Lessons learned from static analysis of millions of lines of code


DataSet and the Session Object
Dino Esposito
Using out-of-process session state can make your ASP.NET app more robust, but the serialization involved can get costly, in both in performance bottlenecks and data-type conversion bloat
Pooling Database Connections
Mark Baker
How can I reuse connections to my SQL Server database to optimize performance?
Lightweight Collections from Web Service Methods
Dino Esposito
The DataSet object’s rich feature set makes it a popular data type in pure .NET projects, but if your web service needs to be truly interoperable, avoid DataSets and rely on a collection instead
A Double Take on .NET Notifications
Richard Grimes
.NET provides two types of notifications. The first, .NET events, are tightly coupled, efficient, and easy to write, but they aren’t flexible. The second style are loosely coupled .NET enterprise services (COM+), which provide better flexibility, but be warned: Coding them can get ugly
 

Op-Ed

Voice User Interfaces
The convergence of telephony and traditional desktop-based computer systems is an important market for just about every major software tool vendor. Microsoft is addressing that convergence with several new technologies.Securing Web Services
For developers adopting web services, security is a multifaceted challenge. Standards bodies, such as the W3C and OASIS, have devoted much effort over the last couple of years defining and redefining a number of specifications to address this challenge.

Improving Enterprise Performance with Business Rules: An overview of the business-rule-based approach to automating business logic and processes for J2EE application development
This paper provides an overview of the business-rule-based Versata approach to automating business logic and processes. It is an introduction covering key concepts, rather than a comprehensive discussion of Versata's Rules taxonomy.


AJAX & Rich Internet Applications: So What?
This is a PowerPoint presentation discussing what AJAX is and why is it important. It also discusses various programming and design considerations when building AJAX-based applications.


Using AJAX to Rapidly Deliver Rich Internet Applications
AJAX is changing web development. Dramatically. It brings levels of interactivity and usability to web applications that rival traditional client/server applications. This paper makes the case that AJAX applications are really 3-tier client/server applications and also covers what is needed to successful build AJAX applications.

Web Services and SOAP: A Developer's Roadmap
By Don Box, DevelopMentor. The .NET initiative is based on two fundamental premises: Managed execution of richly typed components (the Common Language Runtime) and cross-machine integration using Internet-standard protocols (Web Services). This session provides a roadmap to the latter, focusing on the core technologies used to integrate programs over the network. Topics to be discussed include HTTP programming, XML support in .NET, and the role of Schemas, SOAP, and WSDL. [606]Rethinking The Modern Operating System
Rick Rashid examines the reasons why our operating systems came to be designed the way they are and looks at how increasingly rapid changes in technology may allow us to rethink the operating system and user interface design.

Building Distributed Apps with the SOAP Toolkit : If you’ve wanted to write Internet distributed apps but lack executable access to your servers, XML and SOAP may provide what you’ve been looking for. It’s now easy to write very smart clients that talk to each other through not-too-smart servers. Walt describes building a distributed app in VB using Microsoft’s SOAP Toolkit to help with the heavy learning/lifting. Building Web Service Applications : Nandakumar examines the underlying principles of web services, then implements a crossword puzzle program as a web service using widely available technologies such as C++, HTTP, ODBC, ActiveX, and HTML. Manipulating Debug Trace Statements in Real Time : DTMan is a tool to change debug trace flags externally at run time in either Debug or Release builds. Examining DCOM Security : When it comes to distributed computing environments, information is more vulnerable to security problems than with standard desktop or client/server systems. So how does DCOM, Microsoft's approach to distributed computing, measure up when it comes to security? Our authors find out by applying to DCOM a security model based on the Trusted Computer Systems Evaluation Criteria.
