Using WCF RIA Services without Silverlight in Visual Studio 2010 for building 3 tier ASP.NET Applications

Posted: 14 Dec 2009 12:09 PM PST

I have been playing with the WCF RIA Services (erstwhile .NET RIA Services) for sometime and found that most of the samples out there focus on Silverlight based applications. While the new WCF RIA Services preview for VS 2010 is awesome in terms of its Silverlight integration, I also wanted to test out on building plain vanilla ASP.NET Applications and using the power of WCF RIA Services to build a middle tier for the same. Ok, to begin with, I already had Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 installed and went ahead and installed the WCF RIA Services Preview for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 (note that, if you already have the WCF RIA Services for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installed, this doesn't install on top of it – so you have to chose whether to use the...(read more)

Back in Business

Posted: 14 Dec 2009 01:28 AM PST

Yeah, the past few days have been a pretty low moment for me and this blog. Long story short, on December 11, a hard-drive failure took down the managed dedicated server which hosts my blog among other sites. ( The following image is a dramatization of actual events and is not the actual hard drive ) This is a server that Jeff Atwood and I share (we each host a Virtual Server on the machine), thus all of the following sites were brought down by the hardware malfunction: http://haacked.com/ http://codinghorror.com/ http://subtextproject.com/ http://blog.stackoverflow.com/ http://fakeplasticrock.com/ That list doesn't include my personal Subversion server ( yes, I'm planning to switch to GitHub for that ).
