I want to make a case for microservices. I think they represent something really powerful, in a similar way that Go represents something powerful. But I’m not going to make a technical case. Because, on technical grounds, microservices are pretty crummy.by bill-s, 2015-12-12T09:08:39.000Z
Azure Service Fabric offers two modes of operation: stateful and stateless. Both implementations allow for microservice-style application development. This tutorial focuses on building a simple, stateful microservice; that is, a microservice that maintains a degree of state between calls such that underlying objects retain their properties’ state after a client applies changes to the object.by bill-s, 2015-12-10T21:59:49.000Z

This week I have had two questions that involved the need to create a load test plugin. In the latest scenario the person wanted Cloud-based load test to ramp up the user count randomly. Yes plugins work the same for both on-premises and Cloud-based load testing.

Windows Live Writer has been turning blogging up to 11 since 2007, but since 2012 things have been a bit quiet with the application itself. However over the past few months I have had the pleasure working with a very pasionate group of engineers volunteering their time to ensure that Live Writer has a sustainable future. I'm pleased to announce that today the .NET Foundation welcomes a new project - Open Live Writer.by bill-s, 2015-12-12T19:46:04.000Z
When creating a web app, there are so many questions to consider. How are you going to manage security? What about encryption? Authentication? Authorization? Administration? Implementing the various aspects of a real-world application can be challenging. Fortunately, Django makes it much easier! This back-end web development framework allows you to focus on what your application needs to do rather than on how everything is going to work behind the scenes.by bill-s, 2015-12-12T19:40:45.000Z

The question of “Where do I start?” can be confusing if you’ve never studied for or taken a Microsoft Certification exam before.
