Earlier I wrote about the problems of a common authentication approach. Today, I’m going to do a quick demonstration how to set up forms authentication to secure a web app with an oData service and how to use forms authentication to connect to the service from a wpf client.

I was really surprised when notice the mass of encryption software available on the market. There is various options and features which such software can serve and they are quite neatly described on Wikipedia.
During software application development there is always a moment when user manual an help content must be written. Choosing appropriate tool for that is very important and decides about help creating and updating process speed. Help format is as important as the help itself and must be easily accessible from the application and convenient for the end user.

If a certain container does not have a specific platform listed, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s not possible to use it there – it just means that it’s not in the box.

After spending quite some time on it, I was pretty depressed – one would imagine, that a topic so common has already been handled in a standardized, common and comfortable (both for the user and the developer) way – well, it hasn’t, or do I demand to much?
By eidias on (tags: authentication, categories: architecture)In a previous post, I tried to describe what inversion of control is. Here, we’ll take a look at the design pattern that helps with it.
By eidias on (tags: IoC, categories: architecture)There are two terms that have been loudly spoken for a while now IoC (Inversion of Control) and DI (Dependency Injection). In this post, I’ll try to sketch a picture of what these terms actually mean.
