A project our team (in my employer) has been working on for a good number of months now makes extensive use of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). WCF is nothing really ground-breaking; its significance is that it unifies the various inter-process...

The October 2008 issue of MSDN Magazine features lots of articles about parallelism and concurrency. I guess it's all the rage these days! That's what happens when Moore's Law is no longer directly related to more GHz but more CPU cores instead...

I couldn't believe it: read ScottGu's blog post . Finally, Microsoft is getting *it*. No need to fight it, no need to exhibit their traditional NIH mindset and create their own (as they have demonstrated many times, not only in the .NET platform...

I really like continuous integration . Having come from a company that didn't practice it at all (this was a time I used to regularly work 12 to 16 hours a day), I was so happy when I got into a company that actually practiced it. I found it to be...
