It's great to hear that Marc Canter is writing a book, called 'How to build the Open Mesh'. He's been working for years on this vision with his product PeopleAggregator. He's just posted the four Appendices that conclude the book in his blog. It's a great overview of the major web platforms: Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft Mesh, and Facebook/MySpace. Here are Marc's comments, via his post, and you can click the images to see the diagrams. ...

There are a couple things to consider here. First, entity objects are very much NOT business objects. They are primarily defined by the data they contain, not the behaviors they encapsulate. EF is about entities, CSLA is about business objects. Second, fully tying CSLA to EF may be possible in a future version of EF. But in EF 1.0 things are pretty restrictive and the capabilities really aren't there. That's not to say they won't ...

So I have this friend. I've told him time and time again how dangerous XSS vulnerabilities are, and how XSS is now the most common of all publicly reported security vulnerabilities -- dwarfing old standards like buffer overruns and SQL injection. But will he listen? No. He's hard headed. He had to go and write his own HTML sanitizer. Because, well, how difficult can it be? How dangerous could this silly little toy scripting language ...

manca un punto, poter accedere ai cookie tramite javascript può servire a proteggersi da XSRF.HttpOnly cookies impediscono questa difesa ma non impediscono XSS, 'bloccano' (lui stesso parla dei buchi nelle attuali implementazioni) solo l'acceso a un'informazione delle tante disponibili a un javascript iniettato. Un esempio banale, il codice attaccante può sempre simulare una finestra di login falsa all'interno di una pagina valida...

When you tag a cookie with the HttpOnly flag, it tells the browser that this particular cookie should only be accessed by the server. Any attempt to access the cookie from client script is strictly forbidden.

You may have noticed that my posting frequency has declined over the last three weeks. That's because I've been busy building that Stack Overflow thing we talked about. It's going well so far. Joel Spolsky also seems to think it's going well, but he's one of the founders so he's clearly biased. For what it's worth, Robert Scoble was enthused about Stack Overflow, though it did not make him cry. Still, I was humbled by ...

Unit Testing is one of the pillars of Agile Software Development. First introduced by Kent Beck, unit testing has found its way into the hearts and systems of many organizations. Unit tests help engineers reduce the number of bugs, hours spent on debugging, and contribute to healthier, more stable software. In this post we look at a dozen unit testing tips that software engineers can apply, regardless of their programming language or environment. 1. Unit ...

Occasionally people will ask me what kind of music I like to code by. I'm not sure I am the right person to ask this question of. Allow me to explain by citing my 2001 Amazon review of a particular album. It all started so innocently. I purchased this CD on a lark in mid 1998. Subsequently, I put on this CD at high volume to torture my then-coworkers. It became a running joke. We'd ...

One of my favorite aspects of product design is the feedback mechanism. When I think of feedback, I think fundamentally about the car dashboard. Nearly every action that a driver makes in a car is responded to with one or more forms of feedback whether audible, tactile or visual. When turning into a left lane, the driver will (hopefully) use the turn signal lever to indicate the change of lanes. Pulling the lever anti-clockwise will ...

Microsoft today unveiled video footage of an exercise called the Mojave Experiment, where unwitting Windows users were tricked into watching a Vista demo while told it was something else. The experiment's subjects were all people who had a negative impression of Vista but no personal experience with it. One short demo later almost all of them reported a far more favorable impression of the operating system "Mojave" than they held of Vista. The videos are ...

This is absolutely hilarious!!! I honestly like the OS experience but just hate the lack of stability and incredible slow pace of transferring files to a different medium. When trying to burn a DVD it informed me that there was only 3 DAYS REMAINING until it would be completed. Aside from that it's a pretty good experience.

Here’s an interesting experiment. Imagine what the reaction would be if a different CEO, one who isn’t worshipped as a man-god by a small but vocal portion of the world’s population, did what Steve Jobs just did to Joe Nocera. Imagine, for example, that instead of Steve Jobs we were talking about Steve Ballmer. Imagine Ballmer appeared in public having lost an incredible amount of weight, looking seventy years old and about one hundred and ...
