Using ASP.NET MVC 4, ApiControllers and SQL Server 2012(galratner.com)

submitted by galratner(334) 5 days ago

ASP.NET MVC continues to innovate and in its current version (4) it offers support for Web APIs. Today we are going to examine a real life scenario of using Web APIs along with MVC 4 as we are utilizing the Google Earth plug-in to mark a defined area and SQL Server 2012 geography type to help us persist and calculate GIS data. In our example we are going to mark an area on the globe using a polygon, calculate the center of the area, find all of the coffee shops closest to the center of the area and arrange them by distance. We are going to mark them on the map as well as show a full list including ranking. read more...

Creating a Centralized NuGet Packages Folder(www.chrispoulter.com)

submitted by chrispoulter(105) 15 days, 6 hours ago

I would imagine most people by now will have discovered and use the NuGet Visual Studio extension (http://www.nuget.org/). It is a great way of adding and maintaining 3rd party code libraries in your projects.

By default NuGet downloads the source code for these packages into a new "packages" folder in your project/solution root directory.
