As promised in the last installment of this series, this post will focus upon providing some of the C# implementation details for the index/data table interface we defined for DynamoDB. This post will only cover through defining the abstract class definition for our index/data table model. For following along with the actual files, you can… Continue reading Consistent Data Interface (Part III)

As promised in the last installment of this post, I will be providing a demonstration of constraining a problem through generic interfaces. This post will focus upon this in terms of C#, .NET 3.1 and AWS’s DynamoDB. As I was recently reading through the DynamoDB documentation and working off the examples, it occurred to me… Continue reading Consistent Data Interface (Part II)
