Functional .NET – Lose the Magic Strings
In this current series that I’m running as a follow-up to my presentation last week on Applied Functional Programming, we’re talking about ways we can improve our code with functional techniques. The ideas presented here are things that are being used in applications today, and learning from them can help you write more concise and flexible code.

[ANN] DC ALT.NET Meeting 1/28/2009 – Selenium + FitNesse
The January meeting of DC ALT.NET will be held on the 28th from 7-9PM. This month, we’re having Jay Flowers talk with us about web testing with Selenium and FitNesse. This is a great follow-on conversation to the conversation with John Morales on Selenium that we had back in November of last year. This is in part of the back to basics that this group will be following in the oncoming year. Taking cues from the Philly ALT.NET Foundation Series, and the TDD FireStarter in Tampa, I think there is a bit we can do in the Washington, DC area to shake things up a bit.

ASP.NET MVC with NHaml - F# Edition
As part of some of my adventures with F#, I've seen a lot of interesting things coming from others with regards to SharePoint, ASP.NET and other technologies. This had me thinking of any possibilities and ramifications of using F# with ASP.NET MVC. Was it possible, and better question, what might make someone use this over their existing toolsets. Those are some of the questions to explore. But, in the mean time, let's take the journey of F# and ASP.NET MVC.

DC ALT.NET - Building ASP.NET MVC Apps Wrapup
I want to thank Troy Goode for his presentation tonight at DC ALT.NET. He gave a great demo of how to build from scratch an ASP.NET MVC blog engine, which is a lot to ask given our two hour timeframe. And yet, he pulled it off nicely. As promised, Troy has posted his materials from the presentation here.

RockNUG IoC Container Presentation Wrapup
I want to thank the fine folks at the Rockville .NET Users Group (RockNUG) and Dean Fiala for giving me the opportunity to speak last night. It was a record crowd last night, so I'm glad that people were interested in Loose Coupling, Design Patterns, Test Driven Development, Behavior Driven Development and Inversion of Control containers. I hope everyone got some good information, and if not interested in using containers, design patterns and such, at least know they exist and have their use. Based on the feedback I've already received, it was warming and why I like presenting at user groups, so that both of us can learn.
Once again, I'd like to plug my DC ALT.NET group that I run. Our next meeting is scheduled for April 23rd and the topic will be Continuous Integration with Jay Flowers. We'll announce the location shortly for our group. You can go ahead and sign up for our mailing list here.
Anyhow, here are some resources that can help point you in the right direction. This includes articles, blogs and such that I find will be useful in your journey to better understand these things:

- Blogs
- Books

ASP.NET MVC Source Code Now Available
As of yesterday, the ASP.NET MVC Release 2 source code has been made available on CodePlex. ScottGu made the source drop announcement earlier this morning. Congrats to Phil Haack and the ASP.NET MVC Team for shipping the source code. It's worth noting, it's not Open Source in the way that it's just a zip file and no outside patches are to be accepted, unlike IronRuby. The plan going forward is to make incremental drops of the source code going forward.
As always, check out Jeffrey Palermo's MVCContrib project for contributions to the code base, which is open source.

Videos and Interviews from MIX08
Well, I've had the urge to find all the videos I could and watch them to find out all the goodies I missed while not at MIX08. If you missed any of the main sessions, you can find out more about them here. Note that there are 88 sessions recorded here, so it's a lot of good viewing material.
Best of all are Scott Hanselman's MVC Videos can be seen here. He also covers the MVC Mock Helpers which better allow for unit tests using various Mock frameworks including Rhino Mocks, TypeMock.NET and Moq.
Dave Laribee was great on Twitter to make sure we were all kept up to date with all the good things that were happening. Brendan Tompkins supplied Dave with a video phone so that he could capture impromptu videos and such. But, best of all they were broadcasted live. He was able to talk to guys like Rob Conery, Phil Haack, Steve Harman, Miguel, John Lam, Scott Hanselman and Josh Holmes. Very cool stuff! They were pretty good and entertaining, although the video wasn't always superb and sometimes you needed motion sickness pills. But, the sessions of note are:
- Phil Haack interview
- Capturing Hanselminutes
- Rob Conery and Steve Harman interview
- Miguel de Icaza interview
- Pablo Castro interview
- John Lam interview
- Microsoft Surface demo
- Josh Holmes interview
- Phil Haack interview
