Apr 5	comment	HTTP Session or Database approach in that case, you could just as easily use cookies to store the cart information and still use the encrypted key with timestamp. We used that solution prior to HTML5 and experienced the same scalability although bandwidth was slightly more due to round trip cookies on each request. If you are only storing the producdtID=quantity its a fairly small data chunk as people don't normally purchase 80 unique items, more like 1-5 unique items on average.
Apr 5	comment	HTTP Session or Database approach @UmeshAwasthi I suppose my clients do not care about the very small handful of people on lower browsers but obviously this is a bad approach if its a different case in your web traffic. I know still lots of the world uses XP on IE7 and sometimes IE6 but some of my clients products are found in stores such as Nordstroms and Macy's etc. and seem to not be concerned about that.

Apr 5	comment	HTTP Session or Database approach @LuiggiMendoza ok why not.
Apr 5	comment	HTTP Session or Database approach Why? I run several hundred ecommerce websites and we store everything in either cookies or localStorage (HTML5). Also, sessions use up memory. When we do account login we use an encrypted cookie with a timestamp. We don't need a session because when a page loads, we use HTML5 techniques to store and use sessionStorage after a single load. This is IE8+ compatible standard web tech.

Jan 29	comment	How to make an ASP.NET MVC site modular MEF is better. I was giving ideas without looking into it but I would have used MEF given that option if it was out when I did those projects. Seems like a good idea. I don't see why you can't combine MEF and MVC.

Dec 18	comment	How to create a random generator I'm talking about wind speed, barometric pressure, temperature, humidity, etc. You can take a sample of measurements and have a hard time arguing against randomness in that regard. Also, temperature alone taken at enough accuracy is very random.

Dec 17	comment	Should developers be responsible for tests other than unit tests, if so which ones are the most common? @BryanOakley maybe say "it is your job to create good working code for your given use cases and scope" because its just too open ended. It ends up shouldering too much blame on a developer and developers just hate that.

Dec 17	comment	Should developers be responsible for tests other than unit tests, if so which ones are the most common? "It is your responsibility to deliver defect-free code." is fairy land. You can deliver what the scope requires but edge cases and business logic interpretations make your statement impossible to live up to. Why do you think every major release of software has releases and patches etc? Because we are all imperfect including the business logic.
Dec 11	comment	Is there benefit to maintain a large project with bad code? @rwong sort of. Our life is not as long as we think it is. Its very important to focus on what you career should be rather than distract yourself with the bad along the way and be consumed by it because of some idealism that one should suffer before one can be happy.
Dec 8	comment	Is there benefit to maintain a large project with bad code? @upton, I'll rephrase since you were the one asking. My point is not to say maintenance is bad. My point is to advise you the best way I know from my experience of moving forward so much faster than my piers and making so much more money than all my piers from college. I chose creativity and passion and fun over boredom and drudgery. It inspires your everyday and your brain and wallet will thank you for it.
