Recently, a group of covert ninjas within my organization started to investigate what it would take to change our internal build and continuous integration systems (CI) to take advantage of NuGet for many of our products, and I need your input! Hmm, off by one error slays me again. -Image from Ask A Ninja. Click on the image to visit. Ok, they’re not really covert ninjas, that just sounds much cooler than a team of slightly pudgy software developers. Ok, they’ve told me to speak for myself, they’re in great shape! In...
This is the second job posting in two days for positions on the ASP.NET team, how exciting! This one is a developer position for upcoming graduates. Before I continue, I need to fulfill a promise to a co-worker to include a barely relevant stock photograph in this blog post. Good, with that out of the way, allow me to continue. If you are in college or grad school, graduating in 2010, and are looking for a great job writing code for ASP.NET, we have a position available! Send me your resume and I’ll forward it along...
The ASP.NET Team is still looking for that QA person out there who shares our passion for technology and improving the means by which software is made. Keep in mind that the QA position on our team is not someone who mindlessly follows a script hoping by sheer random luck to find bugs. Oh no no no my friends. This is considered a software development position in which you will be responsible for improving the processes and tools we have in place for ensuring quality software. You’d be involved in improving the quality of all phases of...
Today we finally officially released the beta of ASP.NET MVC (go download it already!). True, the release has actually been available online since yesterday as it was announced in a Keynote at VSLive by Scott Hanselman, but that was intended to be a special treat for attendees in what ended up being the worst kept secret in .NET-dom. As usual, to get all the details, check out the latest epic installment on ScottGu’s blog. Scott Hanselman also has a great blog post with good coverage as well. As I warned before, we no longer bundle the Mvc...
I’ve used the term “drinking from the fire hose” when describing my first days at Microsoft. However, I believe that a lot of our customers feel this way when approaching the plethora of options for web application development on the Microsoft stack. This is feedback we’ve received from many sources and as Scott Hanselman pointed out, there’s a concerted effort to make things easier to find and understand here. Much of these efforts will take time to see fruition, but some of them are happening now. The new Microsoft Web Platform Installer Beta can get you up and...
I wanted to clear up a bit of confusion I’ve seen around the web about ASP.NET MVC and the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1. ASP.NET MVC was not released as part of SP1. I repeat, ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 does not include ASP.NET MVC. What was released with SP1 was the ASP.NET Routing feature, which is in use by both ASP.NET MVC and Dynamic Data. The Routing feature is my first Framework RTM feature to ship at Microsoft! We also shipped a bunch of other features such as Dynamic Data, and this short list of breaking changes. I...
In Preview 2 or Preview 3 of ASP.NET (I forget which), we introduced the concept of Action Filters. Sounds much more exciting than your run-of-the-mill LayOnTheCouchMunchingChipsWatchingInfomercialsFilter, that I originally proposed to the team. Thankfully, that was rejected. An action filter is an attribute you can slap on an action method in order to run some code before and after the action method executes. Typically, an action filter represents a cross-cutting concern to your action method. Output caching is a good example of a cross-cutting concern. In CodePlex Preview 4 of ASP.NET MVC, we split out our action filters...
The news is out, the beta for the Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack has been released. As it relates to ASP.NET MVC, there are two important points to notice about the SP1 release:
ASP.NET MVC is not included
URL Routing is included
Now you can see why there’s been so much focus on Routing from the MVC team, as Routing is now part of the Framework and is not out-of-band. This meant that we had to put a lot more effort into Routing to make sure it was...
In a recent post I expressed a few thoughts on using a DSL instead of an XML config file. I followed that up with a technical look at monkey patching CLR objects using IronRuby, which explores a tiny bit of interop. These posts were precursors to this post in which I apply these ideas to an implementation that allows me to define ASP.NET MVC Routes using IronRuby. Also included in this download is an incomplete implementation of an IronRuby view engine. I haven't yet implemented layouts. IronRubyMvcDemo.zip Download (4.93 MB) This implementation works with the latest CodePlex...
