Amazon Android Developer App Market Is Terrible Right Now

Starting to regret the Amazon AppStore choice! I really feel cheated and I'm considering taking my applications down. @amznappstoredev

Uploadify and ASP.Net with jQuery for File Upload using HttpModule

If you are managing any type of content management system using ASP.Net you are probably using jQuery in some respects. One useful browser-side plugin for jQuery uses Flash to upload files. This plugin is called Uploadify and ships with a PHP server side component. There is a great post on ASP.Net snippets about replacing the File Upload Server Side component with a C#/.Net HttpModule for IIS.

Amazon Android Developer App Market Is Terrible Right Now

Today (March 2011) the Amazon.com Android App Market is a total mess.

They are using insecure and out of date technology like FTP, failing to provide basic documentation on DRM and pretty much ignoring all requests for information.

It took (not a joke) more than 2 weeks to get the "I have found a technical person to ask" level response from the sales contact at http://twitter.com/#!/amznappstoredev

I really hope that they work on getting it together soon, because right now it's a total joke.
