PDC 2009 – Microsoft Technology Overview Code

November 23 2009

At the PDC last week I presented a revamped version of my massive one-day presentation covering language trends, data access technologies, windows and web development, WCF and workflow, “Dublin” (now App Fabric), identity and cloud computing with Azure. Whew! Always a ton of work getting this presentation updated but it is a ton… read more

Microsoft Technology Roadmap at PDC in LA

August 16 2009

A few short months after my EU tour (see previous blog post) I will be delivering a variation of my technology roadmap (once again, affectionately known as the technology avalanche) at the PDC in November 2009. You can bet even in that two short months I will have updated the seminar once again,… read more

Survive the Technology Avalanche - 2009 EU Tour

August 16 2009

A few years ago I brought my Microsoft Technology Roadmap - affectionately known as the Technology Avalanche - to 5 countries in the EU. I thought there were a lot of technologies to cover then...but here we are two years later and there is no shortage of new technologies to talk about and… read more

WCF Proxy Generator - Significant Updates

July 11 2009

Thanks to a customer of mine (thank you Christoph!) some major improvements have been made to the ExceptionHandlingProxyBase type. Plus, a duplex version now exists. Nothing like using the code in production to work through the real limitations. I knew I had to add a lot of these things, but this week I… read more

Exception Handling Proxy - eating your own dog food

July 02 2009

The cool thing about creating an add-in for my exception handling proxy is that now it makes it easier for me to use it all the time when I create sample projects. Before, I would have to copy and paste the base type and hand-build the proxy, and this just wasn't realistic. I'm… read more

Using FindBySubjectDistinguishedName

July 01 2009

I have never run into this problem before, but I just realized that in WCF applications when I provide a certificate reference with FindBySubjectName - it can fail if you have two similarly named (not identical) certificates. I don't think this is by design, it has to be a bug, but I found… read more

Giving WPF Some Love

June 24 2009

If you know where my technology focus lies you might be surprised to see the term WPF in my blog...I know, it's weird. But not really! You see I have been working on a rather large project to give WPF some love as it relates to my world - which means WCF, federated… read more

June 23 2009

I just returned from Oslo, Norway from the annual NDC. This was my first time speaking there but it was a really great venue in a stadium setup - and as always the organizers at Program Utvikling did a fantastic job....I will definitely go back! Great conference! As promised here are links… read more

Updating ACS Samples for the March CTP

April 18 2009

A new CTP was released for .NET Services in March and as I update my Access Control Service (ACS) samples to reflect changes I thought I might post the relevant changes here to save all 5 of you devoted blog readers some time. First off, the ACS has a new certificate, which… read more

Microsoft Technology Roadmap Links and Resources

April 17 2009

Well, almost immediately following the tutorials I delivered at SD West and Dev Connections in March, many of the CTPs that I discussed were updated...and so I had to find some time to get my docs updated to reflect the changes. I have finally pulled it together. This post will provide machine setup… read more

The Open Cloud Manifesto - what I think...

March 31 2009

The Open Cloud Manifesto is live at http://www.opencloudmanifesto.org. I wrote my opinion of it prior to its release based on some concerns that were already voiced in the community. Now, I get to comment on the real thing. On the one hand, the manifest is described as trying to bring about a core… read more

The list is below, with links to code samples and other related content. Don't forget to check the readme for some of these downloads since it… read more

What happened to MicrosoftAjaxDataService.js?

March 28 2009

Recently, I discovered that my code samples using MicrosoftAjaxDataService.js no longer worked on my new machine. I had assumed that .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 included the new AJAX-y things I was using before it - that were part of ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions. I was wrong...but as I searched around I could only find… read more
