MEST, an operation, and the role of contracts
The discussion on MEST started again thanks to a recent entry by Jim. Mark makes some valid observations in his comment to Jim’s entry. I would like to clarify a couple of things: MEST is an architectural style and as such it is not tightly associated to SOAP. The relationship between MEST and SOAP is…

A generic class for implementing protocol handlers in Indigo
In my “Indigo adventures” post I showed how one could write a new channel which can be used to implement a WS-* protocol. After watching the Indigo SDR content, I still think this to be the recommended way of implementing an infrastructure protocol (even though I am still not absolutely certain… Indigo folks may correct…

Indigo SDR content
All the content from the last Indigo Software Design Review (SDR) is now available online. I wish I knew about this before getting inside Indigo on my own.

Indigo adventures
Those interested in Indigo would have probably seen by now the many introductory posts on how to write services, use bindings, use output/input channels, service/message/data contracts, etc. The Indigo community is doing a fantastic job to provide examples of how to use Microsoft‘s new technology for distributed computing. As everyone else, as soon as I…
