Automocking with JustMock
Auto mocking containers are designed to reduce the friction of keeping unit test beds in sync with the code being tested as systems are updated and evolve over time. Background The Dependency Inversion Principle states: High level modules should not depend upon low level modules. Both should depend upon abstractions. Abstractions should not depend upon details. Details should depend upon abstractions. As more developers follow this and the rest of Robert Martin’s SOLID principles, methods and classes become much smaller with dependent objects injected into them, typically through constructor injection. As additional dependencies are needed (or the code is refactored to improve dependency isolation), the signatures of... -

Is HTML5 hype justified or not?
Is HTML5 "hype" justified or not? We had the same question. We read the available research online, and often found it conflicting. Some analysts are HTML5 bulls; some are bears. Clearly, the Kendo UI team has its own (bullish) opinions on HTML5, but like any good student of the industry, we want to make sure those opinions are in-touch with the heartbeat of the developer community. Not satisfied with the available data, we gathered our own via a new survey that collected responses from more than 4,000 developers! If you want it done right, you've got to do it yourself, they say. Although the... -

Understanding HTTP/304 Responses
Users who are just getting started with Fiddler are often confused about the appearance of HTTP/304 responses in Fiddler’s Web Sessions list as webpages are loaded... A web server sends a HTTP/304 in response to a Conditional Validation request, indicating that the client’s copy of a resource is still valid and that the resource in question was Not Modified since the client cached its copy -

Creating A Great Windows 8 Tile With XAML RadControls for Windows 8
Our new RadControls for Windows 8 offers a number of controls to make your application look and perform better. One of the key features is the new set of HubTiles. These are easy to work with, and greatly simplify the job of creating a terrific tile for your application. Remember, Microsoft’s advice is “Invest in a Great Tile.” Now that’s easy to do. To see how to create great tiles, we’ll create a small application that hosts two tiles: one an image with “peek” text that appears halfway and then all the way over the image, and the second a flipping... -

JustCode Q3 Typing Assistance Improvements
We designed the typing assistance feature of JustCode to increase your productivity by saving you keystrokes without getting in your way. In this release, we enhanced this feature, making it faster and better than ever. Brace positioning When you press enter between opening and closing brace, JustCode positions the braces correctly and inserts an empty line so you can begin typing immediately. Previously, JustCode used the formatting feature to position braces correctly, and this was sometimes slow. The brace positioning no longer relies on the formatter, and the result is extremely fast. Wrap statement in braces When you add an open brace at the beginning of...
