My Code Kata–A Solution Kata
Sunday, November 13, 2011 1:53 PM
There are many developers and coders out there who like to do code Kata’s to keep their coding ability up to scratch and to practice their skills. I think it is a good idea. While I like the concept, I find them dead boring and of minimal purpose. Yes, they serve to hone your skills but that’s about it. They are often quite abstract, in that they usually focus...

Updates to the CacheAdapter Package
Sunday, August 21, 2011 2:12 PM
Note: This post was originally going to detail the changes from 2.0 to 2.1, however in between the time of release and this post, I released 2.2 so this post will detail all the changes up to 2.2. In the last update to my CacheAdapter library (you can view it here ), I mentioned the support for memcached cache engine. That brought the version to 2.0. As previously... Read More...

Converting from Webforms view engine to Razor–Some Tips
Monday, June 06, 2011 9:16 AM
Recently, I have had to perform a lot of conversion in an MVC application from using the webforms view engine to the Razor view engine. I say “had to” but we didn’t really have to, more wanted to. We wanted the cleaner syntax that razor allows. Since we were going to embark on a bunch of new features involving new pages, we wanted to do this conversion earlier... Read More...

Diskeeper–a short review
Monday, May 16, 2011 9:23 AM
I have been lucky enough to be ASP.NET MVP for a number of years now. One of the perks of that is you get access to free licences of software such as Diskeeper . This piece of software keeps your disks running as smooth as they possibly can. I have been using Diskeeper for around 2 months now and am pretty impressed. It silently does its thing in the background... Read More...

Entity Framework and the PreApplicationStartMethod attribute
Friday, May 06, 2011 2:09 PM
Recently, while implementing an EntityFramework data model into a new application, I thought I’d add some caching functionality early, to establish a framework going forward. I added the DBML (generated from a database), and added in my funky caching layer (which will be distributed as a Nuget package soon) that allows caching to be configurable switching between...

Mix11–Day 2 Sessions
Thursday, April 14, 2011 7:49 AM
I blogged here about my Mix11 bootcamp sessions, and here about my Mix11 day 1 keynote and sessions. To continue the theme, here are some thoughts and opinions around Day 2. Keynote #2 This keynote started a little slow with some apologies and explanations around delays in Windows Phone 7 updates coming. Necessary but unexciting. After that though, things moved...

Sydney Architecture User Group - It has come to an end
Tuesday, March 22, 2011 2:57 PM
Unfortunately, the Sydney Architecture User Group that Omar Besiso and myself run in Sydney, is closing its doors. It has been running for around 2 years now and we have had some great sessions, however there are a number of factors that have caused us to make this decision. Primarily, we lost our funding. Datacom (the company I used to work for and where Omar... Read More...

My Mix11 Proposal
Thursday, January 27, 2011 6:51 AM
I only submitted one session for consideration to present at Mix this year. Unfortunately it was not shortlisted and is consequently not open to voting currently on the site. However, I thought I might post it here to gain some feedback from others as to how I might refine or change it. Maybe it is just something people are not interested in and I have taken...

ScriptHelper–For MVC and WebForms projects
Thursday, November 18, 2010 4:38 PM
This issue might seem minor but I always forget the names (exact naming) or number of script files I need to get some features working in MVC or Webforms. In addition, in my applications that require a specific client side feature, I might need a series of dependent scripts to make it work. Failing to include all of them often gives ambiguous errors or the functionality... Read More...
