In today’s agile development teams we require more than the old deployment methods like FTP or WebDeploy where one member had the “Deploy” task on the delivery pipeline. I’ll go as far as to say that an automated integration and deployment strategy is a necessity to any team that wants to focus on what really matters, writing code and building products.by bill-s, 2015-11-28T09:28:36.000Z
As developers, we are often confronted with existing, potentially large codebases that we have never seen before but are asked to make changes in. It can be a class library received from a colleague or a complete application downloaded from GitHub to reuse or extend. However, before we can start making changes to the code, we need to understand the existing flow of the application. Where does it start, what are the public entry points to the different assemblies that are part of the application solution and so on.by bill-s, 2015-11-28T09:32:46.000Z
With the official release of Visual Studio 2015 this summer, code analyzers have started to get a lot of attention. Analyzers allow companies and individuals to enforce a given set of rules within a code base. Broadly speaking there are two kinds of analyzers: · Analyzers that enforce coding styles and best practices. · Analyzers that guide individuals using a third party library.by bill-s, 2015-11-26T05:05:27.000Z
More and more of my TFS consulting customers are interested in Git. If you’re used to a centralized version control system like Team Foundation Server Version Control (TFVC), it can be a little tricky to make the move to Git — not because it’s all that hard — mostly because the terminology is completely different. So, are you a TFVC user who needs to wrap your head around Git? Here’s a little cheat sheet for you.by bill-s, 2015-11-28T09:27:02.000Z
In web applications, <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/gg577609.aspx">Reactive Extensions</a> and <a href="https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS">RxJS</a> can be viewed as "lodash for asynchronous collections", it offers powerful functional constructs and operators to reduce the complexities when web application features scales with the asynchronous nature of web. It also changes programming model from “pull” to “push”, conceptually unifies the data model and behavior across async-array and events, enables effective data transformation with data streams, ultimately simplifies application state management logic with a cleaner approach.by bill-s, 2015-11-28T09:25:53.000Z
At the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference in September, the company introduced the first public beta of iOS 9 (as well as the first beta of OS X El Capitan). Xamarin got access to beta copies of iOS 9 at the same time as every other company, but almost immediately, Xamarin followed up the Apple announcements by making available Xamarin.iOS 9 and Xamarin Studio 6, which adds iOS 9 support.by bill-s, 2015-11-26T05:04:56.000Z
In addition to the well-known tools for Windows, Azure and Web development, Visual Studio 2015 ships several tools and libraries for open source and cross-platform development. This includes GitHub Extension – a Visual Studio add-in for integrating IDE with GitHub to provide an access to your Git repositories and common operations like clone, branch, and pull requests from within of Visual Studio.
