Painless Caching, Memoization for .NET

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:00:02 GMT

When searching for .NET discussions of I-don't-even-remember, I somehow came across Dustin Campbell's blog post about automatic memoization with C#. I instantly remembered first reading about this topic in Higher Order Perl, which at the time introduced me to this handy technique using the delegate pattern. After looking over Dustin's code, I liked the simplicity of wrapping any delegate with a single method call. This makes for an academic discussion, but I thought this could be much more practical if we abstracted the concept a bit more.

Large or asynchronous file uploads in ASP.NET MVC

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 19:30:01 GMT

The challenge of uploading large files in ASP.NET through HTTP is not a new challenge. In addition to handling large files, users often request an experience that shows the progress of an upload as it occurs. When you have either or both of these requirements, or if you simply need direct control of a stream of file data uploaded from a browser, you invariably hit the wall. I set about solving the problem in an ASP.NET MVC-specific way.

Improve your jQuery - 25 excellent tips

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 03:01:14 GMT

jQuery is awesome. I've been using it for about a year now and although I was impressed to begin with I'm liking it more and more the longer I use it and the more I find out about it's inner workings. I'd call myself an "intermediate" jQuery user and I thought some others out there could benefit from all the little tips, tricks and techniques I've learned over the past year. The article also ended up being a lot longer than I thought it was going to be so I'll start with a table of contents so you can skip to the bits you're interested in.
