I recently took and passed the Microsoft exam MCSD 70-480 “Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3”.
However, this exam is relatively new as of early 2013, and the official book wasn’t out yet when I first published this blog post. It is now available for purchase, as of Spring 2013.
To prepare for the exam, you may refer to the following online resources:
My first technical post in this blog involves a solution that my team and I implemented at work recently. The project is a .NET Web project in Visual Studio 2012.
The Problem:
Each developer on the team has a personal copy of the database for a web application. How will you store each connection string for each developer, without revealing your login information to others?
A Path to a Solution:
(A) Each developer could place their connection string in the Web.config file, without checking in their file. This is not a good choice, because they will eventually need to make other changes to the Web.config file and would have to remember to revert the connection string before each check-in. If they accidentally check in the file with their connection string, they would be sharing it with everyone.
Welcome to WakeUpAndCode.com! In this blog, I will post tips and tricks about the world of Microsoft .NET development, and related technologies.
Stay tuned for more!
