Great introduction to BDD

BDD (Behavior Driven Development) is the next natural evolvement from TDD. And since I am now converted to TDD I thought I’d look into BDD.

Well – after scanning the net for a while I finally found a introduction that I could understand. Here it is:http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd

From what I understand some colleagues implemented BDD with NUnit. You can read about it here (in Swedish I am afraid), and also get some code that can help you create some documentation á la agiledox.

OK – the next thing to chew off… BDD looks cool.

[UPDATED]
I have now read some stuff about BDD and Dan North (who wrote the article above) is, to my understanding, the father of BDD and that article is actually the birth of the subject. Pretty good introduction.

Here is a video that has some nice examples and expand on the subject

Windows Azure

I don't know that much about Azure... yet. But I am quite sure that is will be more and more important in the future.

From what I understand now it's the Microsoft platform for development of application that uses services "in the cloud", as you should say these days. Behind the buzzwords you'll find a bunch of services that can be reached over the internet that you can take advantage of. These includes storage, logging and other low level services but also Microsoft Live Services and CRM services etc.

The whole idea, I guess, is that given these services in place you can much faster get up and running.

OK - sounds like an good idea... Let's see it in action. Here are some videos.

Convert any file-format into PDF

This service is really great when you get one of those files that you don't know how or have the program to read. In my case it was a .pub file (Microsoft Publisher).

Now you don't have to download any readers... And for up to 6 MB it's free.

It's been done! It's solved! I don't know how but it is...
