Today, many applications on the Internet expose an API which can be consumed by everyone using a web browser or a mobile application on their smartphone or tablet. How would you build your API if you want these apps to be a full-fledged front-end to your service without compromising security? Maarten explains how. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/147914/protecting-your-aspnet-web-api-using-oauth2-and-the-windows-azure-access-control-service/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/147914/protecting-your-aspnet-web-api-using-oauth2-and-the-windows-azure-access-control-service/ Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:51:00 GMT Maarten Balliauw Say that each time the user clicks on a menu item in your application, the entire page is refreshed. Not such a big deal if you have a high speed connection, but, if there is a lot of content on the page, this can be a problem. What we need is the ability to fill in the partial view of data and change around the styles on the page without refreshing the complete page. This is where the HTML5 History API comes in, and that’s what this article based on HTML5 for .NET Developers is all about. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145920/using-html5-history-in-an-aspnet-mvc-site/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145920/using-html5-history-in-an-aspnet-mvc-site/ Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:56:00 GMT Dan Maharry Type Providers are a new core feature in F# 3.0, the latest version of F# released with Visual Studio 2012.

In this extract from Professional jQuery, Cesar Otero and Rob Larsen demonstrate how. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145905/using-javascript-unobtrusively/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145905/using-javascript-unobtrusively/ Thu, 13 Sep 2012 22:05:00 GMT Dan Maharry In this article, Ravi introduces the Model-View-Presenter pattern for Web Forms development, and how it compares to MVC.

Ravi Kiran Working with threads gets complicated quickly as you work to stop them falling over each other. One way to organise threads so that they co-operate without tripping over each other is to use a messaging mechanism to communicate between them. John Rivett-Carnac looks at one such implementation of internal application messaging. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145371/an-internal-application-message-bus-in-vbnet/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145371/an-internal-application-message-bus-in-vbnet/ Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:27:00 GMT John Rivett-Carnac ListViews are a fundamental component in Android UIs and are used extensively. In this article, based on a technique presented in Android UI, the author discusses expanding the ListViews’ functionality so a basic list can be made into a really useful list. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145373/android-listviews-with-dynamic-data/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145373/android-listviews-with-dynamic-data/ Sun, 29 Jul 2012 23:51:00 GMT Dan Maharry In this extract from Professional Javascript for Web Developers, Nicholas Zakas looks at the new Javascript Drag and Drop API in HTML5, its use and current level of browser support http://www.developerfusion.com/article/144828/the-html5-drag-and-drop-api/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/144828/the-html5-drag-and-drop-api/ Fri, 20 Jul 2012 06:57:00 GMT Dan Maharry Xavier Decoster demonstrates how to incorporate the creation and reuse of NuGet Packages into your Continuous Integration build setup using TeamCity http://www.developerfusion.com/article/144809/continuous-integration-using-nuget-and-teamcity/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/144809/continuous-integration-using-nuget-and-teamcity/ Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:26:00 GMT Xavier Decoster In this article, Martin Beeby highlights five new features of Windows 8 that developers should know about. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/144522/windows-8-5-things/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/144522/windows-8-5-things/ Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:52:00 GMT The Roslyn API is a major step forward for developers who want that intimate view of code.
