  • The end of the conference...

    It went out wth a bang... Don Box came in singing “Give SOAP a chance” which Tim Bray turned into “give Sun a chance.” There was much fun and revelry and I have it all recorded. The Plural Site/former-developmentor guys have lived up to their billing... They are the craziest and...
  • Keith Brown: Top 10 Security Tips for Web Service Developer

    “One man's new feature is another man's new exploit.” Who's job is it to make things secure? Everyone [I say we should take pride in what we due and be diligent]. 1) Less is more (Less privilege) - minimal permissions... who runs on their laptop as a non-admin? very few [I plan on doing it...
  • Blair Schneider McKay: Using XML to take the headaches out of EDI processing

    Another practitioner talk (which is cool). EDI sucks! I've seen it tried to comprehend it. Like Blair I feel sorry for anyone who has had to look at it or work with it. [I'm eating a weird combination of nuts and jelly belly jelly beans.] XML ---> EDI (you trade single-use tools for generic XML ....
  • Neetu Rajpal: XML in Visual Studio 2005

    Great... I lost this entire post. Here's the deal. 1) XML is faster in VS 2005. 2) XSLT gets compiled! 3) XSD schemas are now validated 4) The editor for XML features schema validation and inellisense 5) XSLT can now be debugged 6) The XSLT debugger will invoke while stepping through the regular code...
  • Jeff Barr- Amazon Web Services: A Year in Review

    “Feel free to blog about this” [I will]. This is another practitioners talk. In other words, my team did this, ain't it cool? [Yes, it is]. Web services let them build a “programmable web site.” It also decouples the data and presentation layers (you get that my OOP readers)....
  • XML DevCon V: Content...

    I wonder... do you think any of the speakers would be upset if I stole their whole presentation, so that I can start doing user group presentations? I think I could maybe try to pull off Don Box's presentation... OK, maybe not... One of the goals for me doing this blogging thing was that I want to eventually...
  • Doug Purdy: Web Services Versioning

    Doug is Joe Java in he Lab Eye for the Dev. Guy... That's what is shown before the talk... you need to hear the audio... nothing more to be said... [I wish I had time to read blogs... I can't wait to see what Rory has been saying today]. Subtitle “or how I learned to stop worrying and love UPA...
  • Rich Salz: Protecting XML/WS Servers at the Network Level

    Buzz word = XML-aware network. Provide security, performance, manageability for XML that exists in your IP network. Lot's of challenges in application software. [This is starting to feel like a commercial... I hope it picks up]. Ahh... now I see what his product does... it's a cool piece for work to...
  • Tim Ewald: WS-Hope

    I can't say that this stuff doesn't work... it clearly does, because they let bloggers into the conventions so that they could post RSS. Reporter asked a blogger “what are you doing?” And, the blogger said I'm sending XML messages to the world. Ebay has had an XML service that lets people...
  • Before Day 2...

    Ok, so I have a couple of things to blog about before the first session. Rob, I talked to Don Box and got the answer to your question about Indigo. [The question: I heard a rumor that you (Don Box) are working like a crazy man, so that you can ship Indigo with Whidbey] Don's Answer: Yes and no. It's...
  • XML DevCon day1 summary (final thoughts before heading to bed)

    So the day is over and I'm laying in bed blogging (I'm such a geek!) Anyway, I wanted to blog about the Q&A session after dinner; unfortunately, I lost my notes, but I think I can do it from memory anyway. Before the session Jeff Julian, Budge, and DonXML advised me against learning XML Schema.....
