Fiddler tricks

Capture from localhost by changing your page URL to 127.0.0.1. (the ending dot is required). Example http://127.0.0.1.:8080/mypage.html

Slides from the Advanced Fiddler session - Very cool stuff. http://fiddler2.com/mix

I think it could actually be used for automated stress testing.

Rest webservices

One twist I just picked up on is that the operations are implied thus
not defined by contract explicitly. Inq, upd, del would not showup as
verbs in the operation. Ex Cust is the contract. Opposed to CustInq.
It is the idea that Cust is the object and get, put, post infer the
verb from the web service point of view. Not advocating it, just
trying to get my head around it. Seem popular in the M$ camp.

Infragistics cotrols

There is great oppourtunity to stock up on licenses now. Meaning in
the next 30 to 60 days. Ballpark $600 giving us win/wpf. Around May
they are repacking the bundles grandfathering us into a win/wpf/asp/
silverlight license package. Sweet, now explaining this to purchasing.
