I’ve been working with Raspberry Pi hardware for a while now, but mostly using the tools that are more common in the space. That means that my devices have all been running Raspbian as the OS and that the programs I’ve written for them have all been written in Python. Now that the official release of Windows 10 for IoT is out, I thought I’d give it a whirl and talk about my experience.

In my particular case, I was looking to integrate Visual Studio Online’s TFS with Hipchat, so using a separate service to manage this integration seemed like unnecessary pain. So, I poked around a little in the Visual Studio Online portal and found that it is indeed quite easy to set this up. Here are the steps I followed, more as a reminder to myself for the next time I want to do this, but hopefully it will help others as well.
Continue ReadingI’d like to introduce the [Quartz.Net feature pack][qnfp] project to you. It’s hosted on GitHub and it’s main purpose is to provide some features that are not currently part of Quartz.Net. Traditionally, Quartz.Net has been a direct port of the Java implementation of Quartz and so it doesn’t typically add new functionality that might be useful if it is not part of the Java version.
Continue ReadingThis is the fifth post in the Quartz.Net Listener Tutorial series. In this post we’ll be looking at the listeners that are shipped with the Quartz.Net distribution.
If we search through the Quartz.Net codebase we’ll find two classes that implement the ISchedulerListener interface: SchedulerListenerSupport and BroadcastSchedulerListener. Let’s look at these guys in detail now.
Continue ReadingThis is the fourth post in the Quartz.Net Listener Tutorial series. It’s also the fourth part of the introduction to listeners overview series. You can find Part 1 here, Part 2 here and Part 3 here. Today we’ll be looking at trigger listeners and how to implement one.
As we mentioned in Part 1, trigger listeners get notified of trigger level events. To implement a trigger listener, you need to implement the ITriggerListener interface. Here’s what that interface looks like:
