ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Razor and Open Source
Mar 1228Microsoft has made the source code of ASP.NET MVC available under an open source license since the first V1 release. We’ve also integrated a number of great open source technologies into the product, and now ship jQuery, jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile, jQuery Validation, Modernizr.js, NuGet, Knockout.js and JSON.NET as part of it. I’m very excited to announce today that we will also release the source code for ASP.NET Web API and ASP.NET Web Pages (aka Razor) under an open source license (Apache 2...

NuGet Package of Week #11 - ImageResizer enables clean ,clear image resizing in ASP.NET
Oct 1131The Backstory: I was thinking since the NuGet .NET package management site is starting to fill up that I should start looking for gems (no pun intended) in there. You know, really useful stuff that folks might otherwise not find. I'll look for mostly open source projects, ones I think are really useful. I'll look at how they built their NuGet packages, if there's anything interesting about the way the designed the out of the box experience (and anything they could do to make it better) as wel...

Entity Framework Code First Migrations: Alpha - NuGet Package of the Week #10
Jul 1128Hot on the heels of my RFC blog post on product versioning, the Entity Framework team has released Entity Framework 4.1 Code First Migrations: August 2011 CTP. Cool. And it's July, too! Or my preferred product name, Migrating Magic Unicorns 0.5. It's probably best to think of this as 0.5 Alpha Migrations for EF but that's my guess at a name and not nearly as descriptive. I showed early daily builds of EF Migrations at a few conferences recently, and encouraged folks to comment on the ADO...

Windows Azure Accelerator for Web Roles
Jul 1113One of the questions I often get around Windows Azure is: “Is Windows Azure interesting for me?”. It’s a tough one, because most of the time when someone asks that question they currently already have a server somewhere that hosts 100 websites. In the full-fledged Windows Azure model, that would mean 100 x 2 (we want the SLA) = 200 Windows Azure instances. And a stroke at the end of the month when the bill arrives. Microsoft’s DPE team have released something very interesting for those situati...

A first look at Windows Azure AppFabric Applications
Jul 1107After the Windows Azure AppFabric team announced the availability of Windows Azure AppFabric Applications (preview), I signed up for early access immediately and got in. After installing the tools and creating a namespace through the portal, I decided to give it a try to see what it’s all about. Note that Neil Mackenzie also has an extensive post on “WAAFapps” which I recommend you to read as well. So what is this Windows Azure AppFabric Applications thing? Before answering that question, le...

Writing an Orchard widget: LatestTwitter
Jan 1121Last week, Microsoft released Orchard, a new modular CMS system built on ASP.NET MVC and a lot of other, open source libraries available. I will not dive into the CMS itself, but after fiddling around with it I found a lot of things missing: there are only 40 modules and widgets available at the moment and the only way to have a more rich ecosystem of modules is: contributing! And thats what I did. Feel the need to add a list of recent tweets by a certain user to your Orchard website? Try my...

ASP.NET MVC and jQuery Mobile
Jan 1113With the release of Windows Phone 7 last year, Im really interested in mobile applications. Why? Well, developing for Windows Phone 7 did not require me to learn new things. I can use my current skill set and build cool apps for that platform. But what about the other platforms? If you look at all platforms from a web developer perspective, theres one library that also allows you to use your existing skill set: jQuery Mobile. Know HTML? Know jQuery? Know *any* web development language like P...

MaVeriCk – An Open-Source CMS written in ASP.Net MVC
May 0919This is a big post, I know, but I think it’ll be worth it. If you don’t have time to read it all, I organized it by importance, so the important stuff is at the top anyway :). I’ve been hinting for a while that I’ve been working on a secret side project using ASP.Net MVC that was sort-of related to DotNetNuke. Well, it’s finally time for me to put some code out there :). Today, I published a source code package containing version 0.1 of MaVeriCk, a Content Management System written in ASP...
