Thanks Ryan! Glad you liked it.

Re: What REST APIs do you consume in your apps?

In case you didn't see my reply on Twitter....it will be open source. I'm hoping to get a first release out next week.

The project is a framework to enable you to easily build strongly-typed representations of REST APIs. Feel free to email me about your API and I'll take a look at it.

Re: Reimagining www.asp.net, Part Three: The Community Experience

johnsheehan — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:31:16 -0000

Definitely both. There's value from extracting trending topics and links from the aggregate and presenting a summary of them. I wouldn't necessarily display every tweet from everyone that occasionally tweets about ASP.NET. I would complement that with topical tweets as well to surface new people and viewpoints. Or you can get value out of picking a select group like managedassembly.com/twitter which has a pretty high signal to noise ratio. I don't know which would work best on a site like www.asp.net with the size of the audience it has.

Yeah I'll cover filtering the Twitter feed in Part 3 when I talk about the community stuff. That feed will be modeled after the .NET Twitter Stream I built at http://managedassembly.com/twitter

I like the video idea as well.

Re: True RSS Feed Bankrupcy : averyBlog

Twitter probably helps to because if it's worth seeing/reading, it will probably come across your stream at some point. That lets me ignore some popular blogs in my feed reader and just wait for them to surface on Twitter (and HN). Awhile ago I stopped subscribing to /., digg/technology and TechCrunch and I don't think since unsubscribing I've missed a post there that would be interesting to me.

Re: Things I learned about ASP.NET MVC 2 at the jQuery Conference

johnsheehan — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:05:55 -0000

Scott & Kazi,
You are correct about the placement and I should have mentioned that I was aware of the performance reasons for putting it there. I don't have any issue with the placement in itself, other than the HtmlHelper that's putting it there is not in the same place as the code. This signals to me that they're going down the road of starting to abstract away what's going on under the covers and I don't want to go down that road again. It's not a big deal though, just something I found curious. With a more descriptive name of what the method is doing, I'm on board.

Re: Building a simple voicemail system with Twilio and ASP.NET MVC, Part 1

johnsheehan — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 23:23:17 -0000

I would post this question to http://www.twilio.com/forum/ as I'm not
familiar with the MSXML2 semantics.

Hey Andy, thanks for the info. I might give it another try if I get some time. I've been using ASP.NET MVC almost exclusively for about 6 months now and I love it.

Hi Hamed. You should submit an issue at

The WordPress plugin syncs any Disqus comments with the built-in comment system, so when Google hits your page, they get the same comments, just in WordPress form instead of Disqus form. http://blog.disqus.net/2008/08/12/introducing-t...

Chris, care to elaborate on the last comment?

Re: Thoughts on SubSonic Management : Rob Conery

johnsheehan — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 00:57:46 -0000

UserVoice is great for feature requests, but really lacking for bug reporting and question/answer.

Re: Thoughts on SubSonic Management : Rob Conery

johnsheehan — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 00:57:12 -0000

Great minds think alike, I was just going to email the SO team with that same suggestion. I've been following that tag for awhile and trying to help out where I can. One area SO is not so good for handling discussion topics related to the project that aren't necessarily problems with specific answers.

As far as management goes, did you think about the Google Code/Codeplex issue? Can you get away with going to just one? I think having a centralized source for code and docs would be a big win, and Google Code looks superior to Codeplex right now for those things. And it would definitely be nice to have a Google Group for contributors.

Re: SLOOB vs. AIR : Simpable

johnsheehan — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 14:36:33 -0000

The WPF to AIR comparison is invalid. AIR is like Core CLR and WPF is like Flash/Flex (UI framework). I think Stewart has it right on. There's some functional overlap, but they're not direct competitors yet.

I don't believe WordPress allows duplicate slugs.

Thanks for the link. I've tried a couple different methods for
formatting code and I didn't like any of them, so I just went with 'pre'
tags. I'll try out your site next time.

Thanks Elad. Do you have any data to back up that performance claim?
