I’ve been writing an alternative to the MVC routing mechanism for ASP.NET Web API based on prior approaches that I have worked with. I’ll blog more about that in the future. Part of my motivation for writing this new router was because I didn’t know how to do what I wanted to do with MVC Routing and […]
Much of my career has been spent with me as the most senior developer on my team. It has its pros and cons, I have learned how to figure stuff out on my own, but I have had to re-make many mistakes that I could have avoided. However, one of the most memorable pieces of […]
Consider your application has feature A and feature B, and in order to implement each of these features you need to invoke functions X, Y, Z: The gods of DRY would proclaim that you should create a new function to encapsulate the behaviour of X,Y,Z. However, I would argue that unless that group of functions […]
There have been a number of attempts to define a maturity model for building RESTful services.

Along with the latest release of WCF Web API there was a updated version of HTTPClient . With it came a bunch of breaking changes, most notably, there are no more Sync methods for doing HTTP requests. This is a change that brings consistency with Microsoft’s new policy that all APIs that take more than 30ms (or is it […]
It appears I need to go on vacation more often. I seem to get more chance to experiment. One of my first discussions about RACK was with Mike Kelly where he suggested a simple solution to implementing HEAD across an API. Simply use a RACK application to convert a HEAD request to a GET and then when […]
So there I was, sitting at my PC hunting some bugs when up pops John Sheehan on IM and starts asking me questions about OPTIONS and TRACE http methods. I pretty much always have the HTTP spec close at hand so I think I was able to at least fake some prior knowledge in attempting to answer […]
