    Scott Hanselman's 2011 Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows

    Everyone collects utilities, and most folks have a list of a few that they feel are indispensable. Here's mine. Each has a distinct purpose, and I probably touch each at least a few times a week. For me, util means utilitarian and it means don't clutter my tray. If it saves me time, and seamlessly integrates with my life, it's the bomb. Many/most are free some aren't. Those that aren't free are very likely worth your 30-day trial, and perhaps your money. Here are most of the contents of my ...

    Studio for Wijmo MVC Review

    Aug 11

    I was recently asked to review Studio for Wijmo MVC by Component One and, overall, I am impressed. There are 2 major components of this. The first is Wijmo Complete which is a collection of over 30 UI widgets (very similar to jQuery UI). The second is Wijmo Scaffolding for MVC which builds upon the scaffolding that was released as part of the MVC 3 Tools Update (note: is does *not* build on top of powershell-based MVC Scaffolding which Microsoft released earlier this year). Some of the Wijmo...

    This post is a mile high overview of the history of ASP.NET MVC, the features it brought with the various versions and the extensibility points introduced. I am starting to work on both a series of webcasts and articles and I was doing some preparatory work, collecting information on the various features and extensibility points that got into the various (official) releases of ASP.NET MVC, so I thought it could have been useful to share my little summary. There have been 3 major official r...

    It’s the beginning of the year again, and exactly as last year, on the 13th of January I’m reviewing the year that passed against the my 2010 resolutions, and see how it went. Who did 2010 go? Before starting the list I want to add a resolutions that I didn’t disclose with my 2010 resolutions: I wanted to move out of Italy in 2010. And since now I’m living in Belgium I think the biggest goal form 2010 was accomplished. But all the other resolutions where a bit shadowed by the big effort need...

    The goal of this blog entry is to provide you with enough information to start working with jQuery Templates. jQuery Templates enable you to display and manipulate data in the browser. For example, you can use jQuery Templates to format and display a set of database records that you have retrieved with an Ajax call. jQuery Templates supports a number of powerful features such as template tags, template composition, and wrapped templates. I’ll concentrate on the features that I think that yo...

    If you are a ASP.NET web developer than chances are that you have heard of or dealt with problems related to “Magic Strings”. Magic strings are taboo because they introduce a degree of fragility in your code due to the fact that they are not strongly typed. The classic example, is referencing a View Name or Route in your controller action using a string value: public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { return RedirectToAction(Foo } public ActionResult Foo() { ...

    Sign up here for Headspring popular boot camp class. The April boot camp cover ASP.NET MVC (version 1 and 2). Jimmy Bogard, principal consultant and author, is the trainer for this class, and Jeffrey Palermo (me) is the assistant trainer.

The material comes directly from how Headspring uses ASP.NET M...

    Recently my company just released the first version of a new MVC web site: AlbumCredits.com.  This project, led by Oskar Austegard, is was I consider a highly successful real-world implementation of MVC. In a time when most music these days is downloaded, the production and performance engineers, and recording professionals that work on the music don’t always get credit because there is no CD booklet to look through.  Album Credits is almost like a LinkedIn for recording professionals.  From t...
