Team Foundation Server 2012 build notification using ASP.Net Web API Part 2
In my previous blog post I wrote about how to get information about a build, the problem with that code was that the code only returned the user who requested the build, not the user who had checked-in a changeset that failed the build. So this blog post will cover that part.

Team Foundation Server 2012 build notification using ASP.Net Web API
For the last three years I have helped a financial company with a business critical financial system. I have the role as an architect and coach when it comes to system design. I also spend times to make the team work more efficiently, to release new features with high quality, and maintainable code faster. So the last months I have spent a lot of time with a Deployment Process, to see how we can use Continuous Delivery. We use Visual Studio 2012 and Team Foundation Server 2012 (TFS) as our configuration system. We use gated check-ins (The goal is to use branch by abstractions, so the team work against one mainline only, to remove the "merge hell"). Even if we use gated check-ins we had to disable some acceptance tests because the time it takes for them to run. Instead we use a build that runs at lunch time and one at the night to include the acceptance tests (Those needs to be observed by the team). So far TFS have worked perfect, both for Gated check-in and Continuous Integration for the mainline. We also use TFS for a "push deployment" to our internal test and UAT environment. Everything is automated. We haven't yet "enable" the "push-deploy" against our production environment yet.

Using Razor engine together with Asp.Net Web API to create a Hypermedia API
This blog post is created just for fun, and it's will be about how we can use Razor to create a Hypermedia API using XML as a hypermedia for a "Maze game" inspired from the book "Building Hypermedia APIs with HTML5 and Node", Mike Amundsen. Only the server-side API is covered in this blog post, so no Client.
