Entities and Repositories Discussion(rosscode.com)

submitted by ang3lfir3ang3lfir3(660) 3 years, 8 months ago

Earlier today, there was a great discussion in an IRC channel about entities and whether they should have behaviors or not, and that eventually moved onto Repositories. It's a good discussion and after it was over, several of us felt it would be a good reference for later. Since I have a log of the conversation, I figured I'd repost it for future reference. Hopefully, you'll find it a good read as well. read more...

The WPF ah-ha Moment(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by ScottWScottW(320) 3 years, 9 months ago

In nearly every bit of WPF training material or weblog there is some reference to the "ah-ha" moment. The point at which all the new concepts you've been learning gel into a cohesive unit. For me, that moment was one or two months after I started developing WPF in earnest (by which I mean for users other than myself). The task was to display two different indicators of a business metric, a green up arrow and a red down arrow. read more...

Scraping, or Programatically Accessing, a Secure Webpage(ryanfarley.com)

submitted by StanJacksonStanJackson(395) 3 years, 9 months ago

There are many secure websites out there that provide useful information but do not have a public API to access it's data. A prime example of this is the LinkedIn website. You might love to gather some info from LinkedIn, but their promise to deliver a public API has yet to come to fruition. The problem is, the pages with all the good data are secure, requiring the user to log in before accessing these pages. Let's say we want to scrape this data from these pages programatically? We need to authenticate to access these pages. We can do that by reusing the authentication cookie from the site that we receive when we log in with a browser. read more...
