MVC Strongly-Typed Action Helpers - They're Back!

Wed, 23 May 2012 13:24:27 GMT

A XAML Guy digs into ASP.NET MVC4 (Part 1 of ?)

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:39:26 GMT

Introduction Through and through I love XAML. I love building and working with SL, WPF, WP7, and Windows 8 XAML Metro Apps. But one thing that I'm aiming for is to have an understanding of other web applications frameworks (MVC in particular). Mainly for two reasons, to become better informed and for my passion of helping customers of Telerik to find suitable web solutions (be it Silverlight, WebForms, MVC, etc). I am not brand new to MVC as I have worked with it before, but I feel that it is time for me start "from scratch" and document my experience. As I've said many times before this blog was created for me as a quick reminder of how I did something. If anyone benefited from reading what I wrote then that was just a bonus. If you already know MVC then you won't get much out of this series. If you are a XAML person, and want to see what the other side looks like then stick around. I'm sure I'll make plenty of mistakes but hopefully we can learn together.
