With a new project we have, I was tasked with working on security. Initially, I used OWIN and cookie authentication to implement a simple login and all was good. However, we wanted to remove the ability to login and have it driven by an external site redirecting a user with a token.
Service Pattern for accessing an external Api
posted on February 5, 2016 by long2know in ASP.NET, Web
A friend of mine asked me earlier today what a good pattern for accessing an Api from within a class library would look like. In .NET, I generally like to wrap this type of functionality within a service that can be injected.

Earlier today I was playing around with Google’s Font API. I wanted to pull down OpenSans to host locally, but Google’s Font API is geared more toward utilizing Google’s hosting resources.

Continuing the discussion of integrating server-side validation with client-side validation, let’s check out a demo of this in action.
All of the Angular code for this demo has been moved to my general demo Github repository.
Deploying Node.js to Azure
posted on December 10, 2015 by long2know in Azure, node
If you recall my previous post on Node.js, I explored developing a Node.js app with Visual Studio. Using this approach makes it very easy to deploy and test with Visual Studio directly to Azure. However, I wanted to work with a more cross-platform approach using Visual Studio Code and continuous deployment with Azure’s Github integration.
