data to your controllers based on URL parameters. This can either be part of the URL itself in the case of route data or it can be part of the query string. In fact, this tip even works for input forms. This looks great, right? If you had a URL such as. /census/detailsvaltype/1?sortAscending=false. Michael C.

Kennedy's Weblog | MORE | | MongoDB vs. SQL Server 2008 Performance Showdown If you were to attempt to plan out your operating costs per user to help guide the pricing of your product then the cost of storing, querying, and managing your data will likely be a significant part of that calculation. 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. highlighted two cornerstone reasons why you might ditch your SQL Server for the NoSQL world of MongoDB. Those were. Performance. Thanks! Michael C.

Solution: Going forward, we expect the same quality of code (or higher) in the unit tests as we do for our production code. Llewellyn Falco and I recently wrote an article for DevelopMentor's Developments newsletter entitled Avoiding 5 Common Pitfalls in Unit Testing. You can read it at the DevelopMentor website: [link]. I've republished here for my readers. Enjoy! Avoiding 5 Common Pitfalls in Unit Testing. by Llewellyn Falco and Michael Kennedy. So we stopped. That means. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Thursday, August 6, 2009 | - Building ASP.NET MVC Forms with Razor (ASP.NET MVC Foundations Series)
We’ll start with a very basic store website (downloads here: BasicMvcForms_starter.zip and BasicMvcForms_final.zip)which has a database and some basic products already listed. In this ASP.NET MVC Foundations article, we’re going to look at building an ASP.NET MVC page which allows users to create and edit objects in our domain. We’ll cover just the basics of using HTML helpers to map model properties to our HTML form and Model Binding to convert our HTML form back into our rich domain object. Continue reading → Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Friday, January 20, 2012 - Building ASP.NET MVC Forms with Razor (ASP.NET MVC Foundations Series)
We’ll start with a very basic store website (downloads here: BasicMvcForms_starter.zip and BasicMvcForms_final.zip )which has a database and some basic products already listed: Notice that we have five products. There links to edit and create products. Use the Visual Studio tooling to create two empty views as follows: In the resulting dialog, choose strongly-typed with Product and an empty view without referencing the scripts (we do this globally already). Now our links to edit and create products work. This displays the form to begin creating a product. Michael C.

This hack might be bad for production systems, but it *rocks* for unit testing.It This post describes a unit testing library for testing Windows Workflow Foundations. It is not a framework like HarnessIt , NUnit , or MsTest. Rather it's a library that can be used in conjunction with any of these testing frameworks. Download the library with sample test project here: Kennedy.WorkflowTesting.zip (216 KB). You can also just jump to the code. If you like this post, be sure to.

| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | Llewellyn Falco (Approval Tests): What I've learned about open source by pairing with Simon Cropp Use this when creating your nuget with the -Version flag If any of this was confusing checkout these files from my project: VersionInfo.cs , ApprovalTests.csproj , ApprovalTests.CSharp.nuspec , CreateNuget.cmd 1.dll per Nuget Having more than one dll file in a nuget package is a bit counter productive since you now can''t use only 1 of them. 'Over the last 2 weeks I have be fortunate enough to pair with Simon Cropp for about 8 hours on my open source project ApprovalTests. Think about your ''brand'' Often I am writing ApprovalTests because I use ApprovalTests myself. There isn''t. DevelopMentor Courses - Saturday, May 25, 2013 Testing triangles, pyramids and circles, and UAT typically hear people say there are between two and four times as much test code (for unit tests) as production code. Both mean: showing a potentially finished product to real life users and getting their response. 'A few months ago Markus Gartner introduced me to the Testing Triangle, or Testing Pyramid. It looks like this: If you Google you will find a few slightly different version and some go by the name of Testing Pyramid. Now a question: where did this come from? Who should I credit with the original? Markus thinks it mike be Mike Cohn but he’s not sure. Allan Kelly's Blog - Friday, May 24, 2013 Agile Clinic: Dear Allan, we have a little problem with Agile. Could it be that the Product Owners are not sufficiently flexible in what they are asking for and are therefore setting the team up to fail each sprint? 'Consider this blog an Agile Clinic. On Friday an e-mail dropped into my mailbox asking if I could help. The sender has graciously agreed to let me share the mail and my advice with you, all anonymously of course… The sender is new to the team, new to the company, they are developing a custom web app for a client, i.e. they are an ESP or consultancy. the Developers work in sprints, estimating tasks in JIRA as they go.

| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - Product Management an open secret, a differenciator
At the Skills Matter Agile Lean Kanban exchange the other week someone - sorry I missed you name - told me about a report from the BBC on Product Management. It turns out the report is from a branch of the BBC I didn’t know about, “BBC Academy” and it entitled “The State of Product Management 2010.” Its well worth reading if you have an interest in Product Management or the UK software development scene. Although I’ve not blogged about it for a while Product Management is one of my passions. In Silicon Valley there is a well developed role called the Product Manager. Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, December 14, 2010 - Minimal Viable Team to create a Minimally Viable Product
Despite being a bit of a mouthful to say “Minimal Viable Product” and the even more difficult to say “Minimally Marketable Feature” (also known as a “Quantum of Value” or “Business Value Increment”) are very useful concepts. What makes gives them killer power is that they speak to a secret belief held by many people (not just managers) that teams gold-plate development and create products with more than is needed. The same applies to product development: saying Yes to a feature is easy, saying No is hard, but unless you say No a lot more than Yes you won’t have a MVP.

12: public Product Get( int id). Loading the products with the original URL returns exactly the same result as before. This request “ [link] ” returns only product 11 to 15 ordered by the product name. Having the ASP.NET Web API as a REST service returning data is kind of nice but to be efficient on the wire we don’t want to return more data that required only to discard it in the client. As we have seen in a previous post just returning a collection data was real easy. As it turns out changing the service so the client can filter data is almost just as easy. 13: {. The Problem Solver - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - EF4 compared to NHibernate
On the other side, NH is a much a more mature ORM product than EF and has better batching capabilities. It is also more extensible, especially as an open-source product. The end result will be greater parity between the two products going forward, making the choice even more challenging and determined mostly by philosophical and strategic factors. Last week while teaching my new LINQ and Entity Framework course I got a question asking me to compare EF4 with NHibernate. Not having worked extensively with NHibernate, I wasn’t in a position to address the question. Tony and Zuzana's World - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 %>
