NHibernate and Execution Plans(objectreference.net)

submitted by Vort3XVort3X(1335) 2 years, 7 months ago

Lately we have been investigating ORM’s (Object Relational Mapping) frameworks for use on a large enterprise level website which we been given the rare opportunity to rebuild from the ground up in Microsoft MVC. We decided to go ahead with NHibernate until stumbled across a major issue causing queries run by NHibernate not re-using SQL Server execution plans. read more...

Automatically minify and combine JavaScript in Visual Studio(encosia.com)

submitted by gt1329agt1329a(7849) 3 years ago

As you begin developing more complex client-side functionality, managing the size and shape of your JavaScript includes becomes a key concern. It’s all too easy to accidentally end up with hundreds of kilobytes of JavaScript spread across many separate HTTP requests, significantly slowing down your initial page loads. I hope you’ll find that this technique is a good compromise between the tedium of using manual minification tools and the overwrought complexity of setting up some of the more “enterprisey” automation solutions. read more...

Kona 3: Learning Behavior Driven Development (BDD)(blog.wekeroad.com)

submitted by LordLord(3737) 3 years ago

Holy cow! Another *DD – man I really must have an IV with that Alt.NET Punch just coursing like a train in my veins! I ask for your patience with this one – cause I think BDD is a really good tool to know – whether you use it or not – knowing the workings of it will allow you to have some intelligent conversation the next time you’re in Austin :). read more...

How Rapid is Rapid? How Quick is Quick?(rocksolid.gibraltarsoftware.com)

submitted by jcincottajcincotta(341) 3 years ago

An unusual take on the importance of raw performance in logging systems. Sometimes less is more. Rather, in logging, as in most software design challenges, keeping the big picture in mind is the most important thing. Concepts extend to other design topics. read more...

Code Generation Should be the Nuclear Option(codethinked.com)

submitted by justin_etheredgejustin_etheredge(8539) 3 years ago

So let me first just start off by saying: I do not like code generation. In certain cases I think it can help greatly, but many people are far too eager to jump to this solution. I don't think that there is anything particularly evil about the process of generating code, but I do feel like using code generation as a day to day tool is a very bad practice. Code generation should be the tool of last resort when there is no good way to cleanly implement a solution which doesn't require code to be spread out everywhere. read more...

Creating Visual Studio Templates from your Web Projects(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahlrstrahl(7226) 3 years ago

Visual Studio has the nice capability to create project templates from existing projects and with a little bit of work it's real easy to create a project environment that's ready to roll without having to dig for related components first. This applies to Web projects more than anything for me as I have a fair bit of generic utility code that is project specific and needs to be added to just about all projects. Templates make this real quick and easy. Here's how. read more...

ASP.Net – Never again fear publishing your website with debug=true(blog.aggregatedintelligence.com)

submitted by crpietschmanncrpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 1 month ago

What makes the deployment element special is that it is a machine level configuration element. When its retail attribute is set to true, it will disable the <compilation debug=”true”> for ALL ASP.Net applications running on that machine. In addition, it turns of detailed errors messages being sent to remote machines and disables the ability to trace output. read more...

I Spose I’ll Just Say It: You Should Learn MVC(blog.wekeroad.com)

submitted by crpietschmanncrpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 1 month ago

I’m never shy about my opinion – why start now? I’ve been reading a lot of posts flying about on whether you should learn MVC, Summing up the differences so you can decide when to use it, I even found a post that offers a scorecard approach! I remember reading the latter post thinking to myself “how can you possibly put a number next to Testability? And why it is only 2 more points than “using a RAD designer”? Isn’t this missing the entire point? read more...

How to improve the performances of ASP.NET MVC web applications(codeclimber.net.nz)

submitted by simonechsimonech(10.1k) 3 years, 1 month ago

Today I stumbled upon a nice presentation that Rudi Benkovic gave last week at the Slovenian DotNet User Group, about ASP.NET MVC Performances. It is an in depth analysis of a Digg-like site and how it went from serving (on a test machine) 6 req/sec to 390 req/sec. The analysis prove the usual rule of performance optimization: no matter what you do to optimize your code, the biggest performance hit is data retrieval, and the first thing you have to optimize is always this. But apart from this obvious outcome, I just want to take out from this presentation the 3 point that are really specific to ASP.NET MVC read more...

5 reasons why you should use ASP.NET MVC(blog.decayingcode.com)

submitted by arch4ngelarch4ngel(585) 3 years, 1 month ago

I’ll be fair with you readers. I’ve only toyed with the ASP.NET MVC framework. It looks great as of now but it’s the first full blown MVC framework that we have that is backed by Microsoft. However, there is a lot of opposition nowadays that tend to be formulated like this: Why should I use ASP.NET MVC? WebForms works well. Other problems come from the lack of server controls. When a developer look at that and he then wonder why he should have to write HTML and Javascript when before he could have retrieved all that beautiful information with a simple postback. read more...
