OAuth MVC.net Revisited

Posted by Owen Evans on Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

My Foray into OAuth with MVC.net is getting more thorough. I quickly came upon a problem in the project as it stood with regards to the signing methods I’d used.

I’d grabbed the OAuth base class from the samples available over on oauth.net but quickly found out (well actually not that quickly, I still had to [...]

Back out of black

Posted by Owen Evans on Monday, February 23rd, 2009

The controversial (to say the lease) piece of rubbish legislation that is Section 92A has been delayed by parliament due somewhat to the presure we put on government through protests etc.

It’s not over but this is the first sign that anyone’s actually listening.

Added a sample OAuth consumer in Cocoa

Posted by Owen Evans on Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Well this is my first foray into the world of objective-c programming, but I’ve added a sample consumer for mac os x to the ms-mvc OAuth project, I know it’s not mvc specific (I’m going to write an mvc consumer next) but as I program on my Mac it was useful for me to have [...]

Just found out MacGyver’s first name was Angus, huh who’d have thunk it.

Architectural concerns with the ASP.net MVC Framework – John Daniel-Trask

Ok so if there’s one thing I do want to say about this is that it wasn’t really about architecture, yet it had an arc stream code. JD is a great presenter, witty and quick and keeps the flow going well, but I’m not sure the material suited the title… a lot about TDD and dependency injection, and a more developer focused that perhaps it should have been. Was a great dissection of Kigg (which should be held as an example of what not to do), but should have been on the developer track.

Hardcore LINQ to entities – Adam Cogan

Ok Adam, you took way too long to get to point, also a few to many deviations from the point. I really don’t have any inclination to use Linq to SQL or Linq to Entities, they both seem too configuration heavy, I’ll stick to Lightspeed for my own projects.

Application lifecycle management with “Rosario” – Mat Velloso

So the new Visual Studio Team System is called Rosario, and MS are still going down the route of putting everyone into Visual Studio. I really don’t think this approach will work, there unit testing framework is far from the best. However the new test management application (can’t remember the code name) looks somewhat interesting. but I can’t really see it taking off, only time will tell. A couple of great ideas: Saving videos of tests, and snapshots of virtual machines at the point where the error occurred.

Designing Compelling User Experiences with Expression Studio 2 – Nigel Parker

Less practical advise in this one and more of a run through of a few cool sites and great user experiences that can be created with Silverlight. Silverlight has the potential to be a great technology, allowing an already experienced group of .net developers create some compelling apps. But the proof will be in the pudding.
