I came across Jeffrey Schlimmer's blog today. At first I was glad I stopped over there. On one of his blogs, he writes:
To a novice like me, security algorithms seem like they're driven by detailed cat-and-mouse games; here's a lucid description of such games motivating Kerberos
After going through the dialogue he points to on Kerberos, I am not sure if I am too happy I stopped by his blog. Now I want all the CLR books, dialogue based similar to the one on Kerberos. For the actors, I won't mind Don Box or Chris Sells. Check out some of their past work here (scroll down for that most famous photograph)...:)
Some days back Don Box pointed out to this excellent discussion by Aaron Skonnard. I bookmarked it then and got a chance only today to go through all the three articles. I must say all of these are a must-must read for all of us working with various XML API's presented by the .Net Framework. In the first part, he discusses the tradeoffs between XML API's for both reading and writing XML documents. The Second and third part describes choosing the right API's for reading and writing XML documents with the help of code examples.
In a single day so many people have blogged about SharpReader. Not to be left behind, I tried it out. Guess what, it rocks. Best part of this RSS aggregator is great OPML support and ability to read threaded blog posts. Too cool !!
