What is "Accelerator for websites"?
Using it for my blog, and planning to use for my company's site soon. We'll have 2-3 web roles, SQL Azure, and possibly 2 worker roles in the future. Table storage for logging, and blob storage for cached versions of…
I also skip the "objectives" section when I read resumes.
I agree, the assertion that you shouldn't test is absurd. For example, TDD can save you time by catching bugs for you. When Iv'e worked on apps without tests, I have to test manually each time I make a build, which gets…
