About Technical Debates (and ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC debates in particular)
Jan 1025[In addition to blogging, I am also now using Twitter for quick updates and to share links. Follow me at: twitter.com/scottgu] Technical debates are discussed endlessly within the blog-o-sphere/twitter-verse, and they range across every developer community. Each language, framework, tool, and platform inevitably has at least a few going on at any particular point in time. Below are a few observations I’ve made over the years about technical debates in general, as well as some comments abo...

ASP.NET MVC 2: Strongly Typed Html Helpers
Jan 1011[In addition to blogging, I am also now using Twitter for quick updates and to share links. Follow me at: twitter.com/scottgu] This is the first in a series of blog posts I’m doing on the upcoming ASP.NET MVC 2 release. This blog post covers the new strongly-typed HTML helpers added with ASP.NET MVC 2. Existing HTML Helper Methods ASP.NET MVC 1 shipped with a set of HTML helper methods that can be used within view templates to help with the generation of HTML UI. For example, to output a ...

ASP.NET MVC 2
Jan 1011[In addition to blogging, I am also now using Twitter for quick updates and to share links. Follow me at: twitter.com/scottgu] Over the last six months the ASP.NET team has been steadily releasing preview, then beta, and now release candidate builds of ASP.NET MVC 2. Given that the final release is not too far away, I thought it was a good time to start a new multi-part ASP.NET MVC 2 blog series that discusses the new features and how best to take advantage of them. ASP.NET MVC 2 We shi...

My Presentations in Europe (December 2009)
Dec 0907This past week I’ve been traveling around Europe giving a bunch of presentations (approximately 5 hours in each country) – Norway on Tuesday, Sweden on Wednesday, Denmark on Thursday, and Belgium on Friday. I’ll then be presenting at the BizSpark Camp in France this coming Tuesday. Things went well with the talks, and I had fun meeting lots of new people (more than 3,000 attended the talks!). Below is a picture of my talk in Belgium – where everyone showed up in a red shirt :-) Download...

Book project follow up
Aug 0910I'm still getting e-mail about the book I started to write and posted chapters for. Now that ScottGu has formally announced the progress on v2 of ASP.NET MVC, hopefully it's more obvious now why I put off the project. As I said previously, I had to prioritize with some other projects that would yield income sooner, and I was concerned with the speed to market with which I could get it out there (read: not fast enough). I also knew about the second iteration in the pipe, which made it a no-brai...

ASP.NET MVC book: Not going to happen (for now)
Jun 0910After a great deal of soul searching (and a PDF draft of chapter 1 posted), I've decided that I'm not going to follow through on this book. I've got a total of four chapters, two of which are at 75%, but there are a number of reasons that I've decided to focus my attention elsewhere. The biggest issue I have right now is that I don't see an obvious personal benefit to following through at this time, especially when I compare it to other projects. Since I'm essentially "self-employed," and for...

Personal blog moved, powered by ASP.NET MVC
Jun 0905I moved my personal blog to a more appropriate domain name, JeffPutz.com. Hooray for vanity names! I'll continue to keep technical and programming junk here. It seemed appropriate though to have a central location for me stuff, including my resume and various media samples, so this is it. This is the first MVC app that I've put into production, oddly enough. Well, technically it is, though I've supervised the development of MVC apps elsewhere. This little app is what I've been writing my next...

ASP.NET MVC book: Chapter 1: Plumbing
May 0908ASP.NET MVC: From Webforms to MVC by Jeff Putz The following is a barely-edited draft from the forthcoming book that will explore Microsoft’s ASP.NET MVC framework from the view of a traditional Webforms developer. This chapter goes over the basic plumbing of the framework, while subsequent chapters will be more focused on the typical use cases that every developer encounters, and how they relate to their Webforms analogs. Again, this is a draft, so read with caution. You can find up...

ASP.NET MVC: From Webforms to MVC - Introduction
May 0901This is the introduction for the book I've decided to write. I'm not at all sure how it will see paper yet, and I'm OK with that. I've been looking into self-publishing or on-demand publishing and I'm fairly convinced that it's a real option. I'm still willing to talk to "real" publishers as well, and as usual, I can be reached at jeff at popw dot com. This is a very rough draft with very little copy editing or polish. I'm looking for feedback, though I understand there isn't a lot to give fo...

ASP.NET MVC book proposal
Apr 0928I'm not sure if it's the fact that I'm not working or what, but I'm very seriously thinking about writing another book. Not only that, but if I do it, it will be an ASP.NET MVC book. Some have suggested to me that the space is already too crowded. In any case, my motivation is largely the same as it was for my first book, in that I'm dissatisfied with the way things are being presented today. I don't believe most books teach new things the way that developers want to learn. My approach is tha...
