Published August 19th, 2010 Under Database, Open Source Tools | Leave a Comment
The buzz is on, everyone is talking about those NoSQL databases, but what ARE they? Do I really need to SQL behind? In this session, we will explore key / value databases, document databases, graph databases and column family databases. Their strong and weak points, and when you should use them. We will also discuss the options available for the .NET community on the NoSQL. In particular, we will look at Rhino DHT and Raven DB, two NoSQL databases on the .NET platform.

Interaction Based Testing with Rhino Mocks
Published August 28th, 2009 Under Open Source Tools, Software Testing | 1 Comment
Beyond the simplest scenarios, all objects had collaborators that they work with. This flies in the face of testing objects in isolation. This is the problem that mock objects were created to solve. In this talk you will learn what mock objects are, how to utilize them and best practices on when / how to utilize them. Rhino Mocks is a mock objects framework for .Net whose core goals are to let the developer rely on the compiler work well with refactoring tools.

In this episode we are going to continue our series on learning how to use an isolation framework (Rhino Mocks) to help create simpler and more reliable unit tests. We will focus our learning this time around on the various ways you can setup and validate expectations on your stubs/fakes.
