I’ve been very busy last month working for our new customer Nick, from UK. We are developing a new module for his ASP.NET Recruitment System. We worked almost 15 hours a day for the past week to finish with the tricky module on time !
That is why I haven’t updated my blog in a long time. I just had some time to read the hot topics in the blogs, and some other articles that helped me a lot with my current assignment. So these are some of the bookmarked links for October:
- ASP.NET MVC Framework announced
Without any doubts, the hottest announcement during October. Microsoft plans to ship a Model View Controler version for ASP.NET so you will be able to use this well known architecture in a simple way with ASP.NET.
Expose the database in a REST format with this new tool from MS. Big companies such as Ebay and Amazon uses this model for exposing the data, and even when it can reduce the data load and perform faster, for certain scenarios I believe that WebServices are still needed. It needs entity framework in order to work.
Samples, tutorials and simple tasks you can do with Silverlight 1.1.
Understand how the update panel works, and avoid some common mistakes when working with it.
Use these scripts to add AJAX functionality to ANY kind of website. These will definitely help to have your visitors happier.
NHibernate Data Source Control
A datasource control for NHibernate. If you use this ORM you must give it a try !
I hope these few links help you to be updated in this evolving world. Stay tuned, this week I’ll be writting about our outsourcing experience from Uruguay !
