    Rebuilding CoasterBuzz, Part II: Hot data objects

    This 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...

    I had the pleasure of speaking at TechEd 2011 North America last week in Atlanta. You can see ALL the videos of all the sessions on Channel 9. As an aside, you might notice that they are in the process of organizing video archives of ALL Microsoft developer events at http://channel9.msdn.com/Events. You can even see PDC 1999 if you like or see sessions by Speaker at http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Speakers. Here are all my talks with a horrible headshot that I plan on asking Duncan to swap ou...

    Such a fun time was had at Mix 11 this last week in Vegas. I only saw a few talks as I was busy presenting, but now as I sit at home on my first day back, I say to myself, Self, how can I get all the Mix videos at once? First, you can watch all the videos online at http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/MIX/MIX11 Second, you can get them via RSS. Most major browsers are hiding the RSS button these days, but the discovery metadata is all still there. In IE9, for example, if you show the Command B...

    First off, I should note that I'm kinda paraphrasing this title from Scott Hanselman's excellent PDC 2010 talk, but I'm sure he's ok with that. By now, if you've been following the news coming out of the Microsoft Web Platform and Tools team, you've probably heard about our latest open-source project: NuGet. I'll let Scott Guthrie fill you in if you haven't heard about it already. Well, since shipping Web Pages v1/MVC v3, we've been working on general clean-up of both our code and our processe...

    Using Powershell to make your NuPack Packages – more Awesome

    Yeah.. Its a cheesy title but what can I say. You can file this under “why nupack is not just for open source”. We are using Nupack to distributed dependencies libraries and for the UI Framework where I work (Dell). My team is responsible for the UI Framework which builds on top of MVC2 and while we try to be unobtrusive, there are a few spots where the easiest form of integration caused us some pain as far as walking teams through setting up our framework. That aside, I think this technique i...

    Microsoft's been filling out the Web Stack with more and more right-sized LEGO pieces lately, and today ScottGu announced the developer preview of NuPack. It's a piece of the stack that's been notably missing for years and after using it for a while now, I'm not sure how I lived without it. NuPack is a package management system for .NET. The goal of NuPack is to make the process of incorporating third party libraries into your solutions as simple as possible. NuPack - The Idea Here's how ...
