Hi Greg, as well as the fat books, you may find the Pluralsight MVC videos helpful too... Cheers, Jason
RE: Encryption
Hi, yeah sounds like a key to the encryption / decryption is probably what you want assuming there are multiple boxes and/or you want option to scale out. I think you can just use the stuff in the Cryptography namespace. Just bear in mind that securing the keys will be important. But it would be better to use a one way hash (salted) and just let admins reset the password, more secure, and possible audit problems?? But don't know the specific requirements though.
RE: [OT] Surface RT or Surface Pro?
Nope, but my latest Windows Store app "app idea evaluator" was just released. I am interested to see what I'd need to do to make it accessible, it also features some charting which may prove a challenge. I'm then gonna write up on my blog my experience as accessibility is an area I've not seen much info on. Cheers Jason

Good point Scott
RE: Is Surface really failing?
Hi David, well now you know person that likes it :) I have been using since previews, it has a few niggling things but overall I like it. In terms of affordances/discoverability once you know about the corners you're pretty much set. How long have you been using win8 out of interest? Doesn't like the iPad have things like 4 finger swipes, how do users discover those gestures without being told? -Original Message- From: "David Richards" Sent: 9/05/2013 7:12 AM To: "ozDotNet" Subject: Re: Is Surface really failing? I have to say, I'm really surprised anyone could ask this. I don't know a single person that likes windows 8. I don't mean they think "yeah its ok but windows 7 is better", I mean they think "hate, loath, detest". It is one of the worst user interfaces I've seen, second only to itunes. When I first tried windows 8, I intentionally made sure I didn't read anything about it. I literally was unable to use it for a full 30 minutes! I could click on enormous, 20 cm buttons to run an app and that was it. I eventually gave up and went to google, only to discover there is a magical, invisible button about 5 pixels wide in the corner. Really!? Who thought that was a good idea? Go to Android or iOS and a child could figure them out in minutes. My two year old was confidently using both in minutes. I have no doubt he would have gotten stuck in windows 8 in seconds. Regardless of your opinion on the style (I personally don't like the style formally known as metro), it is not a UI that a person could figure out just by looking at it. People have to be told how to use it. Consequently, it will always fail in comparison to the others.

Is it really that hard for windows 7 fanatics to click on a tile to see Windows 7 Desktop? Having used Android, IPad and Surface ( in that orders ), Can not imagine why anyone prefer any other tablet to Surface. Is Surface really failing? or is it just the usual trolls cooking up the stats? Anyone has any comments from horses mouth (MS) regarding this? Any news on what is next after Surface from MS? Any rumors for Surface II ? Thank you
RE: Coffee snobs
I got a breville machine/grinder package – I did a barista course last year and it’s all about consistency – the trainer recommended even if you have a basic machine get a great grinder so at least the grind is consistent – would love to get one of these machines from Melbourne company http://www.disave.com.au/product-category/machines/office-models/ Also good, freshly roasted beans (don’t buy pre-ground) – I like the single origins and blends (especially the Crompton Road blend) from Five Senses.

Anyone got a recommendation for a serious (possibly manual) coffee machine? I’ve been using a DeLonghi automatic one but now feeling that I’d prefer something like this: BES890 or BES920: http://www.breville.com.au/beverages/coffee-machines.html The main thing that puts me off is the Breville brand.
