Hustle and WorkFlow (or, how not to get outsourced) - Redmond Developer News - 0 views
-
Wherein the author presents a recipe for job security: tie development so closely to an understanding of corporate workflows that it's irrevocably knit into the fabric of the company and colocation with users ... It's important to note, however, that the sort of development he's talking about is strictly the light-weight "in house" variety -- not the development of externally facing applications for sale.
Microsoft Command Line Standard - 0 views
-
our goal is to present a consistent, composable command line user experience. Achieving that allows a user to learn a core set of concepts (syntax, naming, behaviors, etc) and then be able to translate that knowledge into working with a large set of commands. Those commands should be able to output standardized streams of data in a standardized format to allow easy composition without the burden of parsing streams of output text.

Microsoft's new "Command Line Standard" guidance on how to write applications which behave nicely as part of a command line interface pipeline ... specifically, PowerShell Commandlets implement most of this by default, but this willl allow unmanaged apps to better coexist in the PowerShell world ...
Policy Injection App Block - Behind the Scenes - 0 views
-
We use an interception mechanism to get in the way of calls going to that member, collect a list of policies that apply using a matching rules mechanism, run the chain of handlers specified by those policies in a chain of responsibility and at the other end dispatch the call to the target. Once the target is done - successfully or with exceptions - the stack unwinds, returning through each handler and finally back to the caller.
-
Very good read (particularly their evaluation of weaving methods).
Although as a result their "Policy Injection" application block isn't as powerful as most of the straight-up AOP toolkits out there, it does have a *huge* upside: not only is the code produced by this supportable by Microsoft Product Support, it's now officially part of the Patterns and Practices recommendations!
The down side is that the only injectable objects are ones created through a "Factory" method (you can't just use the *new* constructor) this brings some performance hits ... but then, you get the ability to separate concerns and apply policies and even business rules after the fact!

Creating OpenSearch plugins for Firefox - MDC - 0 views
-
Your server should serve OpenSearch plugins using the MIME type application/opensearchdescription+xml. Be sure that your Search Plugin XML is well formed. You can check by loading the file directly into Firefox. Ampersands in the template URL need to be escaped with & and tags need to be closed with a trailing slash or matching end tag. The xmlns attribute is important, without it you could get an error message indicating that "Firefox could not download the search plugin from: (URL)". Note that you must include a text/html URL โ search plugins including only Atom or RSS URL types (which is valid, but Firefox doesn't support) will also generate the "could not download the search plugin" error. Remotely fetched favicons must not be larger than 10KB
McCoy - MDC - 0 views
-
Once you have a key you need to add its public part to your add-on's install.rdf file. The simplest way to do this is to select the key then click the Install toolbar button. You must then locate your install.rdf for McCoy and the public part of the key will be added directly to the file. The file will be overwritten so take a backup if you need to.
-
You need to use McCoy to sign this file so that the application can verify that it really came from you. Simply select the key you originally added to the add-on's install.rdf, then click the "Sign" toolbar button, select your update.rdf file and the data in it will be signed. It's important to note that if you change any information in the update file then it must be signed again.
Lab49 Blog ยป Out-WPFGrid PowerShell CmdLet - 0 views
-
An Out-Grid cmdlet implemented in what may possibly be the most complicated fashion ever ;-) David Barnhill has created a WPF app which you can instantiate from PowerShell by sending output to it... but the cmdlet actually creates a separate application object (a new process) and then communicates with it (using WCF) to send it the grid data.
Some cool tech there, but it seems like he might as well have made Out-WPFGrid into a stand-alone app -- and it seems like that would have been easier?
