Hi everyone, With the holidays almost upon us I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year! If possible, I will do my best to crank out a further post between now and the New Year. Here’s a teaser for the first part of the year […]
I wanted to outline some recent work I’ve done with the reCAPTCHA Google API. Although not too difficult to implement, I did struggle a little to find C# based server side examples on how to ultimately validate a CAPTCHA. To start us off however, what is reCAPTCHA? reCAPTCHA is essentially a mechanism to protect your […]
Rather miraculously, an entire year has rolled around since the inception of bearandhammer! I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone following this blog, and those keeping up on Twitter and Facebook, it means the world to me so a big thumbs up to you all. This blog has brought in over […]
Hello beautiful people! It’s a fantastic, gorgeous Saturday morning (it’ll be Monday by the time I hit the publish button, such is the enormity of the post!); the birds are chirping, the sun is shining through the balcony windows (and there is a bloody wasp outside, STILL!!!) and my wife has left me…………to go on […]

Thinking back to my original goals when starting this up it’s nowhere near where I planned to be (getting on for nearly a whole year after starting this little adventure); but I’m happy to […]
As I was perusing the list of Visual Studio Featured Videos I spotted this little nugget and thought I’d share: Channel 9 C# 6 Features Video I’ve taken these features for a drive around the block; in addition to noting down some of my first impressions. The philosophy outlined is one of small, incremental changes […]
In my day to day job we use JavaScript in anger (or at least have to deal with it) on a sporadic basis. We dive into T-SQL, C# (either for server side logic in web applications or for desktop applications) and other parts of web development (CSS and HTML) on a rapidly spinning merry-go-round of […]
Evening all, I thought this would be worth sharing, in its current form.
