Another quickie post. As I'm working through powershell for my IaC I saw that AppConfig can access secrets stored in KeyVault. This means I get to put my secrets into a keyvault... and then just reference the keyvault! It's like the AppSettings can reference keyvault. This should be pretty sweet.…
With my original Mtg Discovery site (mtgdiscovery.com) I looked into using Azure B2C for auth... HAHAHAHA... No. It was faster/easier to roll my own JWT creation/validation. Pretty messed up when roll your own is easier. I'm creating V2 of the site. That's what we do. Second time…
Today I was introduced to a new kata - The Expense Report! https://github.com/christianhujer/expensereport Being in the corporate world, sounds like a good kata to give a go. I'll be doing it in C#, shocker, I know. The process of the kata is laid out as follow…
Still Green; Keep Refactoring Let's take another look at Money; there's eight methods. Five of these methods delegate the work to another object, "I know what I want, you know how to do it". The remaining three don't. To make "Similar things more similar" we have to consider refactoring these…
GET TO THE PRIMITIVE While we very much want to avoid data flowing through our system, sometimes we need them. Sometimes we have to get back to a primitive type. This happens at the boundaries of our system. When our code passes to some other code, we probably have to…
No Primitives - Again Since we're poking around the ExchangeRates area, one thing has stood out to me. public interface IExchangeRateTo { double To(Currency currency); } This interface has a method that returns a double... a Primitive. That's ... Nooooooo! What can we do to fix this? Clearly a type of somekind.…
BONUS TECHNIQUES Let's look at some bonus techniques I use when working in projects. * PrivateCtor - Utility class to access private constructors * No Primitives - Exchange Rate returns a double * MicroObjects - We haven't hit the size limit yet; let's explore that. * ToSystemType - Not mentioned during this, but a…
No Primitives I'm VERY against primitives' being passed around in a system. As soon as I started putting in hard coded strings of the currency I knew it'd have to be extracted out into something that's not a primitive. I didn't do this earlier because it wasn't being asked for…
