Adnan Masood, a Machine Learning Phd's musings on Life, Technology, Research & Development
I recently have joined Project Euler, introduced through a friend an co-worker Linh Vu. A simpler, more mathematics oriented top coder (for the TC fans out there), Project Euler is defined as "a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve." The problems increase in the level of complexity…
SoCal codecamp Jan 28th - 29th is only couple of weeks away. Like always, there is a great list of sessions and speakers. I’ll be presenting on AppFabric; Being a technical editor for an upcoming book on AppFabric, it’s a great opportunity for me to test out the specific interests around this area. Following is the…
ASP.NET MVC is the Microsoft implementation of Model View Controller design pattern for their web platform. It provides a clean separation of concerns, promotes decoupling between code and UI and supports test driven development practices which are hard to follow in a UI driven environment such as web forms. Developers often find themselves in the…
Infer.NET is a framework developed by Microsoft research for running Bayesian inference in graphical models and for probabilistic programming. Along with tutorials and examples, Infer.NET 2.4 beta 2 which was recently made avaialble (17th Dec 2010) can be downloaded from here. In this example we explore the similar concept as described in the infer.net bayes point machine tutorial…
Are you A) a Scientist/researcher/student/ looking for the right enterprise platform for your next big scientific project? B) a developer/architect who wants to learn cloud computing with windows Azure and would like to go beyond the Hello World Apps? C) an hobbyist interested in Stanford's Folding@home distributed computing project and see it's implementation D)…
Getting started with Mock Objects can be a bit daunting task if you are newly entering the uncharted waters of TLA's i.e. TDD (test driven development). It quickly gets confusing to decide when to use Mock objects, the merit and need to use them and also how do they integrate with your testing strategy. Let…
Here is a short step by step guide on how to get your WCF service to perform Message and Transport level security over SSL with user name and password. I ran into this recently and thought should document it along with source code to provide reference for the rest of us. 1. If your development…
