deCast - Building an AJAX-Friendly WCF Service

Rob Bagby — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 16:24:00 GMT

WCF 3.5 provides the ability to easily expose services to AJAX client applications. Specifically, the webHttpBinding has an "AJAX-Friendly" endpoint behavior. What do I mean by "AJAX-Friendly"? To me, it means that we will create a client proxy that knows how to call your service from an AJAX client. What used to take dozens, if not hundreds, of lines of code now takes 3. In this screencast, Rob Bagby will illustrate how this works in great detail.

Dave Campbell: SQL Server Data Services and the Future of Data in the Cloud

Charles — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:56:49 GMT

Continuing with the Technical Fellow interviews on Channel 9, meet Dave Campbell. From his bio: "David Campbell is a Microsoft Technical Fellow working in the Data Storage Platform division where he is responsible for driving technical strategy and architecture of Microsoft SQL Server and other storage products. He also helps drive architectural alignment across Microsoft’s Server and Tools division. Campbell’s current projects and interests include extreme scale data processing and programmatic data services."

Here we chat about David's history at Microsoft, the work he does (and has done) in SQL Server's core processing and storage engines, the history and future of general purpose databases and an introduction to our cloud data services platform (marketing came up with the sexy "SQL Server Data Services" name...).

Service Oriented Architecture, Software as a Service, Software + Services, Enterprise Service Bus, I

Charles — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 22:45:32 GMT

At TechED 2007 Developer, I was lucky enough to get to spend some time in the Virtual TechED Fishbowl with Connected Systems team members Steve Swartz and Clemens Vasters and professional speaker/author David Chappell.

Steve, David and Clemens are a great trio to get together for heady conversation. For one thing, Steve and Clemens are experts in the area of digital communication software machinery (things like Internet Service Bus, Enterprise Service Bus, WCF, Software + Services, etc, you know "connected systems" and the underlying componentry that make it possible for distributed software systems(that are often unrelated in terms of platform technology) to communicate effectively and efficiently).

David has some great perspectives on many aspects of technology and he's regarded as one of the best technical speakers around. So, who better to get together than these three stars to dig into the notion of software services and finally explain what the hell "Software + Services" means and how it relates to Internet/Enterprise Service Bus, WCF, SOA (David provides a great definition for SOA in this interview), REST, etc. Is there really one definition for "service"? If not, why not? Service sures seems to be an overloaded terminology...

John Shewchuk and Dennis Pilarinos: BizTalk Services Explained

Charles — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 19:27:05 GMT

In this video, James Conard talks with John Shewchuk and Dennis Pilarinos about BizTalk Services.

In the simplest definition, BizTalk Services simplifies application connectivity by extending WCF and providing a set of hosted services. John and Dennis quickly explain BizTalk Services by discussing the challenges with building applications today. Dennis also shows four demos of BizTalk Services and then drops into Visual Studio along the way to show the programming model.

Service Oriented Thinking

justinjsmith — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 23:31:45 GMT

In the web services community, few terms are as loaded as "Service Orientation" (or SOA, or SO). Over time, the term has become so convulted that it's hard to identlfy its real meaning. My conversations with developers and architects tends to support that theory. In this screencast, I describe service orientation in practical terms and highlight the role WCF plays in building service oriented applications. It is my hope that the concepts I outline remove much of the fog that has collected around service orientation / SOA, and also help illustrate the role WCF plays in the service oriented arena.

ARCast.net - More Service Oriented Infrastructure with Mark Baciak (Part 2)

Ron Jacobs — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 15:26:54 GMT

So you have a web service now what? Who is using it? What happens if you need to shut it down, version it, update it? How will you manage the dependencies that others have on your service and how will you know if you have enough capacity in place to handle the load tomorrow? Creating a web service is easy. Creating a mission critical, enterprise wide service is not trivial. On this episode Mark Baciak and I finish the second half of our discussion on service oriented infrastructure.
