-
We've been working for the past few days on a mesh4x adapter that can synchronize a potentially big KML file at a very granular level (styles, placemarks, folders, etc.) so that you can collaboratively edit these large files without having to resolve spurious "conflicts".

A practical example on how to mock static classes without TypeMock
-

My friend Pablo Cibraro proves how you can quite easily make your implementations that depend on such static contexts testable without resorting to black-magic voodoo TypeMock kind of stuff. Any .NET developer can trivially introduce an indirection to make their classes testable, even if they depend on static classes. ...
