What’s new in ASP.NET MVC 4: slides and demo are now online
Jan 1217Today 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...

Web Forms Model Binding Part 3: Updating and Validation (ASP.NET 4.5 Series)
Oct 1131This is the fifth in a series of blog posts I’m doing on ASP.NET 4.5. The next releases of .NET and Visual Studio include a ton of great new features and capabilities. With ASP.NET 4.5 you’ll see a bunch of really nice improvements with both Web Forms and MVC – as well as in the core ASP.NET base foundation that both are built upon. Today’s post is the third of three posts in the series that talk about the new Model Binding support coming to Web Forms. Model Binding is an extension of the ...

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...

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...

Great Free Video Training on ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC
May 1116We’ve recently published some great end-to-end ASP.NET video training courses on the http://asp.net web-site. Created by Pluralsight (a great .NET training company), these video courses are available free of charge and provide a great way to learn (or brush-up your knowledge of) ASP.NET Web Forms 4 and ASP.NET MVC 3. Each course is taught by a single trainer, and provides a nice end-to-end curriculum (from basic concepts to working with the new Entity Framework “code first” model to securit...

EF Code First and Data Scaffolding with the ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update
May 1106Earlier this week I blogged about the new ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update that we shipped last month. In today’s blog post I’m going to go into more detail about two of the cool new features it brings: Built-in support for EF 4.1 (which includes the new EF “code-first” support) Built-in data scaffolding support within Visual Studio (which enables you to rapidly create data-driven sites) These two features provide a really sweet, and extremely powerful, way to work with data and build d...

ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update
May 1104Three weeks ago we held our MIX 2011 conference in Las Vegas. MIX is one of my favorite events of the year, and the conference always has a ton of great content and announcements. All of the keynotes and breakout sessions from the event can be watched online for free here. I’ll be doing a few posts in the upcoming weeks that also cover some highlights from it. ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update One of the announcements I made in my Day 1 keynote was the release of an ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update. Thi...

Working with SSL at Development Time is easier with IISExpress
Apr 1121One of the demos in my Mix 11 talk An Overview of the MS Web Stack of Love was showing how IIS Express and Visual Studio SP1 (as well as WebMatrix) can make working with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) a heck of a lot easier. If you've used Cassini before (that's the little built in Visual Web Developer Server) you've likely noticed that I doesn't support SSL. This makes working with real world sites a little challenging. If you want your Login pages and Account Management pages to use secure so...

Mix 11 - Web Platform and Tools Keynote Demo Script
Apr 1113It's Day 1 of the Mix 11 conference here in Las Vegas. I work for the Web Platform and Tools (that's ASP.NET, IIS, IIS Media, etc) group and I did the Web Platform demos for Scott Guthrie's part of the keynote. A lot of people in Dev and QA worked hard all year long to make some fun and cool products and as the designated talking head, I had just 16 minutes to make all of them (people + products) look good. I hope I did them all justice. We built a backend and a front end for Rob and my sie...

Modifying the default code generation/scaffolding templates in ASP.NET MVC
Mar 1128One of the things people like the most about my ASP.NE MVC 2 Ninja Black Belt Tips video, besides the Bill Cosby sweater, is the tip where I show how to modify the default CodeTemplates that are used in Code Generation in ASP.NET MVC (either version). Eilon mentioned it on an internal mailing list this week so I thought it'd be worth surfacing again in case you haven't heard of this, Dear Reader. Soon, we'll see even more powerful, flexible, and fun ways to customize your own Scaffolding ...
