Creating an OData API for StackOverflow including XML and JSON in 30 minutes

Creating an OData API for StackOverflow including XML and JSON in 30 minutes


Creating an OData API for StackOverflow including XML and JSON in 30 minutes

Posted: 28 Mar 2010 10:29 AM PDT

I emailed Jeff Atwood last night a one line email. "You should make a StackOverflow API using OData." Then I realized that, as Linus says, Talk is Cheap, Show me the Code. So I created an initial prototype of a StackOverflow API using OData on an Airplane. I allocated the whole 12 hour flight. Unfortunately it took 30 minutes so I watched movies the rest of the time. You can follow along and do this yourself if you like. Preparation Before I left for my flight, I downloaded two things. First, I got Sam Saffron's "So Slow" StackOverflow SQL Server Importer . This is a little spike of Sam's that takes the 3gigs of XML Dump Files from StackOverflow's monthly dump and imports it into SQL Server. If you care, that...(read more)

.NET 4 Web Application Startup Time

Posted: 28 Mar 2010 07:19 AM PDT

I was chatting with Jonathan Hawkins and some of the folks on the ASP.NET team about performance and Jonathan mentioned the startup time for large ASP.NET applications is improved on .NET 4. There are some improvements in the CLR and in ASP.NET itself that helped. If you have a giant app, you should do some tests. The word from the ASP.NET team is that you'll see improvements when the .NET framework (CLR) is warm in memory but the Web App is cold on disk . This is for shared hosting scenarios where the web server is loading and unloading web applications while .NET remains in memory. Web App Name NETFX3.5 SP1 NETFX4 Change Change as % of NETFX3.5 blogengine 1.959s 1.702s (0.256s) -13.08% dasblog 3.151s 2.818s (0.333s) -10.58% dotnetnuke...(read more)
