Over the course of the last eight months—though it feels twice as long—I’ve been spending nearly all of my free-time (and more) working on a book, entitled “Building Windows 8 Apps with JavaScript.” I realized a bit ago that I ‘ve said nothing of this book here on my blog, [...]
For the past several months, I’ve been working on my first book “Building Windows 8 Apps with JavaScript,” slated for release later this year. It’s been a long, yet gratifying, ride, and I’m excited to see the final product in print in just a few short months. If you haven’t had a [...]
Summary: Many Node.js Applications rely heavily on Standard Output (stdout) like console.log, util.log, etc., for reporting application state, events and errors. By leveraging the power of JavaScript and a simple hook module, you can write unit tests that verify your application output.
Over the last several months, I’ve been spending a lot of time in [...]
Thanks to Clint Edmonson for giving me the idea for this post.
If you’ve read Scott Guthrie’s recent posts on WebMatrix and the new Razor syntax, you’ve likely seen mention of the word “helper” in a few different contexts:

For the past several weeks, we’ve been working on creating a viewpoint of our future-state architecture that enables a greater degree of low-hurdle innovation with technology than we currently enable. The goal is to enable anyone across the globe, inside of the organization or out, to make use of public information we provide to [...]
…and I’ll charge you an arm and a leg to make it better. Looks like IBM is starting up a dysfunctional SOA practice. Not surprising really. Consider this quote: “Some organizations may not be happy with their service oriented architectures (SOAs). They may have “unhealthy” SOAs as a consequence of partnering with inexperienced [...]
Last week, Jean-Jacques Dubray published an article on InfoQ regarding Microsoft’s recent announcement of Oslo, a strategy designed to “…take composite applications to the mainstream.” Rather than revolving around a single product, Oslo sets strategic direction for Visual Studio, BizTalk, the .Net Framework, Microsoft System Center and a new product called BizTalk Services. On a side [...]
Back in September, I published a couple of excerpts from an internal paper I wrote on Composite Applications (you can read them here, here and here). At the end of my second post, (which I probably should have broken up into 2-3 posts at least) I discussed the four types of [...]
For the past couple of weeks, I have been doing an in-depth look at various mobile communication technologies (SMS, EMS, MMS, etc.) for the purposes of incorporating these technologies into our existing strategies. While the scenarios vary, most of the use-cases driving us to SMS et al. revolve around information delivery in areas where Internet [...]
SOA: Sometimes it IS about the technology – Both Nick’s post and Andrew McAfee’s original are worth a read and right on. I think the pearl of wisdom is for all of us to stop advocating one extreme or the other (“x is about technology” vs “x is not”) all the time and [...]
