A couple of weeks ago I found an article by Ryan Day about implementing the Nasdaq ITCH protocol in python. I was really excited about this because I had always thought the barriers to entry for writing a program relating to the stock market would be very high. Turns out writing an application for stock [...]

Note: As with everything in an open source project (and especially one which is pre-1.0), things may change. I’ll attempt to keep this article up to date or link to updated articles if things change with the usage of FubuContinuation. Sometimes instead of simply rendering a view from your action, I need to redirect the user to another [...]

A pattern that’s regularly used with FubuMVC is the one model in, one model out pattern. This is also known as OMIOMO and, my personal favorite, the ”thunderdome” pattern. It took me a little while to understand why this pattern is in place and seems to be a gotcha when I come back to FubuMVC after [...]

When it comes to authorization, FubuMVC is very powerful in letting you setup extremely customizable rules for deciding who has access to what. Luckily, Joshua Arnold was able to help me get these rules setup and I’d like to document the process for everyone else. In this post, I’ll be going over how to write [...]

If you’re using FubuMVC and your site requires users to login, you’ll probably want to use the built in authentication facilities that FubuMVC provides. In this post, I’ll attempt to explain how this works. I’m going to write an authentication convention to block access to certain actions from unauthenticated users. Overview Come up with a [...]

I rebooted my computer this morning when I got into work and it was running pretty sluggish. I checked my processes and found the “VAIO Care” application was using almost 3GB of memory… Thanks a lot Sony, for caring so much.

The other day I was reading an article titled Grouponed to death? at The CX Rx. It hit a lot of points that I’ve always thought about these deal sites like Groupon, Living Social, and the 100′s of other clones that have been popping up. To put the rest of the article into context, it’s [...]

Every year or so I seem to have a post claiming that I’m going to start blogging again. Normally it coincides with my yearly hosting bill being due. This is another one of those posts, except this time I think it’s for real. Maybe? I hope so. More to come.

Today I was working on getting a partial view working properly in FubuMVC and started trying stumbling through it, very unsuccessfully. I ended up reaching out to Joshua Arnold for help with it. I’d like to share it with everyone that might be having trouble with them. The way we’re going to be doing our [...]

It’s going on nine months since my last update… I’m horrible about keeping my blog up to date.  Since I haven’t come up with a New Year’s Resolution, I’m going to go ahead and make this blog it.  Keeping it up to date and gaining readers.  ”But… we’re already five months into the year…” you [...]
