		<title>Convert XML to JSON using XSLT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How about that for acronym soup?&#160; In the spirit of doing smaller posts but more often, here is a handy little XSLT.&#160; 
Assuming you have the following XML, 
&#160;

&#60;Customers&#62;
    &#60;Customer Id=&#34;99&#34;&#62;
        &#60;Name&#62;Bob&#60;/Name&#62;
        &#60;Age&#62;39&#60;/Age&#62;

		<title>But can you test it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Testing code that uses HttpWebRequest directly, is a real pain.&#160; Usually what I have seen people do is create a service interface that hides the real http client behind the interface and then create fake service implementations to actually run their tests against.&#160; The annoying part about that solution is that Http client interfaces tend [...]]]></description>

		<title>FOR XML PATH and CQRS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a recent twitter exchange with Colin Jack I claimed that SELECT {…} FROM […] FOR XML PATH() is pretty much all you need for providing the Reporting side of CQRS.&#160; Ok, so maybe I overstated it a tad, but it is a valuable technique.&#160; He suggested I blog about it, so I figured even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Woe is me, the WOA unmanifesto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This started as a comment on the blog post here, but it got too long.
I have two questions for Dion and a few comments.   1) Have you read (not just skimmed a few times) Roy&#8217;s dissertation on REST?    2) Have you written both a REST service and a REST client [...]]]></description>

		<title>HttpContent instead of streams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think the HttpContent class is my favourite part of this library.&#160; This class acts as a container for the content that you received or are about to send. 
Handling returned content
When you do make an http request with this library, the body of the response is wrapped inside an HttpContent object. So, when you [...]]]></description>

		<title>HttpClient – The basics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I go into any details I thought it would be valuable to give some basic examples of how to use the HTTPClient.
Retrieve some HTTP content from an URL

var client = new HttpClient();
var response = client.Get(&#34;http://example.org&#34;);

Post some content to an Url

var client = new HttpClient();
var content = HttpContent.Create(&#34;This is some string content&#34;);
var response = client.Post(&#34;http://example.com&#34;, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why the Microsoft.Http library is awesome.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In various forums I a finding myself raving about this new library.&#160; I decided that I should write some blog posts on the subject for a few reasons.&#160; 1) to convince myself that there is actually some substance to my raving; 2) provide a place to point people to in order to substantiate my infatuation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh Data</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the recent PDC09 I have been obsessing over OData and I need to write this post just to get it out of my head.&#160; Microsoft has made it obvious that they are taking this protocol very seriously by integrating it into Sharepoint, Visual Studio, RIA Services, PowerPivot, and I expect to see it in [...]]]></description>

		<title>It is not that we don&#8217;t like the convenience of Windows Installer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just had a fight with an installation of Sharepoint and it dawned on my what I don’t like about Windows Installer.&#160; It is a black box.&#160; You click on the file and press next, next, next and magic happens.&#160; Personally, I would like to know where files are being put, which registry hives are [...]]]></description>

		<title>WCF REST Starter Kit Preview 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been looking thought the latest release of the WCF REST Starter Kit and there are some interesting things there.&#160; Especially the new HttpClient class in the Microsoft.Http namespace.&#160; I will not talk about the server side of things because I really don&#8217;t have anything nice to say and until I have some constructive [...]]]></description>
