I normally keep it with Peter and don't re-post any articles without comment, but this time Richard just did it. There's nothing to add:

To clarify my point of view on SOAP a little: I'm not saying that I wouldn't like to see WS-Routing allowing us to "reply" to messages. Instead I just wanted to answer Joel who thinks that SOAP needs support for callbacks before being usable. Read More

While writing my thoughts about SOAP being a first-tier technology, I hoped that someone would catch up on it and think through my ERP example. People did this and responded to me by email: What if the customer wants to be notified as soon as the Read More

Today, Joel posted some strong opinions about SOAP:
The real problem with SOAP is that it's a completely inadequate remoting system. It doesn't have events (which makes it useless for large classes of applications). It doesn't support references (ditto). Read More

Today, Richard posted the article Remoting Matters in which he states "that as the software we write today becomes more distributed the pieces that connects them will become increasingly more important."
He also says why .NET Remoting can Read More

Sam Gentile: "It's the runtime stupid": I think C# is the VB of 2002 [...] We now have a whole lot of people, like the VB days, that have no idea what they're doing. [...] Forget about learning C#. Forget about learning VB.NET. Learn about the CLR and Read More

I already knew that my book will be available at TechEd but due to the time constraint, I didn't expect my copies to arrive earlier than in about a week or two. It's been quite a surprise for me to receive them today!

Hmmm ... I just thought about implementing SSPI based security in a custom channel sink instead of a custom channel. This would allow us to reuse this authentication scheme with every channel (yes, and it would also reduce our development effort) Read More

Tomas and I started working on the secured TCP channel. While he is writing a managed wrapper for SSPI (so that we can write the real Channel in C#), I'll be working on a cleanroom implementation of a TCP channel. This shouldn't take too long as I already Read More
