What Is The Spirit of Open Source?
Feb 1222In my last post, I attempted to make a distinction between Open Source and Open Source Software. Some folks took issue with the post and that’s great! I love a healthy debate. It’s an opportunity to learn. One minor request though. If you disagree with me, I do humbly ask that you read the whole post first before you go and rip me a new one. It was interesting to me that critics fell into two opposing camps. There were those who felt that it was was disingenuous for me to use the term “open ...

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 ...

Open Source and Open Source Software Are Not The Same Things
Feb 1216It all started with an innocent tweet asking whether ASP.NET MVC 3 is “open source” or not? I jumped in with my usual answer, “of course it is!” The source code is released under the Ms-PL, a license recognized that the OSI legally reviewed to ensure it meets the Open Source Definition (OSD). The Free Software Foundation (FSF) recognizes it as a “free software license”1 making it not only OSS, but FOSS (Free and open source software) by that definition. Afterwards, a healthy debate ensued on...

Abstracting away issues of HttpContext from your ASP.NET MVC controllers
Feb 1203I've noticed that I write software in one of three modes: For myself: Shortcuts, less testing, not well-factored. For myself but in public: Mostly POP Forums, which I try to avoid letting it suck since others will use it and see the code. For sharing: Any day job or gig where others will use or maintain your code. You don't want to unleash crapsauce on others. I have to admit that second case isn't the most clean of endeavors. While I'm generally happy with the forum app and the feedba...
