Fifth in the HTTP Status Coop series – 305 Use Proxy! The requested resource is available only through a proxy, the address for which is provided in the response. Many HTTP clients (such as Mozilla[26] and Internet Explorer) do not correctly handle responses with this status code, primarily for security reasons. via Wikipedia This is a photo of my …
Fourth post in the HTTP Status Coop series – 303 See Other! The response to the request can be found under another URI using the GET method.

In going back over my Testing RESTful Web Services talk prior to presenting at Targeting Quality, I decided that the HTTP Status Cats I was using on one of my slides just didn’t feel right. I was already using my dog in my talk, so why not make some up? I’m calling them HTTP Status …
Holy shit. Another amazing Kalamazoo X. This year was even more special because I was honored to be asked to speak. To be honest, speaking at Kalamazoo X was on my bucket list, but I never thought it would happen. It’s like the pinnacle of my speaking career. Doing a technical talk is easy. Doing …
Another CodeMash here and gone. I got in around 450 tweets this year – seemed like I didn’t attend as many sessions. Here are the recaps (via Storify) for the sessions I attended! Precompilers (Tues and Wed) Commutication: Moving Ideas with Words with Damian Synadinos Hands On Techno-Fashion with Kimberly Clavin and Jonathon Stevens Storify: https://storify.com/g33klady/codemash-2017-days-1-and-2-precompilers …
EDIT: One mindful reader noted that I should be using good practices to protect my code from SQL Injection. So there are some updates below, and the code is also updated! I used this as my guide: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.parameters.aspx One part of my talk and resources on Testing RESTful Web Services that I hinted at but didn’t …
