API DOCUMENT

How to write a document describing a REST Api

Roy Fielding wrote this post recently on the proliferation of APIs that claim to be REST but are breaking some of the fundamental constraints of a REST style architecture. I was most struck by what Roy seems to be saying is required to document a REST Api. That is it.  If you look at most API specs […]

Identi.ca

Witty for Identi.ca. Only the brave need apply.

If you have a Windows machine with VS2008, .Net 3.5, svn and patch on it, you can get the source for Witty here [1] and a patch [2] that will make it run against Identi.ca Enjoy! [1] https://code.google.com/archive/p/wittytwitter/ [2] http://code.google.com/p/wittytwitter/issues/detail?id=147

Identi.ca

Witty can talk to Identi.ca

Witty connected to Identi.ca Due to the nice decoupling of the service API and the user interface in the project Witty it was relatively easy to create a basic service API for Identi.ca. There is still a lot of stuff to get working but at least the basic read and write are functioning. I am hoping […]

HTTP Secure

Security and Http

I did some experimentation today with authentication over http. Using the System.Net.WebClient class I made requests against both a HttpListener based server and WCF service contract using webHttpBinding. With HttpListener I can get Basic authentication and WindowsIntegratedAuthentication working just fine.  With WebHttpBinding I cannot get either.  I am aware that with WebHttpBinding over https you […]

Twitter

Programming Twitter without WCF 3.5

Via Twitter I came across A post showing how easy it is to interface with Twitter using WCF 3.5.  Dariusz hypothesizes that it would be cool to do and proceeds to show how to implement TwitterStatusProxy. All very cool with bindings, channel factories, service contracts and operation contracts. The only problem I see  is that […]

hypermedia

The hypermedia constraint?

At the recent Pnp Summit, during a presentation on Ado.Net Data Services, I asked Scott Hanselman whether it supported the REST “hypermedia constraint”, to which he responded by asking me to clarify my question.  At that point, and at several other times during the conference I realized that although I think I grok the concept, I […]

Rest Consulting

REST consulting

Over the past year we have been working on the next generation of our product.  After 10 years of fat client development we are rebuilding using REST as the foundation of our application architecture. We are fortunate in that our existing applications map very nicely to some of the principles such as “uniform interface” and […]

WCF

Why WPF for LOB applications?

Glenn Block announces some details on P&P’s plans for the new WPF Composite Client. In general this is great news.  Unfortunately it comes one day after I bitched to him about how P&P were neglecting WPF based smart clients 🙂 What specifically I want to comment on is the following quotes Win Forms is the recommended breadth […]
