OSS and .NET Year In Review 2011
Dec 1126T’is the season for “Year in Review” and “Best of” blog posts. It’s a vain practice, to be sure. This is exactly why I’ve done it almost every year! After all, isn’t all blogging pure vanity? Sadly, I did miss a few years when my vanity could not overcome my laziness. This year I am changing it up a bit to look at the intersection of open source software and the .NET community in 2011. I think it’s been a banner year for OSS and .NET/Microsoft, and I think it’s only going to get better in 20...

Installing and Running node.js applications within IIS on Windows - Are you mad?
Aug 1128Some folks on our team have been working on making node.js work awesomely on Windows. There's a few questions you might have. First, what's node.js? If you're not familiar with node.js, it's a new web programming toolkit that everyone's talking about. It's the one that makes you feel not hip if you don't know what it is. Like Ruby on Rails was a few years back. Folks called it Node and it's basically server-side JavaScript. The idea is that if you are doing a bunch of JavaScript on the cl...

CoffeeScript, Sass and LESS support for Visual Studio and ASP.NET with the Mindscape Web Workbench
Jul 1122There's some really impressive stuff happening in the .NET Community lately. Folks are reaching outside their standard built-in tools and pulling inspiration from everywhere. It's been said that (some) Microsoft developers don't like to use tools or technologies that aren't built in to Visual Studio. However, myself and others have been pushing the concept of LEGO blocks snapping together. Rather than thinking of Visual Studio as a giant single block, consider it as a small block amongst many...

NuGet Package of the Week #9 - ASP.NET MiniProfiler from StackExchange rocks your world
Jul 1122I LOVE great debugging tools. Anything that makes it easier for me to make a site correct and fast is glorious. I've talked about Glimpse, an excellent firebug-like debugger for ASP.NET MVC, and I've talked about ELMAH, and amazing logger and error handler. Now the triad is complete with MiniProfiler, my Package of the Week #9. Yes, #9. I'm counting System.Web.Providers as #8, so phooey. ;) Hey, have you implemented the NuGet Action Plan? Get on it, it'll take only 5 minutes: NuGet Action...

NuGet for the Enterprise: NuGet in a Continuous Integration Automated Build System
May 1125I 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...

Apr 1129Glenn Block is with Scott in The Netherlands and tries to get Scott up to speed on what's new in the WCF Web Api. Scott thinks WCF is scary and heavyweight. How does WCF fit into a world of Web 2.0 lightweight APIs? What's the WCF WebAPI and how does compare to services in ASP.NET MVC?

A Look Back at Mix 11
Apr 1116Another Spring approaches and once again, another Mix is over. This year at Mix, my team announced the release of the ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update at Mix, which I blogged about recently. Working on this release as well as NuGet has kept me intensely busy since we released ASP.NET MVC 3 RTM only this past January. Hopefully now, my team and I can take a moment to breath as we start making big plans for ASP.NET MVC 4. It’s interesting to me to think that the version number for ASP.NET MVC is qui...

Hanselminutes Podcast 252 - ReactiveUI extensions to the Reactive Framework (Rx) with Paul Betts
Feb 1108Scott sits down with Paul Betts and talks about extending the Reactive Framework. We currently manage our UI events as they are pushed to us. How does programming - and asynchronous programming - change if we change the way UI events are consumed? The Rx Reactive Framework extends .NET, and Paul's extended that with his Open Source Reactive UI framework. Let's see if Paul can teach Scott a new trick. Download: MP3 Full Show Links from the Show ReactiveUI Main site Github page Blog Se...

Hanselminutes Podcast 243 - Knockout JavaScript with Steve Sanderson

MVVM on the client, MVC on the server, living together happily may make a more enjoyable development experience. All this plus HTML, data binding, jQuery, text boxes over data, ASP.NET and more.

Hosting Your Own Local and Remote NuPack Feeds
Oct 1021Note: Everything I write here is based on a very early pre-release version of NuPack and is subject to change. A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post introducing the first preview, CTP 1, of NuPack Package Manager. It’s an open source (we welcome contributions!) developer focused package manager meant to make it easy to discover and make use of third party dependencies as well as keep them up to date. As of CTP 1, NuPack by default queries an online ATOM feed temporarily located at http://go....
