New Release: iron-term-ansicolor 0.0.2 for IronRuby

Will — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 03:02:51 +0000

Tonight, I released version 0.0.2 of iron-term-ansicolor. As you may recall, iron-term-ansicolor makes use of the term-ansicolor library and the .Net base class library to provide colored console output for IronRuby. Users of RSpec and Cucumber on IronRuby should now have much cleaner colored output, thanks to Danny Coates, who found a better way to parse the ANSI control codes out so that the appropriate calls to Console.ForegroundColor and Console.BackgroundColor.

Installation is a simple

1	igem install iron-term-ansicolor

Cucumber has made use of iron-term-ansicolor on IronRuby since the first release of this library. I’m not sure what it would take to include automatic support for RSpec, but I’m sure it would probably be as simple as it was to add it to Cucumber.

The source is available on github. Please report any issues using the issue tracker there.

Enjoy!

Unit Testing ASP.Net?

Will — Mon, 18 May 2009 19:02:28 +0000

Unit Testing ASP.NET? ASP.NET unit testing has never been this easy.

Typemock is launching a new product for ASP.NET developers – the ASP.NET Bundle – and for the launch will be giving out FREE licenses to bloggers and their readers.

The ASP.NET Bundle is the ultimate ASP.NET unit testing solution, and offers both Typemock Isolator, a unit test tool and Ivonna, the Isolator add-on for ASP.NET unit testing, for a bargain price.

Typemock Isolator is a leading .NET unit testing tool (C# and VB.NET) for many ‘hard to test’ technologies such as SharePoint, ASP.NET, MVC, WCF, WPF, Silverlight and more. Note that for unit testing Silverlight there is an open source Isolator add-on called SilverUnit.

The first 60 bloggers who will blog this text in their blog and tell us about it, will get a Free Isolator ASP.NET Bundle license (Typemock Isolator + Ivonna). If you post this in an ASP.NET dedicated blog, you’ll get a license automatically (even if more than 60 submit) during the first week of this announcement.

Also 8 bloggers will get an additional 2 licenses (each) to give away to their readers / friends.

Go ahead, click the following link for more information on how to get your free license.

Hello world!

Ok, so I’m finally blogging again. Why? A SharePoint contractor at my office today asked me if I had written up a blog post about the SharePoint Master Page I had created to match the branding of my company’s web site (which I also deisgned and implemented). So, I intend to use my blog as a platform for showcasing this, and other, works of mine.

So, stay tuned not only for blog posts, but also full-blown articles on web development, web design, and pretty much anything else that interrests me.
