TeamCity is a very nice tool that I use at home. Unfortunately the free license allows up to 20 configurations. That’s why I’m experimenting also with another free tool, CruiseControl. It’s definitely not as easy as TeamCity, you have to edit (which means learn) an XML file that the server picks up. In general, it probably supports what TeamCity supports, but you have to make everything yourself with a lot of work. Then again, it’s completely free.

When you have a web application that stores data in it’s App_Data folder, at some point you’ll want to synchronize the development environment(s) with the live environment. This way your development machine will have the latest live data. This is a task that can be achieved with git.

Some random steps on getting my Mac up to speed with Mono development.

Short after releasing version 1.1.0, a new bug-fix version is been released.

A new version for w3c-nant was released today. What is new in this version:

I have several test fixtures (test classes) written in NUnit that verify my data layer works against a live database (MSSQL). By live I mean that there is no mocking or anything like that - that’s for the higher layers where I mock the data layer.

Ένα κακό που έχει το πρωινό commute στη δουλειά είναι ότι το μυαλό φεύγει και πετάει, ειδικά αν δεν έχεις μαζί κάτι να διαβάζεις ή κάτι να ακούς.

I added a new NAnt task in the w3c-nant library to allow FTP uploads. Using the same fileset mechanism as the copy task, you can create powerful scripts to automate deploying in a remote FTP server. Or at least that’s what I’m using it for!
