If you’re using Castle Windsor as your IoC container, the StartableFacility is great simple way to start up services like timers, socket listeners, etc that run for the duration of your application and require two-step initialization — i.e., constructing them then starting them. All you have to do is implement an IStartable interface, with a [...]

This works because SVN and .NET both use integers for their version numbers. Git, on the other hand, uses a 40-character SHA-1 string as a [...]

If two users must not share the same email address or Facebook ID, you cannot simply add a unique constraint for it. However, Raven DB does guarantee uniqueness in one place: each [...]
Say you you have some NUnit/xUnit/Mspec tests that require a live Raven DB instance. Specifically: You do not want your test to be affected by any existing documents, so ideally the Raven DB database would be completely empty. Your test may span multiple document sessions, so doing it all within a single transaction and rolling [...]
Here is a contrived example of a common SOLID violation you might see. Can you spot it? Except in trivially simple cases, there should always be a class boundary when shifting context from coordinating a collection versus performing actions on a single object. The class above is violating this rule — it knows how to [...]
