  • Telesharp – An Application Repository for .NET applications

    A year ago, we released SO-Aware as our first product in Tellago Studios. SO-Aware represented a new way to manage web services and all the related artifacts like configuration, tests or monitoring data in the Microsoft stack. It was based on the idea of using a lightweight SOA governance approach with a central repository exposed through RESTful services.

  • Interop Bindings for WCF released in codeplex

    I am happy to announce that one of the projects in which Microsoft and Tellago have been collaborating together during the last few months was released as part of wcf.codeplex.com. The primary aim of this “WCF Interop Bindings” project is to simplify the work needed for making WCF services interoperable with other service stacks like Oracle WebLogic, IBM Websphere, Metro or Apache Axis. 

  • To push, or not to push, the Web Socket dilemma

    Web Sockets is a relatively new specification introduced as part of HTML 5 to support a full duplex-communication channel over http in web browsers.  This  represents a great advance toward real-time and event driven web applications. Before Web Sockets jumped in scene, the only available  solutions for emulating real time notifications in web applications were different variants of Http Long polling. Real time notifications in this context became particularly important for specific scenarios, such as reporting stock pricing updates, online gaming or news reports to name a few.

  • Pub/Sub in the cloud–A brief comparison between Azure Service Bus and PubNub

    Publish/Subscribe in the cloud has became relatively important lately as an integration pattern for business to business scenarios between organizations.

The cloud infrastructure allows this intermediary service to scale correctly as the number of publishers or subscribers increase, and also to act as a firewall for brokering the communication (Publishers or subscribers need explicit permissions to connect, send or receive messages from the intermediary service).
