Spent the last week in Orlando. That's one of the reasons why the blog went dead for the week. I spoke at the Microsoft Eastern Strategic Architect Forum about Web Services. Then the family and I spent another 4 days doing the Disney theme parks. Exausting to say the least. Still had a great time.
I also picked up some publications from the Patterns and Practices group that I had never seen before. One was a pocket guide to Improving Web Application Security: Threats and Countermeasures called the “Pocket Guide to Improving Web Security”. There was another book, that was based on the Enterprise Solution Patterns using Microsoft.NET, version 2.0 called “Software patterns: Organzing and Testing“. I have looked around the net to see if there has been any others published, but didn't find anything. These books are a condensed versions, and cover the main points of the books they derive from, I like the format.
