    When packaging Windows Azure solution from within Visual Studio .NET 2010, CSPACK is generating cspackproperties file behind the scenes, defaulting to .NET 3.5 Framework. I missed that part when going over the documentation and had to go through the worker role that can’t starts and no error is logged, since worker never loads.

  • Backbone.js, NServiceBus, and Cloud Hosting

    In the past I have always created on premises solutions for web applications that have mostly based on the server side code responsible for front UI and backend code, with a little to none client side code (usually called “scripting” with intention that it is not really a code), predominant validation on the server side with some duplication on the client. Technology of choice was ASP.NET MVC. When choice was not mine, sometime it would be ASP.NET WebForms. Services would be created using WCF, without auto-generated proxies.
