In This Issue Editor's Note with Jeff Cogswell
Jeff CogswellUnit Testing in .NET

Welcome!

Unit testing is one of those things that we all know we have to do. Unit testing isn't easy. Quality Assurance is one of the most important aspects of software development. While people might only get a little frustrated if our software lacks a particular feature, they're less forgiving when they encounter a bug. For example, if something goes wrong in the user interface, that could be the kiss of death, losing the customer for good. The programmer is usually responsible for unit testing, where you test your code before committing it to the project. But how do you unit test in .NET? Our newest author, Brian Hunter, has the answers. Check out this week's article on testing. It'll open your eyes to some .NET features you might not even know existed.

In news this week, Microsoft has announced its Cloud platform, called Azure. eWEEK's Clint Boulton has an article this week on the announcement. Check out his article, but then head over to my MSDev blog here on DevSource to get my take on it. For those of us who develop for Microsoft products, this is a pretty big announcement, even if, as Clint suggests, some people seemed unfazed by it.

And guess what! Windows 7 is coming. eWEEK's Darryl Taft got to see a demo of a pre-Beta version of it. See what he has to say about it.

In the blogging world, Julia has been busy! In fact, so busy she wasn't able to make the PDC conference this year. She has been exploring Microsoft's DevLabs, as well as seeing some pretty impressive Silverlight work.

See you there,

Jeff
