As a C# developer I think I’m pretty safe in saying that its not going away any time soon however, its my opinion that to not become irrelevant you need to have options.

I recently had a need to look into using Entity Framework (EF) for a ASP.NET MVC project.

In Part 1, I described how I was using the demo tutorial from SammyJS to get a better understanding of AngularJS and KnockoutJS.

As I stated in my earlier post “JavaScript is the future…maybe” so with that in mind I had to brush up my JS skills and get more involved with the language’s core concepts so after watching some videos and reading some articles I was ready to look at Knoc…

To help me expand my JavaScript knowledge as I said I would in my previous post I thought I’d write a Windows 8 application using JavaScript.

I’m not one for New Years resolutions but I thought it was time I looked at JavaScript more in depth.

When a new project comes along why should you automatically choose ASP.NET MVC?

I recently published WebAPI.Testing on Nuget but found it a bit tricky to build a package ready for NuGet.

As the need arose to implement some kind of Web Service/HTTP API I thought I would evaluate NancyFX, ASP.NET Web API and ServiceStack.

I recently spoke to someone about the ‘for’ loop who opened my eyes to how unstructured the ‘for’ loop is.

This happens to me too often and I always end up googling the answer so this post is probably more of a location I know I can come to find the answer, although by writing it down hopefully it may sink in that I should stop getting too excited on a new pro…

Back in July 2012 Microsoft announced improvements to Azure Web Sites.

If you’ve ever written an application that sends out email you may have written the code and executed it numerous times to check that the logic works and that the email appears as you hope.

Logging into websites is no longer a matter of typing in your username and password and clicking the login button.

In my ongoing efforts to be a better developer (plus I just like tinkering) I thought I would take a look at node.js.

Following on from my post about OSS I thought I would illustrate how cool OSS can be.

Got your attention?

As I said in my first post, NancyFX was my first port of call in my OSS adventure.
