Thanks! I will look at updating the Azure section for 2013.
The architecture courses are amazingly popular. I’ll suggest a few more to the Pluralsight team- see what they go for. Thanks for the suggestion!

Congrats on the new position, i’m just about to dive into your Pluralsight course on .NET Distributed Systems Architecture.

Will you be doing any similar courses, or updating the Azure section of the course at all to reflect new changes since 2010?

Comment on Calling an STA COM Object from a WCF Operation by Scott Seely

the thread “dies” when the processing ends and the code rejoins execution. If we send a response back, that thread is a goner.

In this way ,are you sure the thread will be kill when it works on an wcf request?
Looks like this ,if i creat a thread by the sta(thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);) ,when the request is over , but the activex is not be relese ,so ,i can not make it work good in the Multi thread, some times it will say ” Memory can not read or write ”
By the way you say ,that error is not appear ?(i Recursive call webbrowser )
activex can not release it by oueselves?
in the last ,i make the Connection number in wcf is 1 ,i hope the error is will not appear

Comment on Revisiting REST Versioning by Robert

Thanks for the post. The team I am working with hadn’t really been thinking about providing an SDK, but that will solve the concern about difficulty of using content negotiation.

Comment on Directing Service Bus to Communicate on HTTP Only by tschaena

Hi Scott

In our corporate network changing the ConnectivityMode to Http and having all the proxy settings correct is unfortunately not enough to get ServiceBus running. Our web proxy server seems to be incompatible with ServiceBus SDK 1.7 (either HTTP post or get chunking seems to be unsupported). The same incompatibly is noticed when running Fiddler in an open network: Even with Fiddler’s web proxy implementation, ServiceBus is not working.

According to the answer provided by Todd Reifsteck (http://stackoverflow.com/a/12293113/1415575) I assume our issues are based on the fact that SDK 1.7 is not yet capable to work with our proxy scenario (which I would guess is a typical real world scenario!). I’m looking forward to SDK 1.8 and hope that it is released soon since this proxy incompatibility is a real road-blocker for us.

Comment on Calling an STA COM Object from a WCF Operation by Jeremias Nuñez

Hey Scott

Great article. I was wondering if this would work on the new WCF Data Services? I have a Service Operation in which I need to instantiate a STA COM object (specifically, a Canvas object), so I did some googling around and came up with this.

I haven’t tested it, though. Do you think it will work without any major refactoring?

Thanks a million.

Comment on Amazon SimpleDB Domain Names by Simple DB Explorer (@sdbexplorer)

Simple DB Explorer (@sdbexplorer) — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 05:05:37 +0000

Domain names need to be enclosed in back-tick quotes if they contains any special characters. Attribute and domain names may appear without quotes if they contain only letters, numbers, underscores (_), or dollar symbols ($) and do not start with a number. You must quote all other attribute and domain names with the backtick (`).
