Here’s my “what I’m reading” for tech books for the month of September:
Programming "Indigo" by David Pallmann
I haven’t spent as much time on Indigo as I should, so I’m trying to make up for lost time using this book. So far, it is a great book as an introduction to Service based architecture and design (I don’t like to use that dirty acronym, SOA). One of the big reasons I’m reading this book is to make sure that the message based architecture I use in .Net 1.1 will port easily over to Indigo. David has left Microsoft, but is part of the Indigo Roadshow.
Code Generation in Microsoft.Net by Kathleen Dollard
This isn’t a new book, but I’ve been meaning to get around to reading it. Kathleen has a blog which I read (but hasn’t updated it in a while), and code generation is something that I really need to get into, so this is my attempt to get going on this topic. Code generation is extremely powerful, and I have a couple places in my standard framework where it would help eliminate some repeatative coding.

About donxml
I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
