Have you upgraded to Mac OS X El Capitan? Notice anything different about Disk Utility? Ya, it looks prettier, but it has some issues. Especially with partitioning space. I miss the old version! In this WiBisode Kevin will show you how you can use the diskutil command line utility to allocate currently unallocated portions of your existing Mac OS X operating system disk partition so it can be used immediately!

Mirth Connect is a pretty awesome Integration Engine. It satisfies most of the needs for software integration plus a lot more! It is easy to use, easy to train new people on, and very powerful. One thing that does get on the nerves of some (such as I) is the usage of self-signed certificates for HTTPS. Now, I am not blaming Mirth! What else are they to do? The only thing I wish was that it was more obvious how to integrate the administration port with existing server architecture, such as using a CA issued SSL certificate. It really is not a HUGE deal to see certificate warnings when accessing the admin web page, however, it looks bad! It makes you look cheap and lazy! Well, WiBit.Net to the rescue! In this WiBisode I will show you how to export your existing SSL Certificate from a Windows Server and import it into Mirth Connect's key store. Enjoy!

In part 2 of my Cloverleaf Java TPS WiBisode we will take a look at working on a CCD (Continuity of Care Document) in Cloverleaf to correct some hypothetical errors and format it for an imaginary downstream consumer. This information is a springboard to doing more advanced and useful Cloverleaf processing using Java on more complicated document formats. By the time we are done you may be asking yourself: "Tickle, what???"

A lot of Cloverleaf developers are really into Xlates and Tcl (which they like to call Tickle). However, there are a lot of things that those two just cannot do, or they can do them but it is WAY more complicated! Sometimes you need something with more muscle! The good news for Cloverleaf developers is that you can use Java classes for your TPS and TrxId procedures. The problems is, not very many people know how to do this (at least from my experience). It is not documented very well, and even in advanced Cloverleaf training they do not spend much (if any) time talking about this. I really love using Java in Cloverleaf for 2 reasons: (1) It is more powerful than Tcl and (2) It is easier to find a developer "off the street" with a Java background if you need to fill a position quickly. In this WiBisode I will show you how to create a simple Java TPS and run it in the testing tool in the Cloverleaf IDE. Get ready for a good time!

I appreciate it when sites just cut to the chase, especially when checking out something new to see how it fits in your view of solving a problem or starting a project. So this WiBisode is 'Boiled Down' to show you how to get up and running, but not to teach you what the technology is used for. In this episode, we will be setting up from scratch a node.js application and save an object to a Mongo DB collection all under 20 minutes! So for all you hippie degenerate shrimpers, here goes 'Mongo Trasho'!

Have you ever wondered how websites format their article posts in Facebook so that they look so nice and attractive? Well, wonder NO MORE! You will learn how to use Open Graph to do this on your own web sites.

Alright! Here we go! This video is the conclusion of the X.509 WiBisode series. You've learned how to created a signing certificate, export a public key, and sign an XML document. NOW it is time to take the public key and validate the signature. This technique is used to establish application trusts. The validating code is verifying that the document has arrived as it was intended (with no changes along the way) and that the document was "stamped" by a private key that YOU trust!

In a previous video, Kevin shows how to create a simple self signed X.509 Certificate using OpenSSL. In this video you will learn how to use the private key to stamp an XML document with a digital signature using C#!

In this WiBisode Kevin will show how you can create signing certs for creating digital signatures! This is most often used to "lock" documents in a particular state, and then verified by the consuming application. The point of digital signatures is to create an application "trust" between two entities. When the consumer receives the document, it can validate the signature against the public key and feel confident that the document was "signed" by a trusted private key.
