Day 3 of TechEd 2012 - Amsterdam

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 :(

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Can User Technical Profile Influence AI Architecture Decisions?

In the last few days, I ran a small experiment on Devin/Windsurf/Cascade, BMAD, and LLM-based architecture decisions. The initial concern was simple: if an AI coding assistant knows something about the user, for example, that the user is a Java developer or a .NET developer, can this information influence the architecture and technology stack that the AI will propose? This question is important because many companies are starting to use AI tools not only for coding but also for product discovery, architecture, documentation, and technical decision-making. If the AI is influenced by the developer's personal profile, the result may not be fully neutral. It may look like a business or architecture decision, but in reality, it may be partially shaped by the context of the person using the tool. The test was done using BMAD with Devin/Windsurf/Cascade. The scenario was a unified field service operations platform. The task was to let BMAD refine the product, define the architecture and s...

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. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information. at System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DependencyResolution.ProviderServicesFactory.GetInstance(String providerTypeName, String providerInvariantName) This error happened only on the Continuous Integration machine. On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see...
