Servers and Developer machines. Distributed or central. Distributed version control is more common place now and you go...

An attempt to cache interesting things I experience . Saturday, March 16, 2013. Simplifying design with Domain Events. Following post notes down how I used the concept of Domain Events to refactor the message processing component of an Enterprise Web Application. The outcome was great where the main achievements was a code base which was easier to maintain. The 'All hell break loose' kind of classes were gone, and instead a compact, self-explanatory, rich set of new classes were born. The following set o...

An attempt to cache interesting things I experience . Monday, November 24, 2014. Not your fathers' Microsoft. I’m sure anyone who heard recent Microsoft Announcements around .Net (their flagship development platform) is either hyper excited or super suspicious. Microsoft open sourced .Net. And also committing to make it run on Linux. This is so far fetched from Microsoft so many people have known so far. Good Ol’ Microsoft (Prior to 2010). Future is here (2014 - Onwards).

An attempt to cache interesting things I experience . Wednesday, July 08, 2015. Integration Testing - Real World Challenges. Enterprise applications often have lots of integration with external systems, systems that are often out of your control.

http://www.uchithar.net/2014/08/mercurial-queues-to-manage-spikes.html
An attempt to cache interesting things I experience . Tuesday, August 19, 2014. Mercurial Queues to manage 'Spikes'. We all do some kind of R and D on code. Sometimes it’s purely for learning purposes whilst sometimes it’s to try something new on an existing code base. I call the second exercise a ‘Spike’. Would you revert all the changes? Or do you painstakingly try to identify changes that are still useful and get rid of the rest? But with version control you wouldn’t get this problem, right? MQ also p...

Application level caching is still used when you want to achieve high availability and response time. There are various techniques of achieving this and below is the technique used by an application that I work with currently. Click to view large image).
