IronJSMVC: Script ASP.NET MVC in JavaScript using IronJS(pietschsoft.com)

submitted by pwhe23(972) 3 days, 19 hours ago

Personally, I enjoy writing much of my applications using a statically typed language such as C#. However, I would really prefer to be able to write UI logic and script certain parts of my applications using a dynamic language if I could. I was thinking about this and the following question came to mind: What would it be like to write an ASP.NET MVC application entirely using JavaScript? read more...

Hostile code bases(tatiyants.com)

submitted by pwhe23(972) 4 months, 18 days ago

I don't like calling code bases legacy. The word "legacy" makes people think of Ivy League schools, vintage leather couches, and Dad's old bottle of Scotch. It rarely elicits the kind of feeling of pain and despair one normally gets when dealing with old code. So instead, I prefer to call crusty old code Hostile. read more...

Dodgy Coder: Modern Cross Platform Development(www.dodgycoder.net)

submitted by pwhe23(972) 4 months, 22 days ago

Why isn't there a modern technology available for using the same codebase to produce native apps on all of the currently popular platforms - I'm talking iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch), Android, Windows, Mac and Linux? That was my original question before I started looking, and since then I've discovered there actually are plenty of new options out there for cross platform development catering for all of the above platforms. read more...

A plea for progressive enhancement(stephanierieger.com)

submitted by pwhe23(972) 4 months, 22 days ago

This is vitally important people so listen up. The web now connects a third of our planet. Over 1.2 billion people [1] use the web on devices, and this number is rising fast. Mobile already amounts to close to 6.5% of web traffic worldwide, and large sites such as Facebook and YouTube routinely report mobile traffic of at least 30%. By 2015, the ITU predicts mobile traffic will exceed desktop traffic and the ‘mobile-mostly’ group already make up a staggering 20% of users in the US and UK. read more...

Vulnerabilities in .NET Framework Could Allow Elevation of Privilege(technet.microsoft.com)

submitted by pwhe23(972) 4 months, 22 days ago

This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability and three privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft .NET Framework. The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if an unauthenticated attacker sends a specially crafted web request to the target site. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take any action in the context of an existing account on the ASP.NET site, including executing arbitrary commands. In order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be able to register an account on the ASP.NET site, and must know an existing user name. read more...

Monadic Philosophy Part 2 – The LINQ Monad(devhawk.net)

submitted by pwhe23(972) 4 months, 22 days ago

If you don't come from a math or philosophy background (and I don't) "monad" sounds like a made-up word. Of course, understanding OO's use of terms like "class" and "object" can be hard to grok at first too. But at least those terms have some grounding in real-world concepts that non-math geeks come across. Because I couldn't draw an analogy of monads to anything at first, it made grasping the concept of monads very hard for me. read more...
