Clemens Vasters - TechnologyIt's 2008. Where's my flying car?Wrapping up the FABRIQ- June 22, 2004 Achim and myself are currently in a series of very quick rev-cycles for the first public release of the Microsoftnewtelligence FABRIQ project that we did with and for Microsoft EMEA HQ and that was conceived, driven and brillantly managed by my architect colleague Arvindra Sehmi, who gave me the lead architect role for this project. ReminderDisclaimer: this is not a product, but rather a pretty elaborate "how-to" architecture example that comes with an.http://vasters.com/clemensv/PermaLink,guid,7eb75a87-bfaa-4ec1-b496-f2c59bc06777.aspx The SQL Goddess Blogs- June 8, 2004 You read it here first.

The amount of knowledge you need to have and the number APIs you need to use in order to lock down a Web service or Enterprise Services application programmatically at installation time in order to have it run under an isolated user account (with a choice of local or domain account) that has the precise rights to do what it needs to do (but nothing else) is absolutely...http://vasters.com/clemensv/PermaLink,guid,2639bfcf-a32a-4326-b49e-0ebd919d1675.aspx XP SP2 is the Y2K of Windows- June 5, 2004 It's inevitable, its security improvements are absolutely necessary and it might break your code. I would strongly suggest that you install a test box with XP SP2 now if you haven't already done so. I've had some interesting surprises today.http://vasters.com/clemensv/PermaLink,guid,0a7b5d89-d0b1-41eb-9e15-dcc8637e96a5.aspx SQL Server Best Practices Analyzer- June 3, 2004 If you are even nearly as ignorant as every other developer including myself about any administrative aspect of SQL Server 2000 beyond the default install, this tool may be for you.

At this point in time, I really only ever use them inside a service and only at times when I am horribly lazy or when I code under the influence. Otherwise I just go through the rather quick and mostly painless process of mapping plain data structures (generated from schema) to and from stored procedure calls myself. More control, more interoperability, less weight. I really like when my code precisely states how my app...http://vasters.com/clemensv/PermaLink,guid,896f4b48-2189-49f6-83b1-1b9d0e691ef8.aspx |
