Last week I visited JamBase.com , a San Francisco-based website that is all about finding and going to live music performances. I met Andy and his colleauges at the Bandwidth Conference this summer and after hearing about their new API, I just had to try doing a mashup with it using Popfly - I wrote about it on my blog here . Because their site runs on ASP.net with SQL Server, I wanted to sit down with Andy Gadiel, the founder to have a chat. Read More...

The last screencast (I think) from me about Authentication in SharePoint. In this screencast I build a MemberShipProvider that is checking the users against an XML file instead of a SQL database ("using virtually no code at all"). I build it in ASP.NET 2.0, use it that site and then show you how easy it is to move it over to SharePoint. This webcast builds on the previous ones, Forms Authentication with SharePoint (in English) and Authentication Provider .Net 2.0 Out Of The Box . Yeah, I know the code speaks for itself, but this time I made it in english anyway. Enjoy! Read More...
