Today just a quick tip, which may save you some time. If you want to connect to virtual machine with Windows 10 Technical Preview, make sure that you include DNS name in user name field. So instead of default combination of username and password

One of the features I miss the most in AngularJS is ability to easy unsubscribe event handlers. There is no convenience function opposed to $on, so in order to unsubscribe event, we have to call method returned by $on function

A while ago I started playing around a bit with JavaScript on Windows Phone. I wanted to create very simple app using AngularJS but of course I also had to use some WinJS features (for integration with device ). One of the things I needed to implement was authentication/authorization using OAuth. According to WinJS documentation it should be pretty straightforward - just use Windows.Security.Authentication.Web.WebAuthenticationBroker.authenticateAndContinue method with appropriate URLs.

I consider myself as a quite experienced user of Nhibernate, that is why I decided to check what is going on on the other side of barricade and started playing with Entity Framework. I followed the steps of some tutorial and I stuck at the very beginning of it.

The simplest way of measuring whether my changes improved the performance or not, is simply measure the execution time of given query (I know that this is not the best way of doing that, but let’s leave aside execution plans for now). However measuring time of single executin is not very meaningfull. Thats why I like execute query multiple times by using this simple trick

Today, working on a new feature for my pet project, I realized that I have to notify the view, that all properties in view model have changed. The most obvious way to achieve that would, of course be to rise PropertyChange event a bunch of times.
