One of the things people like the most about my ASP.NE MVC 2 Ninja Black Belt Tips video , besides the Bill Cosby sweater, is the tip where I show how to modify the default CodeTemplates that are used in Code Generation in ASP.NET MVC (either version). Eilon mentioned it on an internal mailing list this week so I thought it'd be worth surfacing again in case you haven't heard of this, Dear Reader. Soon, we'll see even more powerful, flexible, and fun ways to customize your own Scaffolding in ASP.NET MVC 3, so keep an eye out, 'cause it's coming. Bring the CodeTemplates local to your project When you use the Visual Studio "tooling" (that means dialogs and stuff) to Add View or Add Controller, you're actually...
Thank you everyone who attended my half-day workshop on jQuery and ASP.NET at ASP.NET Connections in Florida!

Have you implemented the NuGet Action Plan ? Get on it, it'll take only 5 minutes: NuGet Action Plan - Upgrade to 1.1, Setup Automatic Updates, Get NuGet Package Explorer .

You know, really useful stuff that folks might otherwise not find. I'll look for mostly open source projects, ones I think are really useful. I'll look at how they built their NuGet packages, if there's anything interesting about the way the designed the out of the box experience (and anything they could do to make it better) as well as what the package itself does.

A few weeks ago I blogged about a great ASP.NET MVC 3 video training course from Pluralsight that was made available for free for 48 hours for people to watch. The feedback from the people that had a chance to watch it was really fantastic. We also received feedback from people who really wanted to watch it – but unfortunately weren’t able to within the 48 hour window. The good news is that we’ve worked with Pluralsight to make the course available for free again until March 18th. You can watch any of the course modules for free, through March 18th, on the www.asp.net/mvc website here : The 6 videos in this course are a total of 3 hours and 17 minutes long, and provide a nice overview of the new features introduced with ASP...
