Windows 8 and the future of XAML: Part 4: Contracts in WinRT/Windows 8(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by KMillerr(2072) 1 month, 17 days ago

In the previous article of this series, Gill Cleeren wrote the first lines of code for WinRT. The main message was that although WinRT is a new API, we can still use our familiar languages to create Metro style applications. We have used the XAML/C# combination, but it’s perfectly possible to use XAML/VB or XAML/C++ as well. We’ll be using more of the API in the coming articles but in this article, we’ll focus on some specifics around contracts, more specifically, the Search contract. Contracts enable Metro applications to communicate with each other or with Windows itself without there being a hard reference in place. read more...

67% of ASP.NET websites have serious config related vulnerabilities(www.troyhunt.com)

submitted by troyhunt(831) 1 month, 24 days ago

Actually, it’s even worse than that – it’s really 67.37%. It’s an alarmingly high number for what amounts to very simple configuration vulnerabilities. The numbers come courtesy of ASafaWeb, the Automated Security Analyser for ASP.NET Websites which is a free online scanner at asafaweb.com. Let me walk you through these results and offer a bit of insight as to where things are going wrong when ASP.NET web sites are published. Hopefully this will be a bit of a “call to action” which helps developers understand where they might need to do a bit of tweaking in their apps. read more...

Why Many Developers Hate ASP.NET and Why They’re Wrong (net.tutsplus.com)

submitted by pwhe23(972) 5 months, 20 days ago

Few platforms draw the same amount of ire as ASP.NET (or .NET in general) from the development community. While there are certainly valid criticisms of the platform (what platform doesn't?), the majority of negativity comes from those who haven't spent any time with .NET. Those developers typically rely on misconceptions or flat out hatred to base their opinion, and they do a disservice to others looking to learn a new technology and to the platform itself. So, let's examine these excuses and add a dose of reality on why you shouldn't listen to the rabble and give ASP.NET a try. read more...
