Techie Musings at the Towne Pub. Wednesday, March 17, 2010. SQL Server 2008: Allow users to save design changes that require tables to be dropped and re-created. I discovered today that SQL Server 2008 wants to save me from myself. While I appreciate the intent, I’m beyond salvation. I prefer productivity. Scenario: I tried to disable null values for a column in our development database, but SQL Server warned me that saving changes will require tables to be dropped and re-created:. Links to this post.

Jeff Townes: September 2009

Techie Musings at the Towne Pub. Sunday, September 20, 2009. Information architecture is required to deliver the promised value of SOA. Last month, I posted that “ SOA is limited in its ability to create value for an organization. Of the systems serve as a trustworthy system of record in real time. Developers respond by scheduling hourly (or even more frequent) sync jobs, and the architecture struggles to keep pace with the business demand for high-integrity data. So, what’s the solution?

Techie Musings at the Towne Pub. Monday, April 5, 2010. Defeating the Password Anti-Pattern with OpenID. Most websites provide registered users with access to some type of secure “members only” content, but they ask users to create a new username and password (and remember it each time they return). Unfortunately, we users can’t remember any more passwords. We can barely remember the usernames and passwords for the accounts we have already! Here’s how it works: When a user wishes to access ...Early th...

Techie Musings at the Towne Pub. Wednesday, February 18, 2009. Handy Link for the ASP.NET Page Lifecycle. Some of us have been building ASP.NET applications since the 1.0/1.1 days when we had to think about (and see) all of the event wiring in the code-behind pages. For developers that are learning ASP.NET web development today, some of the event wiring seems like “magic.”. Http:/ www.beansoftware.com/ASP.NET-Tutorials/Page-Life-Cycle.aspx.

Techie Musings at the Towne Pub. Saturday, June 21, 2008. Do Not Fool Yourself: Prototype! As developers, we get attached to our work because we take pride in our accomplishments. The trouble is that we get a little. Attached to progress and miss the bigger picture. We build prototypes to vet out our designs, test new technologies, and demonstrate concepts to our colleagues. But, we shouldn’t fool ourselves… prototypes are not production code. We’re just trying to rally everyone around a vision! Resist t...

Jeff Townes: August 2009
http://jtownes.parivedasolutions.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Techie Musings at the Towne Pub. Thursday, August 27, 2009. SOA: Does it deliver its promised value? Sent me a link to a David Chappell (the SOA expert, not the comedian) blog post titled “ Is SOA Failing. SOA is failing because services are (often) not reusable. The failure is largely human – technology can deliver, but humans struggle to design or consume services in that form. SOA works better when it delivers highly-technical services (e.g. identity management) or when it delivers raw data. To centra...
