How I understood monads, part 1/2: sleepless and self-loathing in Seattle

Posted: 16 Jun 2010 01:14 AM PDT

For some time now, I had been noticing some interest for monads, mostly in the form of unintelligible (to me) blog posts and comments saying "oh, yeah, that's a monad" about random stuff as if it were absolutely obvious and if I didn't know what they were talking about, I was probably an uneducated idiot, ignorant about the simplest and most fundamental concepts of functional programming. Fair enough, I am pretty much exactly that. Being the kind of guy who can spend eight years in college just to understand a few interesting concepts about the universe, I had to check it out and try to understand monads so that I too can say "oh, yeah, that's a monad".

RIA Services and Authorization

Posted: 16 Jun 2010 12:38 AM PDT

This post digs deeper into the Book Club application from the perspective of the authorization feature of RIA Services. You can check out more information about the application via its associated table of contents post. The post covers how the out-of-box authorization rules can be applied, how custom rules that can be implemented, how custom rules can use additional bits of information in their implementation, and how client-side UI can be customized to account for authorization. The sample application has been updated, so you might want to download the latest release of the code from the RIA Services Essentials project on CodePlex or browse the checkin history .
