Wow its been a long time

Just realized how long it has been since my last post - September 2012; ouch that is over 4 years!

I would like to say that I have been busy inventing something new, but really I have just been busy at work and home, getting on with life. Thats not to say that I haven’t done anything interesting, however I just haven’t got round to writing any of it down here.

A few of the interesting things I have worked on in this timeframe:

  • Sencha ExtJS
    • Writing a new UI wrapper for our product
    • This makes use of the ExtJS 6 Classic to target desktop and tablets. There is no real requirement to support the product on phones.
    • Creating an package to host social media interactions
  • Facebook Integration
    • Reading an writing to Facebook pages to provide social media interaction
  • Twitter Integration
    • Reading mentions, timelines and running searches, plus tweeting replies to provide a social interaction
    • Makes use of a great library TweetInvi which is hosted on github and available via NuGet.
  • Exchange Integration using Exchange Web Services (EWS)
    • Writing a service component to pull emails from Exchange, providing centralized management
  • Signal R sitting ontop of Redis
    • Providing real time updates to connected clients

I should try to write-up something on these in the near future.
