You’re going to think I’m jumping on the F# bandwagon as well. Well kind of but that’s not the point of this post. The thing is, people ask me all the time: Why should I even care about F#? I have my own C# language that I love, why go through the burden of learning another language, and more importantly, another way of thinking, as functional programming is not only about the language but more conceptual way of thinking.

In this series, I’m going to write about some of the challenges we’ve been facing with DDD. If you want to adapt DDD on .NET stack, this hopefully will be useful for you. Along with concepts I’ll talk about what works (or doesn’t) well with EntityFramework, but most of it will still be useful with other ORMs - or even without one.
Continue readingOne of the four fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programing is Encapsulation which is defined as: “A language mechanism for restricting access to some of the object’s components”. This would help us separate the internal implementation from the publicly accessible surface of the object. The idea is to hide how the object actually work from the outside world, so that we can change the internal without breaking anything as the object still looks the same from the outside.

If you’ve been following me, you know by now that recently I’ve been dedicating my extra time enhancing ServiceInsight application. For those of you living under a rock, it is a part of NServiceBus suite of applications and the focus there is to give you a better tooling so that you’ll have a much better experience using NServiceBus framework. Among the few tools we are building are ServicePulse which is designed for DevOps and ServiceInsight which is targeted mostly for average Joe developers. Continue reading
You may have noticed in NServiceBus release note that there are a few new transports available on v4.0. This means you no longer need to choose MSMQ as your transport and can choose from other well reputed queue engines such as ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ. Continue reading
If you’ve been following this blog, you’ve noticed that it has gone radio silent for some time. The reason was that I was spending most of my time on developing ServiceInsight application. I’m happy to announce that Beta-2 is now available and you can grab it from here. Continue reading
The level of customization that Silverlight comes with - even when you don’t have access to the source code of the control you are using - is simply amazing. Those who experienced WinForms control customization or control centric web frameworks like ASP.NET already know how much trouble they face when customizing a 3rd party control, if there is any customization support at all.

When working on a project using NServiceBus, we came up with an interesting requirement. The messages in the queue should be processed only in certain time frames. The reason is that message handler is making a webservice call and the other party is only available at certain times and system is not even allowed to make a call during the outage window.

While using NServiceBus on the first engagement at Readify, we had an interesting configuration. Development environment has a shared database which runs on a server but when creating the backend application, we’re running NServiceBus on our local developer machines. Continue reading
Logging is easy. We’ve all been there and done that, but when how do you log a request/response object of a webservice, specially when the WSDLs are being changed constantly? The requirements were easy, just log all the property names along with their values. Continue reading
