Since the recent PDC09 I have been obsessing over OData and I need to write this post just to get it out of my head. Microsoft has made it obvious that they are taking this protocol very seriously by integrating it into Sharepoint, Visual Studio, RIA Services, PowerPivot, and I expect to see it in […]
I just had a fight with an installation of Sharepoint and it dawned on my what I don’t like about Windows Installer. It is a black box. You click on the file and press next, next, next and magic happens. Personally, I would like to know where files are being put, which registry hives are […]
I have been looking thought the latest release of the WCF REST Starter Kit and there are some interesting things there. Especially the new HttpClient class in the Microsoft.Http namespace. I will not talk about the server side of things because I really don’t have anything nice to say and until I have some constructive […]
I just listened to the Alt.Net podcast where Scott Bellware talks about the state of Alt.Net. Bellware has recently become a major thorn in the side of the Alt.Net community because he is claiming that they have become a social club that is no longer moving towards its original goals.

I had heard conflicting rumours about the significance of the trailing slash, so I decided to go googling. If you explore the first few hits you will find all sorts of discussions about cool urls, the impact on SEO, the performance benefits of avoiding server redirects, amongst other stuff. However, I found nothing that seemed […]
Ayende posted an item a few days ago about a disappointing experience he was having with a software vendor, XHEO. Today the company responded on its blog. I tried to post the following comments on the blog but for some reason my comments have not appeared. Let me summarize how your response could be interpreted: 1) Ayende is misrepresenting […]
Just catching up on some posts in the Yahoo group rest-discuss and there is some great wisdom in there. It is the hypermedia constraint that makes REST as a stylegreater than the sum of its constraints. It is the focal pointand amplifier of all the constraints. – Aristotle Pagaltzis Well-designed URIs are great, but they […]
Scott Hanselman has a post talking about how his cousin’s company ran into some difficulty recently, that Scott believes could be resolved by “net sourcing” certain functionality. I’m not convinced “net sourcing” is the solution to his cousin’s problem. I regularly hear of similar problems where companies lose access to their web site and email because their […]
Jeremy was complaining recently about being given a hard time for not being sufficiently supportive of VB.Net developers in relation to his Structure Map OSS project. As I mentioned in the comments to the post, when .Net first appeared on the scene I believed that VB.Net should be specialized for learning, prototyping and writing quick throw […]
