I put the slides for my talks at NT Konferenca 2010 on SkyDrive . The major difference from my APAC slides is that I had to put compute and storage into one deck due to the conference schedule, but instead of purely consolidating and cutting down the...

I'm on a tour through several countries right now and I'm talking to ISVs about the Windows Azure platform, its capabilities and the many opportunities ISVs have to transform the way they do business by moving to the cloud. The first day of the events...

My office neighbor, our Service Bus Test Lead Vishal Chowdhary put together a bundle of code and documentation for how to use Service Bus with Server AppFabric and IIS 7.5. Here: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ServiceBusDublinIIS

It’s not a revival of my career as a traveling talking head, but it sure feels a bit like old days. I’m on United 875 from Seattle to Tokyo/Narita right now, somewhere above the North Pacific. A few hours more to go and then I’ll be connecting to Singapore...

At the bottom of this post you’ll find the DinnerNow version that I’ve been using for my PDC09 talk. The video of that talk is now available at http://microsoftpdc.com/Sessions/SVC18 and I recommend that you listen to the talk for context. The DinnerNow...

Building “hybrid” cloud applications where parts of an an app lives up in a cloud infrastructure and other parts of the infrastructure live at a hosting site, or a data center, or even in your house ought to be simple – especially in this day and age...

Anyone using the .NET Service Bus should take a good look at the SocketShifter project started by Rob Blackwell and Richard Prodger from AWS in the UK. AWS stands for Active Web Solutions , not for the "other" AWS. The full project is up on Codeplex ...

In Parts 3 and 4 of this series I’ve explained the REST protocol for the .NET Service Bus Queue capability. If that looked a little too complicated for your taste and you’d rather clean with a simple API surface, here’s the API that you’ll prefer. We...

After I’ve gone through the dry facts of the REST Queue Protocol in Part 3 of this series , here’s some code to look at. The code snippets are ripped from the HTTP Queue sample we’ve got in the .NET Services SDK and you can get the copy/paste ready code...

Stefan Tilkov has several interesting remarks regarding our .NET Service Bus REST Queue Protocol that are worth addressing. Putting a password in the URI to get an identity token seems to expose information unnecessarily That’s an area where we know that...

XML-RPC for WCF Download here I had updated my WCF XML-RPC stack for PDC’08 but never got around to post it (either too busy or too lazy when not busy). The updated source code is attached to this post. Contrary to the code that I’ve posted a while back...

Short answer: You can’t. There is a range of breaking protocol changes between the December bits and the March bits. Your app won’t work until you upgrade (uninstall/install) to the March 2009 CTP client bits and/or SDK .

[If this text looks vaguely familiar you’ve read the HttpQueueSample Readme doc from the SDK. Good job!] Here is the Service Bus Queue REST protocol. I apologize if this is a bit dry, but I want to give you the bare protocol facts first and will follow...

In the previous post in this series I’ve discussed some of the foundational principles of the new Queue and Router features of the .NET Services Bus and the role that policies play in turning names in the namespace into messaging primitives. In this post...

In the March 2009 CTP of the .NET Service Bus we’ve added two significant new capabilities, Routers and Queues, that also signal a change of how we’ve thinking about the Service Bus namespace, its capabilities and the road ahead. Before the M5 release...

… seht Euch mal die Wa an, wie die Wa ta kann. Auf der Mauer auf der Lauer sitzt ‘ne kleine Wa! . It’s a German children’s song. The song starts out with “… sitzt ‘ne kleine Wanze” (bedbug) and with each verse you leave off a letter: Wanz, Wan, Wa, W...

With the March CTP, the .NET Service Bus namespace root for each project is taking on a new form that we had already pre-announced into the PDC’08 documentation and that I’ve talked about at PDC and other occasions. Any project’s root URI is now, depending...

Our deployment team reports that they’re done with the last touches on our new release, that the servers are happily humming with the new bits, and that the new SDK is posted. The .NET Services Developer Center has been updated as well. You can get the...

We’ve been getting some questions along the lines of “I am hosting a service as xyz.svc in IIS and have changed the config to use on of the Service Bus bindings , but the service never gets called?” That’s right. It doesn’t. The reason for that is that...

The MSDN Developer Center for .NET Services is the first stop to go to for technical information on the Service Bus, the Access Control Service and the Workflow Service. There quite a bit of documentation for “my” feature area, the .NET Service Bus ,...
