Let’s face it. NetMsmq is the bastard child amongst the WCF bindings. Many WCF developers just resort to the default Request/Response paradigm and the BasicHttpBinding or WsHttpBinding. Of course, queuing and One-Way Asynchronous Messaging can be a powerful instrument in your service designs. But many...

I worked hard with my Tech Lead to build a version of the UI prototype we are showing for our new project. I talked about building it in HTML5 and CSS3 and how pleased we were with that. This week, the working hard refers to we built a whole another version with ASP.NET MVC 3 and the Entity Framework...

Welcome to my new HTML5/CSS3/JQuery category. Not only do I believe that these technologies represent the present and future of Web Development, but also as a way to do cross-platform (cross-device) Mobile device UI development.

I wanted to get out ahead of this and install Windows8 and investigate programming for it so I could write about it here. I started a new category on the blog here.

Wow! Last post was June 4th on Windows 8th. I talked then about the Windows 8 UI and the HTML5/Javascript/CSS3 interface and, that indeed seems like a lot of people are achieving platform independence (more on that soon).

Some time ago, and I am sure I blogged about it, I wrote with approval Glenn Block started to engage the community with the first drop of the Web APIs for WCF. This is far past the previous work done in WCF 3.5 REST stack work as well as the REST starter kit. I think this is vital as it’s increasingly...

At work , I am on a new project that is a long project and one that we get to pretty much start with a new slate. I can't say what the project is. What I can say is that the Project Leader is from the world of Java and very sharp. He wants to do this right to the extent that we can do in our environment...
