I hit a mental block at the start of last week, dealing with delegates and events. It literally made no sense to me, no matter how much I stared at the description/examples.

So, deciding that it must make sense or it wouldn't be in there, I decided to keep re-reading the book until it did make sense. I re-read the whole chapter every day, and after 3 days suddenly delegates made sense. After 5 days the way that events worked slotted into place too. It's a marvel to me that the brain can keep on processing things until suddenly they appear out of nowhere - I now can't see where the problem was, the examples now look perfectly simple and the functionality seems obvious.

Following on from that, I played around with web services last night. Getting a simple service up and running was a matter or moments, and writing a form that passed information into the web service and displayed the response took only another ten minutes. I'm very impressed - I wish I'd had this technology a few years ago.

Of course, I then passed the form over to Nathan to see if it would work over the internet, but he seemed to be having all sorts of problems with routing, so I went to bed. Hopefully I'll get the chance to play tonight.

the moment you went to bed, all the servers stop seeing the internet...

then 2 mins later, everything was up again, and all i did was cry on the keyboard...

but the security setting are still winging at me from the form you sent.. but as i sadi, that is likly to be simbas .net security settings...

however, it will be there default settings, so your program sets off default settings, and I have run other .net stuff ion this box...

maybe it prefers all data to be sent with a soap wrapper, isn't that somthing to do with the security bit????

it was a word I read on the backk of a cerial packet...

I don't actually know what it means!!


...

nowe there is an idea.. the crap they put on the back of cerial packets..

Hands up all tohose techs that would buy a type of cerial that had wee descriptions of certain technologies on the back.. sorta of byte ( bite ) sized intros to somthing...

just think, we may even get more non techs interested in technology...
