GOTO Fail, A real-life security vulnerability Last month, it was all over the news: a critical security vulnerability in iOS and OSX. One that affected all SSL traffic, rendering its security useless. Now the dust has settled, and we had a look at what the cause was, it turned out all it took was duplicated line containing the code goto fail; This serves as a reminder to all of us on the importance of having automated test coverage for your code. In this case, even having compiler warnings or Resharper would have shown the issue with a mention of "unreachable code detected". Feel free to contact us if you need assistance with automated testing. Read More @ Wired.com

In the past this was hard to accomplish, but with this new style everything should be easier! Have a look at this high-level introduction on what it's all about. Read More

Intro to Inversion of Control Last month, we had a look at Dependency Injection, which is really a specialized version of Inversion of Control.

Keep in mind although you can accomplish Inversion of Control through a Service Locator, the preferred approach is by using Dependency Injection. Read More @ MSDN
