Tired of typing in your password every time you push an update to your Windows Azure Website (or github for that matter)?
You can include the password in the remote url:
http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@WEBSITE.scm.azurewebsites.net/WEBSITE.git
To update your remote, you can use:
> git remote set-url azure [url]
To list your remotes, complete the URLs, use:
> git remote -v
I’ve been programming in C# since it came out 10 years ago. After a decade of sloppy code and silly mistakes, I’ve learnt how to use it quite effectively (I think), I can certainly knock out a some code when required.
I’ve had failed attempts to learn other languages including Ruby and Haskell. A combination of a steep learning curve, a high concept count and the thought of “but I can do this in C#” has formed the barrier (perhaps laziness should also be included in the list).
However in the last year I’ve probably written more Node.js than .NET. Why?
There are languages and frameworks out there that will beat the performance. There are cleverer concepts in functional languages that make programs more concise. There are things that Node will never be good for (running desktop UI, perhaps as a database – who knows?). But I think Node has a real strength in being simple, approachable and fun.
Give it a try: Nodejs.org

This is a non-issue for linux and mac users because of SSH keys, is there no way to do this in Windows as well? Other than using Cygwin…

You can only use HTTP for pushing to Azure Websites at the moment. In fact using SSH with cygwin still results in git asking you for a password every time (as far as I can figure out). On Linux it remembers. I think the PowerShell implementation is better (PoshGit) but I’d rather just use the command line.
