We shipped Orchard 0.8 on Monday and it’s the last release we will make before 1.0, which is scheduled for January 2011. We think it’s a pretty nice release in that it wraps up the UI story for the platform. 1. New theme engine with Razor and Clay ASP...
Before I joined Microsoft seven years ago, I had spent a couple of years building a Web CMS. It wasn’t open-source unfortunately but the experience convinced me that most public-facing web sites would shortly use some form of CMS. I also forged strong...
When we added RSS to Orchard , we wanted to make it easy for any module to expose any contents as a feed. We also wanted the rendering of the feed to be handled by Orchard in order to minimize the amount of work from the module developer. A typical example...

Don’t read too much into this, but I’d love to read your feedback on this. I’m compiling a list of stuff that smells in WebForms when used as a view engine in MVC. Along the lines of: Noisy page directives that are useless for MVC runat=server Page lifecycle...
I quite like MoQ because it makes sense for me. Shamefully, I’ve always had some trouble understanding test code that was using mocks built with other frameworks. With MoQ , I can just grok it for some reason. It’s just super-clear to me. It doesn’t mean...
Stephen Walther just published links to the video, slides and sample code for his Ajax talk at MIX09: http://stephenwalther.com/blog/archive/2009/03/22/mix-slides-code-and-session-recording.aspx It’s pretty cool to see all the work we put into Ajax this...
