September 2005 - Service Station, by Aaron Skonnard
-
The code snippet support in VS.NET 2005 is magical, at least once you know how to use it. I was just creating a bunch of XML snippets, relishing how much time they were going to save me down the road, and then ended up spending over an hour trying to...

When you see how ASMX 2.0 and WSE 3.0 are coming together, it creates hope for Web service developers in the trenches today, especially those who will not have the luxury of moving to WCF immediately. That was the vibe during my PDC precon -- one of hope...

If you like starting with XSD, don't miss Kirk's XSD build provider for VS.NET 2005. You'll love it. It's perfect for the hybrid approach where you start with XSD's, generate classes, and then author doc/lit/bare WebMethods manually.

This was one of the highlights of the PDC for me. I was hoping someone would bootleg it for others to enjoy, and they did ! (conjurs up that hilarious Seinfeld episode). If you haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite , you should rent it right away, but only if...
-
It always takes me a few days to unwind after a show and to process everything that happened there. PDC left me with one major feeling: it's overwhelming how much new stuff MS is producing at once. So we have Vista and WinFx, which constitues WCF (Indigo...

A few posts ago I announced that I was going to retire my vanity email address due to an overload of spam. A reader suggested that I just point it to GMail and let it filter the spam for me. I had received an invite to GMail quite a while ago but never...
-
When I got home from PDC and plugged my laptop back into my home network, I got nothing. No network love. I could get an IP address, but it couldn't see the other machines on my network, and nothing else could see it (by name). After spending a few hours...

In response to my last entry, a reader posted about a BizTalk appliance ( Bridgewerx ) that provides a higher-level DSL modeling tool similar to the up-and-coming Solution Designer only it works today with BTS 2004. Given the installation and deployment...

I love the BTS 2004 messaging layer. You know that. But I'm the first to admit that it hasn't been the easiest thing for developers to use. I think the main usability issue stems from not being able to visualize what happens to a message as it enters...

The PDC precons are over and today the rest of the show officially begins. My precon was on building Web services today with ASMX 2.0 + WSE 3.0. I've posted my demos here .
-
Last night I had the pleasure of presenting at the local Northern Utah .NET UG on Indigo. It was a great time. It's nice to finally see Indigo tickling people's interest. They'll be posting the slides/demos on their site .

We just announced our first public Indigo offering , an intensive 3-day event to be held in Boston on December 6-8. Space is limited to the first 25. Hope to see you there.
-
During the summer, Keith and Fritz announced a few of our newest Pluralsight instructors: Ted Pattison , Ian Griffiths , and Craig Andera . We all worked together in a previous life, and I just wanted to publicly say how psyched I am to be working with...
-
This may be old news to some of you… Fritz sent me this link the other day as we were raving about Google, right after installing Google Talk for the first time. Fwiw, I'm a huge fan of all things Google (search, mail, talk, earth, etc) because everything...
