Impressions on jQuery Mobile
Apr 1210For the uninitiated, jQuery Mobile is a sweet little client framework that turns regular HTML into something more touch and mobile friendly. It results in a user interface that has bigger targets, rounded corners and simple skinning capability. When it was announced that ASP.NET MVC 4 would include support for a mobile-sensitive view engine, offering up alternate views for clients that fit the mobile profile, I was all over that. Combined with jQuery Mobile, it brought a chance to do some ex...

Rebuilding CoasterBuzz, Part I: Evolution, and death to WCF
Feb 1229This is a repost from my personal blog... Last weekend, I showed a very early behind-the-scenes preview of what will eventually be the next version of CoasterBuzz (the fifth major revision in 12 years) to some folks that participated in the PointBuzz off-season tour at Cedar Point. It's very early in the process, but I thought it would be fun to talk about some of the things that have changed over the years. This series of posts probably won't mean much to non-code-monkeys, but it's fun for...

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...

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...

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...

Lessons from rewriting POP Forums for MVC, open source-like
Mar 1110It has been a ton of work, interrupted over the last two years by unemployment, moving, a baby, failing to sell houses and other life events, but it's really exciting to see POP Forums v9 coming together. I'm not even sure when I decided to really commit to it as an open source project, but working on the same team as the CodePlex folks probably had something to do with it. Moving along the roadmap I set for myself, the app is now running on a quasi-production site... we launched MouseZoom las...
