ASP.NET MVC 3 and the @helper syntax within Razor
May 1113ASP.NET MVC 3 supports a new view-engine option called “Razor” (in addition to continuing to support/enhance the existing .aspx view engine). Razor minimizes the number of characters and keystrokes required when writing a view template, and enables a fast, fluid coding workflow.

The Razor parser is smart enough to infer this from your co...

Making Let Me Bing That For You Open Source
May 1112Almost two years ago, I announced the launch of http://letmebingthatforyou.com/, a blatant and obvious rip-off of the Let me Google that for you website. The initial site was created by Maarten Balliauw and Juliën Hanssens in response to a call for help I made. It was just something we did for fun. I’ve been maintaining the site privately always intending to spend some time to refresh the code and open source it. Just recently, I upgraded the site to ASP.NET MVC 3, refactored a bunch of co...

Mastering ASP.NET MVC 3
May 1109I’m rolling together the outline of Tekpub’s Mastering ASP.NET MVC 3 and I was hoping to drop in a couple of episodes on top of MVC 2, but it’s looking like this release has enough to easily cover 9-10 episodes. So that’s what I’m doing - starting today - rolling together a new series that will be a lot more advanced than MVC 2 - and I think I might redo MVC 2 to cover more basic principles. Thoughts? ...

Should I use HTML5 or Silverlight? One man's opinion.
May 1104I was in Belgium and The Netherlands this last week presenting and talking to folks in the community. After I presented on ASP.NET MVC 3, HTML5 and jQuery, one fellow came up after and said, Should I use Silverlight or HTML5. I don't understand what Microsoft's strategy is or what to use in my app. Since I work for the Web Platform and Tools team (ASP.NET, IIS, etc) I spend a lot of time working, coding, and thinking about the web. However, I'm not an official strategist, or marketing guy. ...
