I am SO busy with INETA trips and tons to do at work. Here is what I have stored up for the last week or so. WCF/SOA/Workflow/WF Tomas blogs about something I face every day in WCF with WCF ServiceHost Failures and IDisposable with "The "don't call Close()/Dispose() if faulted" behavior that ServiceHost requires does not work well with IDisposable; it demands a behavior different from the standard IDisposable pattern." We're having a lot of issues with dealing with failures and what to do with them but Tomas definetly states a fundamental problem. Tomas has also WCF, WF and BizTalk Sample Posted with some interesting stuff!! MTOM Interoperability between Oracle Application Server and Windows Communication Foundation Part1: From WCF to Oracle Jesus Rodriguez as well, " I am happy to see this progress: " The Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I) announced the publication of three new Working Group Drafts : the Basic Profile 1.2, Basic Security Profile 1.1 and the Reliable Secure Profile 1.0 Usage Scenarios. Advancement of these documents to Working Group Draft status is an invitation to the Web services community to provide technical feedback." I could just list every single post that Mike Taulty writes on WF; they are all that good! In particular, WF and Versioning , MetaStorm and the Workflow Designer , Little Workflow Foundation Sample I could and have done the same with "Nicholas Allen's" posts on Indigo: ListenUriBindingElement , Creating Faults Part 1, and Part 2 CLR How to avoid assembly loads , and Getting the list of loaded assemblies from Richard Lander James Higgs talks about Garbage Collection and the IDisposable interface WPF/Avalon Karsten has an awesome Avalon demo - "The Woodgrove Finance Application is a great demo of how WPF can be used to create better data visualization, in this case for financial data. I've posted the source code -- there are some good nuggets in here worth exploring." Introducing the XML Assembly Generator Data V1 of Data Read More...

Now that I got my Feed Demon back, I actually have some stuff in the queue that is not so "new" but perhaps still "notable." Architecture/CAB/Smart Client Oldie but goodie: Eugenio has compiled a list of CAB and Smart Client Software Factory Resources You can also see my mini-tutorial combined with an Agile sense with CAB Smart Clients in an Agile World Part 1 , and Part 2 Microsoft Software Factory Architect Jack Greenfield on Ad-Hoc and Systematic Reuse where he differentiates the two and points out that the "i n the software factories book , we explain that systematic reuse is effective, but ad hoc reuse is not." Indigo/WCF/SOA/BPM/BPEL/Workflow More goodness from Tomas with IServiceBehavior, IDispatchMessageInspector, and Endpoints A pair from the master, David Chappell, with Why BEPL is Like Bytecode , and Standardizing the Right Thing: BPMN or BPEL? Avoiding OneWay Deadlocks from Nicholas Allen Data/SQL Server CTP6 of Data Dude (i.e. VSTS for Database Pros) is out . Cameron has the scoop on the new features. Other/Tools IE7 has made it out of beta and is released The very useful CodeSmith is out in a public Beta 4.2 Agile Martin Fowler calls it the ImprovementRavine Pattern: " If you care about what you do, you care about getting better at it. This involves reflecting about how you do things, and trying out new techniques to see if they make you better. Even if other people recommend new techniques, the only way you know if they work for you is by trying them out yourself and seeing if they improve your performance.The trouble is that improvement, particularly with new techniques isn't linear. Often there is a ravine that opens up when you try a new strategy ."

You know what? Owning a pool really sucks-). Oh, it’s great to go in but not a lot of fun spending most of every Saturday going to the pool shop getting the water levels measured, spending $100 a week on chemicals, spending the rest of the day applying such chemicals, and endless vacuuming. Plus I have no F*&^^ idea what I’m doing-). Anyone sympathize? I have a whole bunch of stuff saved up since I couldn’t blog because even with 8 of us busting our humps we totally blew this Iteration (more later) and we’re all working in pieces this weekend (Yes, even on an Agile team!). It was a really awesome week for Ruby, especially in CLR land: Ruby/Rails Great news from John Gough (author of still the best CLR compiler book 4 years later) and crew at Queensland, with the preliminary Beta release of the Gardens Point Ruby.Net compiler download !! John, has some more in-depth analysis here . If you haven’t tried Ruby you owe to yourself to do so as it just may arguably be the most powerful yet simple language out there. Equally awesome news from my pal John Lam , who has released RubyCLR Drop 4. I plan to play with both of these as soon as we ship this Iteration-)). Day 1 report f rom the RailsConf 2006 Day 1 and Day 2 Report . Another Day 1 Report from Robby on Rails. Also Day 2 Part 1 CLR FxCop 1.35 release announced on FxCop blog . Shawn has a great post on Reducing Startup Time Due to Strong Name Verification WPF/Avalon The WPF blog shows how to Implement a Mac OS X Dock in WPF . Also check-out the Slinky XAML ListBox !! On the LearningWPF blog, there is a sample using a re-usable WPF Template for displaying time information WCF/Indigo/SOA/WSE Nicholas announces the availability of slides from the TechEd WCF chalk talks from the community site Kiril talks about a subject very dear to me; controlling aspects of WSDL Generation from WCF. He states that there are three main phases: 1) Design time: settings on data contract, message contract, service contract, service behavior, Read More...

On May 19, 2003 , I said " I have always admired Mike's ability to look at the world out there and put it all into one great post, The Daily Grind . While I can't pretend to have Mike's writing ability, I would like to start moving to something similar instead of multiple separate posts ." I still believe that today but I have not been so great about "daily" or I would have been over 500, but here I am over 3 years later with number 100! While I am still in Mike emulation mode, I would like to do something like he did for the "Tell a Friend" and contest. I don't want to blatantly copy his contest (maybe I do!) but I want to double the readership of this blogs. If you get anything out of these posts and the blog, I'd love if you told someone else to subscribe. In the meantime , I'd love to hear from you on this blog on what you think might increase readership as well as your experience. So we have today: My co-worker and pair programmer today Steve questions Microsoft’s strategy on releasing two OR/M solutions. Andres (and Frans on the comments) also question this. I agree that this is just going to confuse the developer totally when they need to use the technology. Ayende agrees that this is madness. I’d rather see a single OR/M solution based on LINQ that is extensible . Again, Andres , “ I went to TechEd Keynote today and I almost got asleep. Then Chloe appeared and it was the only excuse I had to not to leave before it finished” Have you checked out http://www.seewindowsvista.com/ ? It is a very cool way to see some amazing things that developers are doing with Vista and .NET Framework 3.0. [via Brad ] The Indigo group has released the " Windows Communication Foun dation RSS Toolkit " on the new community site . This toolkit, which comes with complete source code, illustrates how to expose ATOM and RSS feeds through WCF endpoints SCBAT has been upgraded to a new, soon to be released version of GAT and GAX Craig announces msdnman Microsoft is preparing a third IE 7 Read More...
