Acropolis David Hill's blog is here and the Team Blog is here One nice post on the Team Blog is Extending the Notepad Sample with a Web Browser View Secret Themes in Acropolis Three New Acropolis Videos WCF/SOA/WF/Orcas Jesus Rodriguez on Orcas Durable Services Speaking of WCF, Steve details a really strange finding for both of us: that one way Indigo messages can block. I got the Indigo tracing turned on and it confirmed the results: closing the client proxy blocks until the one way message completes. Why? This seems to defeat the purpose of One Way Messages Harry rounds up the REST responses MAC OS/X OK, so two of my good friends dump Parallels for latest beta of VMWare Fusion . Time to look this weekend! Entity Framework Somehow, I forgot to blog Jeff's post about the good news: Entity Framework to Get Persistence Ignorance (PI) Blogging Good advice from Mr Hanselman on keeping your blog from sucking especially since I have violated some of the principles :) Silverlight/ASP.NET/Expression/Win2K8 Server Brad Abrams covers all of the above in one post Technorati Tags: Orcas.

I am still reeling from seeing the Red Hot Chili Peppers with Mars Volta 2 nights ago in Philly at the Wachovia Center. The Peppers were beyond grea t with Frusciante taking a very active lead role. Many of the songs contained a full-out Hendrix-type feedback solo in it that showed the depth of his talents. I think Stadium Arcadium is their best album since Blood, Sex, Magic (which they pulled out the title song the other night!!). You can't beat a start of Can't Stop-> Dani California! Mars Volta is one of my favorite bands (although hard to take at times) and I am listening to the brilliant new Ampheture right now which they played in full the other night. Live, they come off as a wall of sonic noise and Bixler-Zavala wailing singing, an assault on the senses that drove people nuts (my wife wanted to leave!) and their greatness only came through in sporadic moments (Viscera Eyes). Okay, a lot of stuff today. Number one, I want to congratulate my good friend and master of these types of posts, Mike Gunderloy for hitting The Daily Grind 1000 !! Mike is an incredible asset to the community and a terrific writer to boot. If you are one of the rare people not already subscribed, get your ass over there this minute and make it so! I have started to write (for work) a Workflow XOML loader and executor. I want to do something like XamlPad or even Snippet Compiler to execute my workflows. I have the hosting of the runtime down and loading the XAML/XOML. More later. WCF/SOA/Indigo/BizTalk/Workflow/Distributed .NET Another good friend of mine, Tomas Restepo. has some great stuff: He released his MSMQ Activities for Windows Workflow Foundation. He addresses MsmqListenerService concerns with the above Gets answers for the question of how to get the SOAP Action associated with a given operation when all you have is the OperationDescription for it Points to Ralph Squillace s post an walkthrough entry of how metadata publication (MEX + WSDL) is enabled in Windows Communication 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 ."

There is so much I want to say about important topics like Rocky's well-written, thought provoking Semantic Coupling: The Elephant in the SOA Room and Udi Dahan's excellent response but I don't have time to write a good response but hopefully soon. SOA/Services/WCF/Indigo/Workflow As mentioned, Rocky's well-written Semantic Coupling: The Elephant in the SOA Room Udi Dahan's excellent response particularly, "I'd disagree that this is what SOA focuses on. I'd say that Web Services focuses on that. And SOA does not equal Web Services." Again, and again, people don't get this. My good friend Harry also creates a stir with Things I Didn't Realize about WF , More Stuff I Didn't Realize about WF provoking a response from Paul Andrews a lead on the WF. Harry did get some things wrong which he acknowledges with WF Clarifications and Corrections . We are also, as Harry dependent on the same two foundational technologies: WF and WCF so I also would like to see integration with WCF not ASMX but there is a lot of power in WF. Jorgen points to this Channel 9 chalk-talk video by Vittorio Bertocci on the innermost details of WS-Trust. Nicholas Allan, WCF's equivalent of the Energizer Bunny , has some more great posts: Use OnWay for Long-Running Operations , Configuring HTTP for Windows Vista , and TransportWithMessageCredential over TCP Software Architecture Peter Provost posts on the release of Guidance Explorer Beta 2 on CodePlex Brad Appleton has assembled a bunch of entries with numerous resources on different aspects of Scaling Agility, a topic very dear to me . Scott Hanselman reports on hosting the Open Source in the Enterprise at the Patterns & Practices Summit . Speaking of the above, I really loved Ted's post on the above with the quote, " But Java still has much more it can teach the .NET community: mocking, unit-testing, lightweight containers, dependency-injection, and the perils of O/R-M are just part of Read More...
