Feed Description: Scott Hanselman's ComputerZen.com is a .NET/WebServices/XML Weblog. I offer details of obscurities (internals of ASP.NET, WebServices, XML, etc) and best practices from real world scenarios.
Be there or be seriously square. We're at DevCon5 - The
Applied XML Developer's Conference! (That's DevCon, not DEFCON :) )
It's only $345 for 2 full days of sessions! It'll be at Skamania this year which
is about 40 mins from PDX. The conference is 20-Oct and 21-Oct.
The list of folks speaking is crazy. Tim Bray (co-inventor of XML), Don Box, Tim Ewald,
Ted Neward, Jeff Barr from Amazon.com, Doug Purdy (XmlSerialization), and many
more.
Sneaking into this list of literati are the humble Patrick
Cauldwell and myself (this is his second time speaking at a DevCon, this
is my first) giving a session on the first day of the 'Con.
We'll be talking about the Corillian project that we've been working on for the last
year or so. Corillian, the company we work for, enables folks to bank via the
web. Roughly 25% of the people in the U.S. who bank online are using Corillian
software. It's all Microsoft, lots of XML, and lately, lots of .NET and
XML.
Often a development team wont pay attention to a Word Document, but a compiler
error will get their attention. By extending XSD and WSDL with custom attributes and
custom code generation, we can enforce contracts between development teams to reduce
development time. XSD.EXE maps a declarative syntax one-to-one to a programmatic instance
of the same thing. However, if your business requirements can be captured in a schema
document and annotated, why not generated as many source artifacts as you can?
