Had a great time presenting at dotnetconf, even with the A/C broken a the house. Appreciate the comments and feedback. Although this was not super sexy new stuff, it is a real business case and a question I get asked more often than you think..."How do I connect ASP.NET Core to WCF or even node.js to SOAP Services". When I started looking at the issue a few weeks ago, there was very little documented, which is why I wanted to put the talk and demo out there.

I am around a lot of developers here and there, and as we all know; we are very particular about the machine (when we can be), the editors or IDE, the add-ins, command line tools, stickers and sometimes even the bag we put all of this in. Here is a list of the toys and tools that I choose to carry and use. Machine I have many machines in the computer graveyard in the garage,...

In a recent post, the CLI and environment.ts were used to determing the current running environment and what settings to use. However, there were some shortcomings to this approach not only in the fact that only development and production were supported but others mentioned as well. In Angular 1.x using manual bootstrap, where the application would need to do some work prior to starting up, was such a need that it has a home in the docs. However, in Angular 2 this pattern is not established. I started looking and asking, "What is the manual bootstrap for A2?" Of course, thanks to naming "bootstrap" is awful when paired with almost anything web. Nevertheless, there is a question and...
