Setting up continuous integration from GitHub to NuGet using MyGet

It's been a while since my last blog post so I decided to dust of my good ol' Blogger account and get to it. I recently relocated from sunny South Africa to begin my brand new career in the beautiful Netherlands and I must say that I'm absolutely loving it!

My first task was to implement continuous integration on one of the (soon to be) open source projects to deliver packages on NuGet. After finding plenty of resources on the web about TeamCity, AppHarbour and Octopus Deploy, I finally decided on using MyGet which delivers a NuGet-as-a-Service experience.

Talking basic F#

In this episode of GeekFest I talk to F# enthusiast Huw Simpson about the basics of F#. He gives us the run down on why functional programming is becoming the new kid on the block and how easy it is to start learning a new language like F#.

GeekFest #2 - Web API Proxies with WebApiProxy

In this second installment of GeekFest we explore a little project called WebApiProxy I've been working on that allows us to create WCF-like proxies for ASP.NET Web API in JavaScript and C#

Introducing WebApiProxy: Providing JavaScript & C# proxies with Intellisense including documentation for ASP.NET Web API

WebApiProxy extends your ASP.NET Web API service with a proxy endpoint, providing a ready-to-use JavaScript client as well as metadata, exposing the types used in the service. If you are using the documentation provider from ASP.NET Web API Help Pages, the usage documentation is also included inside the metadata, giving the client-side developer a rich experience with Intellisense.

This release has been updated and includes much more great features. Read more on the update here.

Clouds in my CoffeeScript

The "mystery language" CoffeeScript has been around for about 5 years now and I only recently started to play around in it. Like TypeScript, I must add that it's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's smooth sailing from there. I've promised myself to keep this short and sweet, so I decided to write an article about calling a Windows Azure Mobile Service (WAMS) from CoffeeScript.
