Mar 1128One of the things people like the most about my ASP.NE MVC 2 Ninja Black Belt Tips video, besides the Bill Cosby sweater, is the tip where I show how to modify the default CodeTemplates that are used in Code Generation in ASP.NET MVC (either version).

Dec 1007We all have to do it inform the user of some status such as whether their edit saved properly and/or if a form submission was successful.

May 1023What Is The Tekpub MVC Starter Site? If I could capture it in a sentence, it would be If I only I knew then what I know now... I've uttered those words a lot over my career - and it's usually the result of my attempt to get up to speed on, and then effectively implement, a new technology. It also means rewriting a lot of stuff - which is incredibly wasteful. One such thing I wish I always knew about (and used effectively) is Inversion of Control.
