<Aside>This is good time to remind everyone that I don't work for PluralSight and they are not responsible for the content of this blog. Aaron Skonnard (who does work for PluralSight) graciously offered me this spot with the only proviso being that...

Wherein our narrator makes a fortuitous discovery in a most unexpected place. One of the struggles I face in trying to explain my objections to the Indigo API is creating concrete examples of the abstract, and sometimes seemingly abstruse, notion I have...

In the comments, a couple of folks have responded to my criticisms of Indigo by suggesting alternative technologies for building distributed applications. I'm not looking for alternatives to Indigo. I'm working towards a better Indigo. I'm convinced that...

Tom Fuller left a great comment on my last post. Mostly, it reminded me that I ought to be just as explicit about what's great about Indigo as I am about what's not so great. To answer Tom's specific question, the point of all this negativity is to influence...

Steve is still confused , so I thought I would spell it all out for him. The examples, especially the accursed Calculator example that's infected MSDN. The worst part is not that it is stupid and inane (right, you're going to go across the network to...

Steve Maine responds to my rant against attributes with some interesting and quite revealing comments about the centrality of attributes to the Indigo programming model. I'll leave aside the assumption that I want a new language, as I've already dealt...

In the comments to my last post, Bruce Williams (from the Indigo team) asks: Would it be accurate to say that you are (reasonably) satisfied with the _features_ of Indigo, but you don't want to use C# (as it exists today), but would prefer some mix of...

Rich Turner replies and I'm more confused than ever. He's wearing his Indigo-colored glasses and misreads just about everything I wrote. I'll leave aside the SOA discussion for now and concentrate on Indigo. I'll try to make this as plain as I can. I...

Rich Turner doesn't believe SOA exists and challenges SOA advocates to draw him a picture: This applies to anyone out there - if you've got an architecture that will help solve real business problems, then show me the picture. Don't list products to me...
