Citrix is not my expertise. I learned this the hard way. (= reading support) To gain access to a Citrix environment from Windows 8.1 follow the steps below.

Roy Osherove has written a book called “Art of unit testing”. It’s a good read when starting with unit testing. The website called artofunittesting.com contains even more information.
Below I want to share a basic principle about unit testing I’ve adopted from Roy.
In more detail:
The first slide is from a video you can find here.

One of the reasons I started this blog was to share my (work) experience and give back to the internet. On my last project I migrated WCF services to be hosted in Windows Azure. With the right structure in place this was shockingly easy.
The services are designed with three layers:
Every layer is defined in an interface and contains a factory method to create the next layer. By making this factory method virtual the Azure implementation only needs to overwrite that and you’re done.
The data in Azure will be stored in Table storage. To access it I need to write the TableServiceEntity. The data access layer will use that with an CloudTableClient and TableServiceContext. Now my service is Azure ready.
In the design above you see the inheritance (horizontal) and the call hierarchy (vertical). Most of the work goes in the AzureDataAccess, because it does not inherit and all DataAccessContract implementation code must be written.
Also read my post about code generation for the design of the service.

My work as a recruited developer changes almost every month. I like challenges and sharing the solutions with others.
I’m focussed on the Microsoft .NET framework and try to write unit tests when I develop my solutions. Not every developer I’ve worked with shares my necessity for unit tests and I’ve made it my task to convince them otherwise.
On my blog I’ll mostly post about my work, but expect an occasional home project, productivity tip and tooling review. That is my way of giving back to the internet for all the information it has given to me.
For 2014 I hope to participate in a big Windows Azure project. That would give me enough to write about on this blog. We’ll see what comes my way.

Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 17,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 6 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
