Scott Hanselman's 2011 Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows
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 ...

Techniques for real-time client-server communication on the web (SignalR to the rescue)
Nov 1129When building web applications, you often face the fact that HTTP, the foundation of the web, is a request/response protocol. A client issues a request, a server handles this request and sends back a response. All the time, with no relation between the first request and subsequent requests.

Today users expect that in their projects, sorry, experience...

Summer time learning: Getting started with Node.js
Aug 1131It is now a consolidate tradition for me to publish, during summer time, a list of the books I liked reading or that I bought and are sitting on my shelves (or, lately, more and more on my iPad) waiting to be read. In the last years these lists contained .NET and development methodologies books and web development books (jQuery and JavaScript). The topics of the book in this year’s list are a bit different. There will still be a bit of web development on .NET, but due to the nature of the pr...

Creating a Custom ASP.NET MVC Project Template
Jun 1106When you create a new ASP.NET MVC 3 project, the new project wizard dialog contains several options for different MVC project templates: Empty Internet Application Intranet Application (new in the April 2011 Tools update) There’s a lot of white space in that dialog. To many of you, all that unsullied territory smells like opportunity. When I talk about this dialog, I go to great pains to tell folks that, yes!, you too can extend that dialog and add your own project templates in there...
