ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta
Feb 1220A few days ago we released the ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta. This is a significant release that brings with it a bunch of great new features and capabilities. The ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta release works with VS 2010 and .NET 4.0, and is side-by-side compatible with prior releases of ASP.NET MVC (meaning you can safely install it and not worry about it impacting your existing apps built with earlier releases). It supports a “go-live” license that allows you to build and deploy production apps with it. Click ...

Techniques for real-time client-server communication on the web (SignalR to the rescue)
Nov 1129When building web applications, you often face the fact that HTTP, the foundation of the web, is a request/response protocol. A client issues a request, a server handles this request and sends back a response. All the time, with no relation between the first request and subsequent requests. Also, since its request-based, there is no way to send messages from the server to the client without having the client create a request first. Today users expect that in their projects, sorry, experience...

Summer time learning: Getting started with Node.js
Aug 1131It is now a consolidate tradition for me to publish, during summer time, a list of the books I liked reading or that I bought and are sitting on my shelves (or, lately, more and more on my iPad) waiting to be read. In the last years these lists contained .NET and development methodologies books and web development books (jQuery and JavaScript). The topics of the book in this year’s list are a bit different. There will still be a bit of web development on .NET, but due to the nature of the pr...

The history of ASP.NET MVC, so far
Jun 1129This post is a mile high overview of the history of ASP.NET MVC, the features it brought with the various versions and the extensibility points introduced. I am starting to work on both a series of webcasts and articles and I was doing some preparatory work, collecting information on the various features and extensibility points that got into the various (official) releases of ASP.NET MVC, so I thought it could have been useful to share my little summary. There have been 3 major official r...

Revisiting Charts: HTML5 Attributes
Feb 1115The charting sample I wrote years ago rendered image tags like this: <img id="topDestinations" src="roller.gif" /> The roller gif was a spinning animation that let the user know some work was happening behind the scenes. JavaScript loaded into the page had the following responsibilities: 1) Identity the image tags to transform into charts. 2) Call a web service to generate the chart asynchronously. 3) Set the src attribute of each image the to image name returned by the web servic...

Revisiting Charting with ASP.NET and LINQ
Feb 1114Once upon a time I wrote an article titled “Charting with ASP.NET and LINQ”. At the time I used a combination of WebForms, WCF, the Microsoft AJAX libraries, and the Microsoft chart control. I had some time to revisit the topic recently and rewrote the sample application using ASP.NET MVC and jQuery. You can download the sample here. The idea behind the sample is to present a “dashboard” full of charts. I’ve worked on a few dashboards over the years, and they are always notoriously difficul...
