A couple months back, the folks at Salesforce.com reached out to me and asked if I’d be interested in helping them beef up their .NET-oriented content.

Is “mock-up” supposed to hyphenated? These are issues [...] Blog Post by: Matt Donahue

Recently I started exploring the world of Dynamics and specifically Dynamics CRM. Technically the platform looks fairly simple with a reasonably clean web services API (mostly SOAP) & SAML based message security (remember legacy WS-Trust ) using Live ID as the identity provider. The helper code from the sdk (\sdk\samplecode\cs\helpercode) hides all the complexity but [...] Blog Post by: zamd

On the latest version of BizTalk (2013): a new adapter was introduced for natively working with REST endpoints, using WCF technology: the WCF-WebHttp Adapter. After the beta version was released we could find some very good articles about this adapter, but since it is a new adapter there's a lot of ground to cover.

With the new WCF-WebHttp Adapter that shipped in BizTalk Server 2013 we now have the ability to specify which HTTP verbs to use – this opens up the possibility of invoking RESTful style applications. In this post, I’ll investigate how we can RESTfully invoke an endpoint that exposes data via JSON using the GET verb [...] Blog Post by: Nick Heppleston

While looking into purchasing MSDN licenses for a client here’s what I found: For the US: Now when you change the drop down from US to Australia we get these prices (given that $AUD 1 = (approx) $USD 1 So for e.g. take a MSDN – VS.NET Test. Aussie Dollar = $3,460 US= $2,170 which equates to $AUD 1 = $USD 0.627 this is what happens when living in a 3rd world country…. - absolutely outrageous. Blog Post by: Mick Badran
