Feb 1224Earlier this week I blogged about the release of the ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta. ASP.NET MVC 4 is a significant update that brings with it a bunch of great new features and capabilities. One of the improvements I’m most excited about is the support it brings for creating “Web APIs”. Today’s blog post is the first of several I’m going to do that talk about this new functionality.

Now Visual Studio 2010 supports new web standards
Jun 1116Today the Web Platform and Tools team (I can see the influence of Mads in this) announced the release of the Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1. What sits behind this cryptic name? Shouldn’t Visual Studio already support web standards? Actually, not the latest ones. In January Microsoft released the support for HTML5 in the context of intellisense and validation in VS2010 SP1, but all the other related standards, CSS3 and all the new JavaScript standards were left o...

Announcing the Web Standards Update - HTML5 Support for the Visual Studio 2010 Editor
Jun 1115Folks have been asking When will VS2010 support HTML5?

We've said before that the next version of Visual Studio will have better support HTML5, but what about today? Today,...

Building a Self Updating Site Using NuGet
Jan 1116For 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...
