Code, Camera, and Kilometers

SOAP 1.1 Fault I’ve spent some time recently working with SOAP 1.1 <faultcode> and wanted to compress some of that research into one place where I could find it again in future.

TL;DR Hand crafting an architect and then manually pushing the cloud is not repeatable, you want to be able to come back to it in the future without having to remember commands or figure out what your past self intended to do. Capturing architecture design in Terraform as code is a really effective way to codify a design and integrating that into Maven means that it can be deployed in a single click or as part of a continuous delivery pipeline....

Just writing a test to prove that everything is groovy is not enough. One day you, or another developer may want to add more functionality and it is your unit tests that show what it is capable of. That said I believe the major goal of any unit test is to clearly express what you code can do....

I found out that the local orienteering group, The Essex Stragglers, were organising an event in my village so I jumped at the chance to find out more. I’ve been to lots of running events and the format is pretty simple; turn up, register, get race number, pin on vest and then run....
