I have a WebService that returns a DTO. The webservice gets the data to populate the DTO from an expensive resource. In this simple example, several WebService methods may hit the same ExpensiveResourceProvider method. Where is the best place to perform caching to maximize cache hits?

I've seen some similar posts, but nothing quite like this... I have a website (Sharepoint). When I access a particular page that has many custom-coded webparts on it, the page takes ~30 seconds to load. I've used Firebug and confirmed that the long load time is the server working (in the "Net" tab the webpage timeline shows ~30 seconds ...

There will be a button on all pages inside a web application they can use to report problems, which I would like to submit a screenshot (among other things). http://ww...
Why does an HTTP PUT request have to contain a representation of a 'whole' state and can't just be a partial? I understand that this is the existing definition of PUT - this question is about the reason(s) why it would be defined that way. i.e: What is gained by preventing partial PUTs? Why was preventing idempotent partial updates c...

I've got two reasons to use a sleep function: first, to automatically send a confirmation email to a client 20 minutes after they contact us.
