The BackboneJS and Knockout Danceoff
Aug 1109I just rolled out Tekpub’s latest drop for the MVC 3 series: BackboneJS with MVC 3, and a lot of people are curious why I didn’t use Knockout. So here ya go - my thoughts on the two. http://www.pimpartworks.com/artwork/gmayhew/dance-off They Don’t Do The Same Thing It’s important to realize straight away that Knockout’s focus is different than Backbone. You can do the same things with Knockout that you can with Backbone - and vise-versa - but all they definitely are not two of the same f...

Real World Examples
Jun 1102I just pushed the first video in our new series at Tekpub - Real World ASP.NET MVC 3. I’m putting my heart and soul into this one - it means a lot to me. It’s carved right from my direct experience working in various startups over the last 12 years (minus my time at MS). It’s another of our advanced titles - and I’m also letting a bit more of my opinion into it. We Need More Of This A long while back I had a chance to talk with Geoffrey Grosenbach (the PeepCode guy) while he was here on vac...

Referencing Routes in ASP.NET MVC The Rails Way
May 1130Routing is probably the most confusing aspect of working with ASP.NET MVC. It’s hard to craft a groovy URL - even harder to link properly off to that groovy URL. Rails leans on Ruby’s forgiving and friendly nature to make this a bit more simple - C#4 allows to get close to this as well. With Rails 3 you define a route in your config/routes.rb like this: match "order/receipt/:id" => "orders#receipt", :as => :receipt # receipt_url You can access this route anywhere in your application ...

Tekpub's ASP.NET MVC 3 - Suggested Outline
May 1116In the spirit of being as transparent as possible - I thought I’d follow up on our plans for the forthcoming Mastering ASP.NET MVC 3 series. Many people have asked what we’ll be doing - so here’s what I’ve put together. Keeping It Real Overwhelmingly people have asked for a “real-world, advanced look at MVC 3”. They’re tired of the scaffold demos and Hello World things you see online. They’re impressive demos, to be sure, but don’t directly suggest to developers “this is how you can make you...

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? ...

Pushing Code to NuGet
May 1106I kicked up some dust yesterday when I suggested that pushing packages to Nuget could be a bit easier. Many retorts of “how could it possibly be simpler!?!?!?!” (I never grow tired of condescension - it makes me write posts :) and I thought to myself: “there has to be other people in my position”. So here it is - the Simple Guide To Pushing Code to Nuget - mostly for me to remember how to do it, but if you find it helpful yay! NuGet.exe The first thing you’ll need is NuGet.exe. It’s a pa...
