Rebuilding CoasterBuzz, Part II: Hot data objects
Mar 1219This is the second post, originally from my personal blog, in a series about rebuilding one of my Web sites, which has been around for 12 years. More: Part I: Evolution, and death to WCF After the rush to get moving on stuff, I temporarily lost interest. I went almost two weeks without touching the project, in part because the next thing on my backlog was doing up a bunch of administrative pages. So boring. Unfortunately, because most of the site's content is user-generated, you need some...

Using the Scoring Game from POP Forums with your ASP.NET MVC app
Jan 1227Let me tell you a story of HR-discouraged workplace fun. Back in the day, prior to the crash-and-burn of Insurance.com, we had this thing in the development part of the company called the Scoring Game. I wrote about it a couple of years ago on my personal blog. The long and short of it is that we kept a running total of +/-1’s for virtually anything you can think of, for each participant. This was back in 2006, before it became trendy to do it for everything else on the Internets. Later, Dig...

Sep 1115Unless you are living under a rock, you have probably heard that two days ago, at Build, Microsoft unveiled the new version of Windows, named Windows 8. Windows 8 This is revolutionary both from the consumers’ and developers’ perspectives. The UI is deeply based on the concept of the tiles of Windows Phone 7.5 “mango” and the Metro design language, and the API are now allowing applications to be written either in C#/C++ and the usual .NET/Win32, or using WinRT, basically an Object Oriented v...

Using EntityFramework with ASP.NET MVC 3
Mar 1121A few people have asked about a comment I made on my last post: I might suggest (in this case) creating an ActionFilter and wrapping the Action in a transaction. It’s transparent, it’s fun… and all the kids are doing it. … and it got me thinking. All of the MSDN samples that I’ve seen which talk about using EF or LinqToSql with ASP.NET MVC almost always show the context being created inside an action or being passed in via a repository. This doesn’t have to be the case - in fact it probabl...

Mar 1119I want to like Entity Framework. I did a whole screencast series on the thing and to be honest, I grew to like it. It’s very capable and if you play along with it’s rules can save you a lot of work. This post isn’t about EF. It’s about an MSDN post that was put up that I just linked to - and I thought about it afterward and … well I could probably be a bit more constructive. It’s late, I’ve had a beer or 2, and I was a bit quick to hit publish. The thing that pushed me over a bit was this ...
