Day 3 of TechEd 2012 - Amsterdam

By
Si s-a terminat si ziua a treia a TechEd 2012. Dupa circa 3 ore petrecute in fiecare zi in Amsterdam RAI, oboseala incepe sa isi faca simtita prezenta. Aceasta a fost ultima zi intreaga. Maine fiind ultima zi, conferinta o sa se termine mult mai devreme.
Astazi am inceput ziua cu sesiunea "Learn Big Data Application Development on Windows Azure". Daca nu ati stiut pana acuma, pe Windows Azure exista si Hadoop, care ne permite sa procesam si sa analizam un volum foarte mare de date.
Dupa aceasta sesiune, mi-a fost dor sa vad putin cod, asa ca m-am dus la "Real World Developer Testing with Visual Studio 2012". A fost o sesiune unde nu s-au prezentat diferite framework-uri pentru a scrie teste. Chiar daca nu tinea de parte de dev, am participat si la sesiunea "Windows 8: BitLocker". S-a discutat despre aceasta noua functionalitate pe Windows 8, care ne permite sa ne luam pe un stick "PC-ul", iar apoi sa il putem rula de pe orice calculator, fara sa ne facem probleme de securitate sau ca putem sa pierdem date.
"Building HTTP Services with ASP.NET Web API" a fost una din sesiunile la care am participat. A fost prezentat Web API de pe ASP.NET destul de detaliat. As fi vrut sa aflu mai multe, dar asta o sa fac cu prima ocazie cand am putin timp liber si o sa sap. Desi a fost o prezentare de nivel 300, din pacate continutul a fost doar de 100.
Ziua de azi s-a sfarsit cu "Creating and Consuming OData Services for Business Applications". In momentul de fata OData Services este extrem de matur si puternic, dar aveti grija Web API vine tare din spate, dar nu o sa fie inlocuit cat de curand de Web API.
Hot tip of the day: In Visua Studio 2012, chiar daca unele functionalitati nu mai sunt asa de usor de accesat, de exemplu sa deschidem Source Control, toate acestea au key shortcuts deja definite.
Cel mai mult am savurat prima sesiune si am fost impresionat de ce putem face cu Hadoop pe Windows Azure. Maine ne luam la revedere de la TechEd 2012 si de la Amsterdam :(

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

By
After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(...

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

Today blog post will be started with the following error when running DB tests on the CI machine: threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The Entity Framework provider type 'System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded.

Navigating Cloud Strategy after Azure Central US Region Outage

By
 Looking back, July 19, 2024, was challenging for customers using Microsoft Azure or Windows machines. Two major outages affected customers using CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Azure computation resources in the Central US. These two outages affected many people and put many businesses on pause for a few hours or even days. The overlap of these two issues was a nightmare for travellers. In addition to blue screens in the airport terminals, they could not get additional information from the airport website, airline personnel, or the support line because they were affected by the outage in the Central US region or the CrowdStrike outage.   But what happened in reality? A faulty CrowdStrike update affected Windows computers globally, from airports and healthcare to small businesses, affecting over 8.5m computers. Even if the Falson Sensor software defect was identified and a fix deployed shortly after, the recovery took longer. In parallel with CrowdStrike, Microsoft provi...
