Having trouble getting into the Moq? Take a look at the examples found here.

"In my post on Why SOLID Matters, we refactored a small piece of code to be more SOLID.  Granted, it was a simplistic example, but good for illustrating several key points on SOLID.  We will continue using the same code to discuss the benefits of Mocking."

"Microsoft has always been at the forefront of creating great programming languages - Visual Basic, C#, and F# being the most recent examples. [..] Today, we're introducing a new programming language that solves a very specific problem - getting JavaScript development to scale. That language is TypeScript."

"Microsoft StreamInsight consists of a set of programming tools, and most of what is written about StreamInsight is written specifically for programmers. But what if you are, for example, a database administrator or data analyst without an extensive programming background? You're wondering if StreamInsight might be a solution for a problem you have, but the existing documentation leaves you scratching your head."

"While Visual Studio 2012 Professional supports several new technologies (for example, Windows Store apps and the ASP.NET Web API), the Visual Studio team seems to have taken the opportunity to concentrate on creating a "better IDE.""

One of the most common questions we get [..] is of the type: "How do I execute my command when X happens?" [For example,] a particular command needs to be executed whenever a textbox's text changes.

"[..] what about inversion of control containers? There's a lot of confusion around what they do, and why you should use one at all. Every now and then I meet a developer, who says they read all the definitions, introductions and basic examples, and they still don't get why would they use a container."

I recently discovered a very cool project on NuGet - FluentAssertions. This is a really funky little library that vastly improves assertions in your unit tests, whether you are using NUnit or MsTest.

So I tried to give some examples of when NUnit (what I use) is much nicer and more readable then this project. However Diigo comments deletes some special symbols like [ for some reason. But the point was that this article only compares to MsTest, not NUnit which can be quite readable.
