Book: Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework (Apress)

April 29th, 2009

Steve Sanderson’s book ‘Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework (Apress)‘ has been published!

I mention this because from Steve’s blog posts, etc… there is a wealth of information and his book is carrying that forward.   Just looking at the table of contents should give you some appreciation of the depth in which he is providing into asp.net mvc.

Looks like a ‘must have’ – congrats to Steve for getting his new book published!

(Link to Amazon – has a good price too!)

Windows Home Server

April 17th, 2009

Hanselman has posted again about Windows Home Server, this time on ‘how to upgrade your hard drives’

I looked at getting this for home, and every time he talks about it, I think ‘I need to get one of those’

I think if it can store my personal subversion repository then I’ll be sold  :)

 

UPDATE:

Setting Up SVN on Windows Home Server

DataAnnotations

April 9th, 2009

I just read a good post by Brad Wilson on the .NET 3.5 SP1 new dll ‘System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations’ with asp.net mvc.

I had originally thought this was just a part of RIA.NET (for Silverlight) – but obviously not.

He outlines what it is and how to use it with ASP.NET Mvc .  Very good stuff.

Thanks Brad!

ASP.NET Asynchronous Controllers

April 8th, 2009

Maarten Balliauw has a good blog post on the asp.net futures asynchronous controller feature.

I’m actually the one who asked him for more information on it  :)

He does a good job explaining the ‘why use it’ and how to use it, and includes some sample code.

Thanks for the post on this Maarten !
