David Chappell on The Three Faces of SOA Eric Newcomer: WS-* vs. REST is not the question Another architect with a chronicle of How CAN and TDD helps doing better designs WCF/CardSpace Richard Turner gives an insightful report on RSA2007 especially on the "demo showed Wachovia 's website running on Corillian 's online banking platform using Arcot Systems ' security engine to generate managed cards and process token requests." Corrillian and Wachovia's work will be important for all of this in this sector as more and more backs embrace CardSpace and Identity management. We are seeing a lot of movement in this area. Jorgen provides some great links on Interoperability with WCF . This is an area that I am becoming more involved with Java systems communicating with our WCF Services.

    I haven't felt like blogging much lately. Some of that is due to how much is going on at work (much more on that when I feel like it) but I have also haven't really felt jazzed about blogging lately. I want to, and am starting to devote more time to get myself into the gym and my family, both of which have higher priority, of course. I should at least empty out my flagged items in Feed Demon as the size of the list drives me crazy-). WPF/WPF/Avalon My good buddy Walt wants to know " What are the Top Five Things you want to know about WPF/e ?" He is speaking at several conferences this year on the subject, so if you want to influence his choices, head on over! Simon talks about the Regatta Manager as his #7 Great WPF application and as the 2nd production WPF ever . It definitely seems that WPF is picking up some real momentum in real applications vs demos Speaking of that, Tim Sneath continues his series with Great WPF Applications #7: Skandia Cowes Week CourseSetter Software Architecture/SOA Mario Szpusztra posts his whitepaper on his point-of-view on Microsoft's strategies around Service Orientation, BPM and ESB. Its a good read I agree with Harry on his reaction to Anne Manes of the Burton Group says the time is right for UDDI , calling it the "foundation for governance". I agree that UDDI may be a piece of the puzzle but I have seen nearly zero uptake on UDDI. As Harry says it's all about "desire" rather than discoverability Arnon continues his "What is SOA Anyway?" series with Part 4: SOA Defined and Part 5: Summary SQL Server/Data Congrats to Data Dude team on shipping ! You can get it here , more details from Gert here WCF/Indigo A nice series of posts emerged on Indigo beginning with a post that Harry sent me and asked me to review. I think Harry is right on in his How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love WCF with his realizations about the relationship between duplex contracts and durable services. As we all know, it was a V1, and stay tuned! Also in this thread Read More...

    Winter has finally set in with single digit temps and minus degrees wind chills but still no snow. WPF/Avalon Adam's WPF book is out and flying off the shelves apparently ! I have been looking forward to this one as his COM Interop book is the bible there. Feb CTP of WPF/E! New Docs, SDK and QuickStarts for the above Via Mike Harsh, Dave has put up a new WPF/E sample he built for a recent INETA talk that is a Reflection Editor .NET 3.0 Crash Course - Part 8: WPF Conclusion Tim Sneath , from the WPF Team, has been doing a series on great WPF applications that is up to 6. This hopefully proves that WPF is more than some pretty 3D demo thing and being used in real applications. #1: British Library Turning the Pages , #2: Electric Rain StandOut , #3: 90 Degree Radius Reports , #4: Otto , #5: TF1 , and #6: fnac.com LINQ/ADO.NET Orcas Entity Data Model 101: Part 1 Type safety - LINQ to DataSets Part 2 SOA As mentioned before, Dale Churchward is doing a series on "Proper SOA." He adds A Proper SOA is a Framework , A Proper SOA Must Work With Your Current Infrastructure and Legacy Applications , and A Proper SOA is Flexible Enough to Support Multiple Vendors, Software, and Hardware Harry on the Web Service Software Factory Kzu wrote a niece piece called " Building Software Factories Today " where he outlines some of the challenges and techniques you can use (and we will be using) to make effective factories on today's platform. [via Peter ] Financial and Banking Vertical/Architecture Mike has more on a topic near and dear to me: Software Factories for Financial Services Mike also shows how Microsoft is a clear leader in standards support for our Financial Industry.
