    Connect-WebService allows you to connect to a remote webservice via it's WSDL service description file, and generates the web service proxy for you -- like wsdl.exe would, but straight into memory in PowerShell!

    An opinion on the cultural ignorance of .Net developers. Maybe he's right, but maybe there's no such thing as the cultured and respectful masses that he likes to imagine

    Microsoft's proprietary passport network is now known as the "Windows Live ID Service" but it's still just as proprietary and locked in, and it's only real improvement is support for CardSpace for authentication.

    Kaxaml is a lightweight XAML editor that gives you a "split view" so you can see both your XAML and your rendered content ... like XamlPad, but with intellisense, a tabbed ui, and more.

  • WPF, in conjunction with the .NET Framework add-in model, allows you to address a wide variety of scenarios that require host applications to display UIs from add-ins.
  • Joel Bennett on 06 Dec 07
     
    Addins (plugins) for WPF can even do UI. I'm not convinced this is necessary to do UIs with plugins, but it's necessary if you want to allow untrusted code to do it.

Development Usability Design Passwords

shared by Joel Bennett on 23 Jun 09 - Cached
  • Joel Bennett on 23 Jun 09
     
    Usability suffers when users type in passwords and the only feedback they get is a row of bullets. Typically, masking passwords doesn't even increase security, but it does cost you business due to login failures. It has proven to be a particularly nasty usability problem in our testing of mobile devices

Fabulous Adventures In Coding : The Stack Is An Implementation Detail, Part One - 0 views

clr cli .NETGeneral c# memory allocation

shared by Matteo Spreafico on 14 Aug 09 - Cached
  • Almost every article I see that describes the difference between value types and reference types explains in (frequently incorrect) detail about what “the stack” is and how the major difference between value types and reference types is that value types go on the stack.
  • I find this characterization of a value type based on its implementation details rather than its observable characteristics to be both confusing and unfortunate. Surely the most relevant fact about value types is not the implementation detail of how they are allocated, but rather the by-design semantic meaning of “value type”, namely that they are always copied “by value”.
  • Of course, the simplistic statement I described is not even true. As the MSDN documentation correctly notes, value types are allocated on the stack sometimes. For example, the memory for an integer field in a class type is part of the class instance’s memory, which is allocated on the heap.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • As long as the implementation maintains the semantics guaranteed by the specification, it can choose any strategy it likes for generating efficient code
  • That Windows typically does so, and that this one-meg array is an efficient place to store small amounts of short-lived data is great, but it’s not a requirement that an operating system provide such a structure, or that the jitter use it. The jitter could choose to put every local “on the heap” and live with the performance cost of doing so, as long as the value type semantics were maintained
  • I would only be making that choice if profiling data showed that there was a large, real-world-customer-impacting performance problem directly mitigated by using value types. Absent such data, I’d always make the choice of value type vs reference type based on whether the type is semantically representing a value or semantically a reference to something.

software engineering

shared by Fabien Cadet on 19 Jul 09 - Cached
  • The guys and gals who show up every day eager to hone their craft, who are passionate about building stuff that matters to them, and perhaps in some small way, to the rest of the world -- those are the people and projects that will ultimately succeed.
  • Everything else is just noise.
  • If you want to move your project forward, the only reliable way to do that is to cultivate a deep sense of software craftsmanship and professionalism around it.
  • Fabien Cadet on 19 Jul 09
     
    « I'm gradually coming to the conclusion that software engineering is an idea whose time has come and gone. Software development is and always will be somewhat experimental. The actual software construction isn't necessarily experimental, but its conception is. And this is where our focus ought to be. It's where our focus always ought to have been. » __ Tom DeMarco

    AWS is not only a rich platform to build solutions but also a platform for building specialized platforms. Customers can choose to either use the AWS cloud directly or take advantage of these value-added platforms. Customers can also mix and match platforms from this rich ecosystem. \n\nIn this post, we look at some of the best examples of specialized platforms built on AWS:

      What disadvantage did he find with having choice? Fragmented community, inconsistent UI, difficulty integrating with 3rd party apps, something else?
  • 5-9 clicks just to add a calendar item.
  • disjointed software updating -- which requires a Windows PC in older Nokia devices -- that leaves many North American users without fixes to serious issues for all but the most popular of handsets.

  • there really isn't something as stable and capable as the Symbian OS (yet).
  • Check with your home or renter's insurance whether they will or not before purchasing high-end models.
  • Nokia's Symbian devices do not always use the same software as Samsung and LG's Symbian devices.
  • Battery life is better with Nokia E-series devices; much better.
  • This platform is fun, but is in major transition; something like what Palm is going through with Palm OS 5 and webOS.
  • phone as a laptop/MP3 player/GPS/web server replacement
  • definitely had its points where I wanted to turn back to the Palm Treos

  • The web browser is a good example, on a pc it may make sense to ask a user to find, click, type, and browse the web or look for a service. In a mobile, converged product, you need to help the user be present with the service even or especially when they are driving or have the product in a pocket or handbag, and requiring them to constantly select 'yes' or to type in forms etc. are real headaches for a consumer.
  • We will not provide a store front, but will help the community create multiple online stores from which they can generate revenue for themselves and the developer.
  • At the other end of the spectrum, you see hoards of teenagers in the U.S., Europe and Asia happily texting one handed, using predictive text.

      How much time does a Symbian app developer have to put in to considering all the different Symbian phones on the market?
  • .Net CF
  • expanding this functionality with QT libraries, Adobe AIR technology
  • StyleTap has a Palm emulator that allows you to run thousands of Palm applications on Symbian products
  • Red Five Labs has a runtime for Symbian OS which ensures Microsoft .net applications can be fully supported.
  • many people around the world are not buying and cannot afford a PC.
  • The Symbian Foundation is helping to do this by ensuring we lower the barrier for entry for software developers.

    I can't see the point of having a wiki web server in your pocket but that is probably my failing. Maybe it is handy as a private notebook you can also share informally. This is the first finished Squeak application for the iPhone.

  • In this regard, SymbianOS may have a leg up on Apple's App Store and even Nokia's Ovi Store, in that the "Symbian Application Inventory" will be free for developers. That's what you call "incentive," but is it enough?
    • David Corking
      David Corking on 11 May 09
       
      Before it attracts app developers, it has to attract hardware integrators. There is plenty of hardware out there, but isn't this selling in far lower volumes than Linux or the proprietary smartphone OSes. As far as I can tell, it has attention from the biggest smartphone integrator of them all: Nokia, who, as far as I can tell, uses it in the best selling N95 family. This ratchets up the competion with Apple and RIM another notch.
  • David Corking on 11 May 09
     
    This Symbian system (aka Psion and Nokia S60) was well loved for its well though out personal organizer or PIM applications. Now, smartphone users seems more interested in e-mail, music and games. I am interested to see if Symbian OS still has a profitable niche. Symbian is a market leader in the new market.

    Etoys has become a great branch of Squeak (it branched from 3.8, but in the course of its development for OLPC, it has gained some nice fonts and a nice toolbar, among other things.) It behaves in a slightly more mainstream way, in that Etoys users no longer save the Etoys images, just save the project file (which is referred to in help as "Keep a current project"). The Squeak image itself restarts pristine and untouched each time it is restarted. \n\nSqueakers and developers who want to save their whole image (window positions, preferences, the lot, in classic Smalltalk style) will want the save command in the World menu. Bert Freudenberg explains where the World menu is hidden.

      Simple but sweet. I doubt it wil beat Google Docs for attracting collaborating groups, but it might! Corporations may want to do something similar with their private storage. How do they avoid malicious macros propagating from one cloud user to the next?
