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. Web APIs The last few years have seen the rise of Web APIs - services exposed over plain HTTP rather than through a more f...

ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta
Feb 1220A few days ago we released the ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta. This is a significant release that brings with it a bunch of great new features and capabilities. The ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta release works with VS 2010 and .NET 4.0, and is side-by-side compatible with prior releases of ASP.NET MVC (meaning you can safely install it and not worry about it impacting your existing apps built with earlier releases). It supports a “go-live” license that allows you to build and deploy production apps with it. Click ...

Dec 1101Everyone collects utilities, and most folks have a list of a few that they feel are indispensable. Here's mine. Each has a distinct purpose, and I probably touch each at least a few times a week. For me, util means utilitarian and it means don't clutter my tray. If it saves me time, and seamlessly integrates with my life, it's the bomb. Many/most are free some aren't. Those that aren't free are very likely worth your 30-day trial, and perhaps your money. Here are most of the contents of my ...

Announcing the Web Standards Update - HTML5 Support for the Visual Studio 2010 Editor
Jun 1115Folks 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,...
