So one of the features of .NET 4 that I’ve been eagerly awaiting is the new Parallel Programming “stuff”. Now, anyone who has worked in concurrent environments knows, it’s daunting to learn a new set of technologies, constructs, tools, etc. For those that haven’t worked in concurrent environments, the entry into concurrency can be downright intimidating

So there is nothing I find nicer than a well formatted, REST based URL. Take for example: http://myhost/customer/2/orders As a way to retrieve all orders for customer number 2. There is also nothing I like more than WCF ! The flexibility to declaratively control the behavior of my web service is perfect for situations where I need to respond quickly to heterogeneous client calling requirements (REST, SOAP, etc).

So I’m doing some prototyping at the moment and one of the most frustrating aspects of getting started with any prototype is capturing the: Flow Main Screens Specification I think in mind maps, so one of my biggest problems when starting a new project is setting up the high-level map of how everything is going to connect together. The second issue I have is I want to capture the essence and linkage of each screen, but not in painful detail, just enough so someone can infer the underlying data model and application behavior.

So I’ve been working on a project, and I came across a little challenge that I thought folks may be interested in the solution to. So, the problem is this, I have a dependency on a bunch of files that I need access to from my worker role in the cloud and dev fabric.
