    Announcing the Web Standards Update - HTML5 Support for the Visual Studio 2010 Editor

    Folks have been asking When will VS2010 support HTML5? I've been saying, jokingly, that the answer is yesterday as there's nothing keeping you from creating HTML5 in Visual Studio or ASP.NET today. However, there's no intellisense and there's lots of squiggly lines that make people uncomfortable. Combine all that with the fact that HTML5 is a moving target, and it's unclear. We've said before that the next version of Visual Studio will have better support HTML5, but what about today? Today,...

    I 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...

    For those of you who enjoy learning about a technology via screencast, I’ve recorded a video to accompany and complement this blog post. The screencast shows you what this package does, and the blog post covers more of the implementation details. A key feature of any package manager is the ability to let you know when there’s an update available for a package and let you easily install that update. For example, when we deployed the release candidate for NuGet, the Visual Studio Extension M...

    ASP.NET and HTML5 Local Storage

    My favorite feature of HTML5, hands-down, is HTML5 local storage (aka DOM storage). By taking advantage of HTML5 local storage, you can dramatically improve the performance of your data-driven ASP.NET applications by caching data in the browser persistently. Think of HTML5 local storage like browser cookies, but much better. Like cookies, local storage is persistent. When you add something to browser local storage, it remains there when the user returns to the website (possibly days or month...

    In this blog post, I will cover two interesting tools that, when combined, can bring great value and speed at the beginning of any new software project that has to meet standards that are to be re-used for every project. The tools? Templify and NuGet. You know the drill. Starting off with a new project usually consists of boring, repetitive tasks, often enforced by (good!) practices defined by the company you work for (or by yourself for that company). To give you an example of a project Ive...

    My team has been hard at work the past few weeks cranking out code and today we are releasing the second preview of NuGet (which you may have heard referred to as NuPack in the past, but was renamed for CTP 2 by the community). If you’re not familiar with what NuGet is, please read my introductory blog post on the topic. For a detailed list of what changed, check out the NuGet Release Notes. To see NuGet in action, watch the talk that Scott Hanselman’s gave at the Professional Developer’s ...
