In the ongoing MSDN Architecture Webcast Series with broad coverage of all things WCF (see the "Next Generation: .NET Framework 3.0 and Vista" section for archived and upcoming content), I am on today (8AM PST, 11AM EST, 17:00 CET), live from my kitchen...

Cool. I hadn't even seen this demo until now, even though we already have it for a while. Our technical evangelist Craig McMurtry posted the "Digital Fortress" demo, which is an implementation of the computer systems that play major roles in Dan Brown...

[Note to self: Schedule the video taping session early in a bound-to-be-stressful week, not 2 hours before you need to leave for the airport on Friday.] MSDN TV has a new episode featuring yours truly speaking about WCF bindings (and what they cause...

I was sad when "Indigo" and "Avalon" went away. It'd be great if we'd have a pool of cool legal-approved code-names for which we own the trademark rights and which we could stick to. Think Delphi or Safari. "Indigo" was cool insofar as it was very handy...

I've been quoted as to have said so at TechEd and I'll happily repeat it: "XML is the assembly language of Web 2.0", even though some (and likely some more) disagree. James Speer writes " Besides, Assembly Language is hard, XML isn’t." , which I have...

empox v. ( ĕm-pŏks ) 1. The act of adding POX endpoints to an application.

My first of two sessions this week here at TechEd is on Thursday, at 2:45pm in room 153ABC on "Designing Bindings and Contracts". I realize that the title sounds a bit abstract and a different way to put this would be "How to choose the correct bindings...

We've just released the " Windows Communication Foundation RSS Toolkit " on our new community site. This toolkit, which comes with complete source code, illustrates how to expose ATOM and RSS feeds through WCF endpoints. I will discuss the toolkit in...

This is my first TechEd! - as a Microsoft employee. It's of course not my first tech event in my new job (Egypt, Jordan, UK, France, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Las Vegas/USA, Slovenia, and Israel are on the year-to-date list - on top of three...

Late last night, my colleague James Conard , who has worked and worked and worked tirelessly on this for the past few months and has shown great patience with a big group of people pulling into all sorts of directions as we got this together has flipped...

My PM colleague Nicholas Allen is certainly on my list for "best blogging newcomer of 2006". He started in February, got hooked, and I am not sure whether he actually did leave the keyboard since then. Nicholas just started a blog series that explains...

I'm running Vista since Sunday. Surprised? I mean, are you surprised that I haven't been running Vista for the last several months already? Realistically, given I am one of a very small group of members of the greater Indigo team who telecommute across...

Christian Weyer stars in a new episode of the German dotnetproTV series and masterfully explains the Windows Communication Foundation. If you don't understand German, you may still enjoy Christian's flip-chart skills and overall good looks. ;-) Christian...

A question that is raised quite often in the context of “SOA” is that of how to deal with data. Specifically, people are increasingly interested in (and concerned about) appropriate caching strategies. What I see described in that context is often motivated...
