    This is the third post in a series about rebuilding one of my Web sites, which has been around for 12 years. I hope to relaunch in the next month or two. More: Part I: Evolution, and death to WCF Part II: Hot data objects I finally hit a point in the re-do of CoasterBuzz where I feel like the major pieces are in place... rewritten, ported and what not, so that I can focus now on front-end design and more interesting creative problems. I've been asked on more than one occasion (OK, just...

    Today I had my first live webcast for Microsoft Belgium, about the new features released with ASP.NET MVC 4 at Build in September. There were around 80+ people registered and around 50 people attending, and almost nobody left before the end of the webcast, so I guess it pretty well. We also are aware there were some glitches in the audio during the async part of the webcast: the audio was also recorded directly from the mic, so the video that will be published in the next week on Channel9 wi...

    I 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...

    Last week, Phil Haack wrote a post on how to build a NuGet Server. A NuGet server is really easy to build because 90% of the work is done by running a NuGet command. Just for fun, I decided to add some extra functionality to my NuGet Server such as a package upload form and a formatted list of packages. In preparing my NuGet server, I followed Phil’s direction to a tee except for the fact that I used a “empty MVC 3 app with Razor support” instead of using a “ASP.NET Empty Web Application”. ...

    With 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...

    A few weeks ago, I finally finished the migration of Daniela’s old blog to a new domain and a new blogging platform: we moved from Subtext to WordPress. The reasons of the move There are two reason behind that move: the big ecosystem around WordPress, and the lack of a real desktop blogging tool on the Mac (combined to the outdated FCKeditor 2 that is used by Subtext). During the migration Daniela thought about a different Information Architecture of her content spread around in the web, d...
