...adding some major new features to DeploymentWang. First up is a configuration sub-system - key features are spreadsheet driven (building on LinqToExcel capability currently in DeploymentWang) and runtime updatable including across multiple applications and servers using distributed caching (will probably ship with plugins to Velocity & SharedCache); no more application restarts to pick up web/app.config changes, hooray! The second new feature will be an entire application health monitoring subsystem with a plugin architecture for writing custom health checks pertinent to your application. Maybe this will be in a new project, "MonitorWang"...we'll see. Both of these have come about from experience learnt during the successful delivery of my latest project, Tesco Entertainment
Random thoughts on software development & the interweb, home automation, media centres & gadgets and other interesting stuff...well interesting to me anyway
