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

submitted by crpietschmann(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 simonech(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...

Kobe – In the nuts & bolts and don’t really liking it(ayende.com)

submitted by Lord(3737) 3 years, 1 month ago

There is another ASP.Net MVC sample app, this time it is official, passed the proper review procedure, and is explicitly marketed as “intended to guide you with the planning, architecting, and implementing of Web 2.0 applications and services.” I am saying all of that in order to distinguish it from Oxite, which was non of this things. There have been a couple of reviews of Kobe already. Frankly, I don’t really care for them, mostly because I think that they dealt too much with nitty gritty details of the app that doesn’t really matter much. I don’t much care for extra using or the use of System.Int32 vs. int, the naming convention used or even what sort of HTML formatting they used. I mostly care about the code and architecture. So I decided to take a look myself. read more...

Kobe – MS New Web 2.0 Resource Kit in ASP.NET MVC and My thoughts(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by jantu(1045) 3 years, 1 month ago

If you recently visited the home page of www.asp.net you will find that Microsoft has released a new Resource Kit for developing Web 2.0 Applications. The resource kit contains a sample reference application that is developed in ASP.NET MVC framework. Since both of these are my area of of interest, I downloaded the codes and give a quick walkthrough. Prior getting to the main discussion, I just want to remind you that it is the second reference application (after Oxite) that is named under Microsoft, so you are suppose to get some quality.... read more...

Using jQuery Grid With ASP.NET MVC(haacked.com)

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

Continuing in my pseudo-series of posts based on my ASP.NET MVC Ninjas on Fire Black Belt Tips Presentation at Mix (go watch it!), this post covers a demo I did not show because I ran out of time. It was a demo I held in my back pocket just in case I went too fast and needed one more demo. A common scenario when building web user interfaces is providing a pageable and sortable grid of data. Even better if it uses AJAX to make it more responsive and snazzy. Since ASP.NET MVC includes jQuery, I figured it’d be fun to use a jQuery plugin for this demo, so I chose jQuery Grid. read more...
