Owin, Katana and getting started
This article describes an emerging open source specification, referred to as Owin – An Open Web Interface for .Net, what it is, and how this might be beneficial to the .Net technology stack. It will also provide a brief, concise look at how to get started with Owin and related technologies. In my initial investigations with Owin and how to play with it, I found lots of conflicting documentation and unclear ways of how to make it work and why. This article is an attempt to better articulate those steps so that you may save yourself lots of time and come to a clearer understanding in a much shorter time than I did.

Converting from Webforms view engine to Razor–Some Tips
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.

Entity Framework and the PreApplicationStartMethod attribute
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 in memory, ASP.NET cache and AppFabric caching.

ScriptHelper–For MVC and WebForms projects
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 or feature just doesn't work.

ASP.NET MVC 3 and Custom Extensions
When playing with the latest ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview 1 bits, some people have mentioned their dislike of the .cshtml extension used for the “razor” view engine that comes with ASP.NET MVC 3 and also WebMatrix. Well there are a number of ways you can change this. For the purposes of learning and tinkering, I decided to try and register a new view engine using the new Dependency Injection support within ASP.NET MVC 3.

ASP.NET MVC and IE8 WebActivities
One of the great things in readify is the ability to do Professional Development at scheduled intervals to keep up to speed with the latest industry technologies and advancements. My latest foray into this (amongst other things) has been looking at the ASP.NET MVC framework and Internet Explorer 8 WebActivities. Both of these technologies are quite cool and I wanted a way to learn about them both and link them in some way where I could learn about them at the same time.

Web Client Software Factory and Enterprise Library. I want to Opt-in, not Opt-out.
I am a fan of the Web Client Software factory. Its a pretty good implementation of the MVP pattern within ASP.NET. Pretty lean and clean and doesn't involve lots of effort to get the simple stuff done, unlike a lot of other MVC based implementations/frameworks.

Website update with AJAX, WPF Password Manager, and Web Client Factory
Couple of things in this post. Firstly (and long overdue), I have updated my personal website to get rid of the Atlas CTP functionality and replace that with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 features. There is not much actually a few update panels, and the inclusion of an AJAX Control toolkit control, the Accordion on the front page to help with useability and screen real estate. Here is a screen shot of the new layout:
