Web Application Development with Microsoft Technologies

A good reading that came in the latest MSDN newsletter, about security aspects that you would need to have in mind when using SOA in large enterprise architectures.

 It covers alternatives for authentication (centralized repository for storing the keys), placing the security logic, risks of having a coupled solution, using Sharepoint as a tool for isolating islands of data, magnified security issues that might arrive with a large-scale SOA approach, and other new concepts and trends that worth a read.

You can find the SOA article here. 

In some large scale scenarios I would consider having REST in place instead. There is a new model from MS that will help us to build REST applications faster. If you’d like to read about it, its code name is ASTORIA.

 I hope you like it.
