RFC: Web Platform Installer (WebPI) with an offline feed mode for bandwidth savings
Sep 1124My wife is in the Kingdom of Swaziland this evening. If she was a developer over there and wanted to use Web Platform Installer to get Visual Studio or some large download she would have to patiently bring the bits down over 3G. If she was very well off, she might have ASDL with a maximum speed of 512kbps down, most likely with a cap. I've talked about limited connectivity in African countries and other nations (*cough* New Zealand *cough*) before on this blog and it's no fun. I've told the w...

Using Powershell to make your NuPack Packages – more Awesome
Oct 1028Yeah.. 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...

IntelliSense for jQuery in Visual Studio 2010
Aug 1004I read this morning in Steve Sanderson's Pro ASP.NET MVC 2 Framework book that it is possible to get IntelliSense when using the popular JavaScript library, jQuery. Microsoft have decided to implicitly support jQuery by including some of its libraries in their sample MVC project. This is as well as their own AJAX library that comes with a lot of support for ASP.NET Web Forms specific features, which of course you won't be needing in ASP.NET MVC. Part of their support translates into workin...

Extending NerdDinner: Exploring Different Database Options
May 1020The original NerdDinner Sample was very simple. Two samples, simple, in fact. Perhaps it's the new Northwind, as it's a good way to start working with ASP.NET MVC. However, it's not a perfect sample or an idealized example on how to do many things that users want to do. Fortunately, there's been lots of cool folks in the community who have forked NerdDinner and done interesting stuff with it. Each of these samples is usually focused on a specific scenario, so they won't necessarily be merge...
