406 <div class="blog-content"> 407 <p>Even though there are quite a few opensource .Net libraries REST API out there, and a really impressive one for Flickr, they tend to never evolve or fork to use the newer framework technologies.  I think its great that they support 1.0, 2.0, and mono, but why not fork and support WCF?  I think part of the problem that .Net 3.5 use is not wide spread as it should be is not only information overload and bad naming for extension libraries, but also lack of opensource support to provide libraries and basis for current technology.  </p> <p>Flickr tends to be a little more tricky to use when calling it than some other REST APIs. WCF is a cool technology, but needs to be massaged when using it with Flickr due to a couple of gotchas and not so obvious things about WCF. In order to use Flickr, you need to register for an api_key and a shared secret code which is used to create an MD5 hash. You also need to create that MD5 each time you call a method, using the url parameters in a certain way. </p> <p>There are also a few not so obvious factors about using the JSON part of Flickr. All of the .Net libraries I've seen so far, use XML. While C# is king of parsing  XML, JSON tends to be more compact, which means less expense over the wire, though it might mean more time parsing once on the developers end point. So there are tradeoffs to using it. </p> <p>When I created the classes needed to use WCF to call Flickr, I have the actual "DataContract" object (DTO, Data Transfer Object), A Hash (Dictionary<string, object>) for adding the parameters to create the MD5 signature, A base class for creating the WCF proxy, a custom "WebContentTypeMapper", The "ServiceContract" interface, the actual "Client class", and a mixins class for creating the MD5. </p> <p>Here are some of the gotchas that I ran into while getting WCF to work with Flickr. </p> <p></p> <ol> <li>Flickr makes you create a md5 hash to send with every call for ALL parameters in alphabetical order using your "Shared Secret" Code as part of the md5.   </li> <li>Flickr's Json response "Content-Type" header is sent not as "application/json" but as "text/plain" which equates to "Raw" in WCF lingo.  </li> <li>The response object is wrapped and not obvious when it comes to json how the DataContract object should be formed.  </li> <li>Flickr will wrap the json response in a javascript function unless you pass in the parameter "nojsoncallback=1" </li> </ol> <p>To get around number one, I created an extension method that takes a Hash (Dictionary<string, object>) and adds method that converts the parameters into a MD5 string. </p> <pre class="code csharp">namespace Amplify.Linq 408{ 542 using System.Collections.Generic; 543 using System.Linq; 544 using System.Text; 575 using System.Collections.Generic; 576 using System.Linq; 577 using System.Text; 603 using System.Collections.Generic; 604 using System.Linq; 605 using System.Text; 751 <div class="blog-content"> 752 <p>After trying <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb425822.aspx" rel="tag">linq to sql</a>, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa697427(VS.80).aspx" rel="tag">the ado.net entity framework</a>, php's <a href="http://codeigniter.com/">code igniter</a> framework, php's <a href="http://www.cakephp.org/" rel="rel">cake framework</a>; I'm realizing how much of rails really depends on the inner workings of ruby itself to do what it is able to do.  I've looked and poked around <a href="http://www.cakephp.org/" rel="rel">Castle's Active Record</a> and it does some heavy lifting, but it still seems to deviate too much from rails's version of active record.  One of the key things of porting a concept, is to keep it as close as possible so that developers can rely more on the same convention without having to relearn the concept in a different domain specific language.  Plus, I cringe a little when it leans too much on using <a href="http://www.hibernate.org/343.html" rel="tag">NHibernate</a>. </p> <p>It goes back to the whole "Don't make me think principle", that developers often to have to keep in mind when developing for an end user.  At first, I was thinking about creating a port would be simpler using linq with either "linq to sql" or the currently released "ado.net entity framework".

94 <div class="blog-content"> 95 <p>Even though there are quite a few opensource .Net libraries REST API out there, and a really impressive one for Flickr, they tend to never evolve or fork to use the newer framework technologies.  I think its great that they support 1.0, 2.0, and mono, but why not fork and support WCF?  I think part of the problem that .Net 3.5 use is not wide spread as it should be is not only information overload and bad naming for extension libraries, but also lack of opensource support to provide libraries and basis for current technology.  </p> <p>Flickr tends to be a little more tricky to use when calling it than some other REST APIs. WCF is a cool technology, but needs to be massaged when using it with Flickr due to a couple of gotchas and not so obvious things about WCF. In order to use Flickr, you need to register for an api_key and a shared secret code which is used to create an MD5 hash. You also need to create that MD5 each time you call a method, using the url parameters in a certain way. </p> <p>There are also a few not so obvious factors about using the JSON part of Flickr. All of the .Net libraries I've seen so far, use XML. While C# is king of parsing  XML, JSON tends to be more compact, which means less expense over the wire, though it might mean more time parsing once on the developers end point.
