Dependency injection, providers and ASP.NET MVC
I've been thinking a lot about all of the frameworks we have now to use with our, uh, frameworks. There's a framework to solve every problem. Dependency injection frameworks are of particular interest to a lot of people because they make unit testing...
Under the covers of HTML helpers in ASP.NET MVC
Coming from the Webforms world, the thing you might miss most when using ASP.NET MVC is the ability to create rich Web controls that generate all kinds of markup and do nifty things. HTML helpers do similar work, even if their plumbing is different, and...
CoasterBuzz Feed: A Silverlight 3 story
A few weeks ago, I decided to jump in and do a "science project" with Silverlight 3. My prior experiences with Silverlight involved a simple DeepZoom viewer that happened to use a Web service as its tile source, and a file uploader that cut up multiple...
The Silverlight 3 development experience, ups and downs
I started a little science project for CoasterBuzz about a week ago or so. I wanted to build a little Silverlight app that sucked down updates of all kinds, and make it live outside the browser. There are constantly new posts, topics, news items and photos...
Silverlight 3: Calling a WCF service without a proxy using Binary XML
David Betz has a really solid (and really, really long) post on calling a WCF service from Silverlight, without using a Service Reference. I'm certainly not going to try and top that or duplicate it, but I wanted to share my experience using the same...

Silverlight 3 and Twitter
The Twitterworld or (Twittersphere or whatever silly shit someone made up today) was all abuzz about the release of Silverlight 3 today, and I was shocked at how quickly it made the trends and how overwhelmingly it was positive. I kind of knew it was...
304 Your images from a database
I was reading somewhere about some anecdotal evidence that Google doesn't like to index images that don't have some kind of modification time on them. When I relaunched CoasterBuzz last year, I moved all of my coaster pr0n to the database, and I've since...
Webforms vs. MVC, the desire to rewrite everything, an unexpected benefit
I read a good post today about the silly wars that go on in versus debates, in this case the arguments about whether to use Webforms or MVC for ASP.NET . I kind of saw this storm coming when people started describing themselves as part of the alternative...
Silverlight request: Make it work for iPhone apps
Obviously Silverlight runs on OS X. That much we know, since developers like me use it for non-development tasks instead of Windows. How difficult would it be to adapt it to stand-alone apps on the iPhone? Even if it had to include the runtime and base...
