M Programming Language with Paul Vick
Published July 13th, 2010 Under Coding, Database | Leave a Comment
Paul Vick describes the purpose and concepts of the M Programming Language. The Microsoft code name “M” language is a declarative language for working with data and building domain models. “M” lets users write down how they want to structure and query their data using a textual syntax that is convenient to both author and reader. “M” does not mandate how data is stored or accessed, nor does it mandate a specific implementation technology. Rather, “M” is designed to allow users to write down what they want from their data without having to specify how those requirements are met by a specific technology or platform.

Testing techniques for Google App Engine
Published July 7th, 2010 Under Services, Software Testing | Leave a Comment
Google App Engine is designed to help developers more easily create and manage scalable web applications. But what about testing? We typically write tests under the assumption that our development stack closely resembles our production stack, so what do we do when our target environment only lives in the cloud? In this talk, we will highlight the key differences between typical testing techniques and Google App Engine testing techniques. We will also present concrete strategies for testing against local and cloud-based implementations of App Engine services like the datastore and the task queue. Finally, we will explain how to use App Engine as a highly parallel test harness that runs existing test suites without modification.
