  Index: Getting started with AngularJS Creating an AngularJS Controller The AngularJS $scope is not the MVC Model Using repeating elements in #AngularJS     In the previous  posts I showed how to get started with AngularJS and use some of the basic AngularJS directives to data bind...

  Index: Getting started with AngularJS Creating an AngularJS Controller The #AngularJS $scope is not the MVC Model   In the previous post I showed how to create and use an MVC Controller in AngularJS to manage the logic of an application. In this post I showed how to use the $scope variable...

In the previous blog post I showed how to get started with a really minimal AngularJS application. Even though the app could multiply two numbers it could hardly be called useful and as it turns out that is about as much as I could do with it. Model View Controller AngularJS is an MVC framework . So...

One of the nicer JavaScripts out there to work with must me AngularJS . Now there are quite a few other ones out there and I have used a number of them but AngularJS seems to be the most structured of them. And while it is really powerful it is also really easy to get started with. AngularJS is a client...

I really like SignalR for its capability to do push notifications from the server to the client. But there are a few thing in SignalR I am not quite happy with. Fortunately SignalR is really pluggable and you can change it to suit your needs. :-)   PascalCase versus camelCase One thing I am not...

Whatever database your are using, relational or document, there is one thing you can be certain of as soon as you get a second user of the system and that is concurrency conflicts. It may not happen often but eventually it will happen that two users load the same document, make some changes to it and...

RavenDB has a very nice feature in it being safe by default and returns just 128 documents. Now you can override these safe defaults but it is very unwise to do so. And even if you decide to do so are you really going to show a million customers to your user at the same time? I would guess not as the...

The slides from my presentation on Practical use of HTML5 for the DotNed user group.   Practical html5 from Maurice Beijer     The source code can be found here .   There is an online demo version hosted on Azure websites here .   Enjoy! Blog Post by: Maurice

Donderdag 24 januari 2013 doe ik weer een presentatie over HTML5 voor de DotNed gebruikersgroep.   Op dit moment is HTML5 een van de grote hypes. Door de HTML5 standaard te gebruiken gaan we alles anders doen op het web. Uiteraard gaat alles goed en vanaf nu werkt alles gewoon zoals verwacht op...

Some time ago I posted a blog post on Tincr and live reloading of CSS/JavaScript in Google Chrome. This works really well with one exception, on Windows 8 it will not install. When you try Chrome shows the following error message: This application is not supported on this computer. Installation has been...

As we have seen in previous blog posts getting data from a RavenDB database is easy. Either use the IDocumentSession.Query<T>() function to load a series of documents or the IDocumentSession..Load<T>() function to load a document using its identity. However sometimes we want more control...

In a previous post I explored various options of hosting RavenDB . While using RavenDB as a Windows Service or hosted in IIS is probably the best way to go in most cases there are a number of cases where the embedded option is great. And one of the places where I really like the embedded option of hosting...

In the previous blog posts about RavenDB I used the Raven.Server.exe to create a database server. Just running raven.Server.exe and connecting to it is fine for development but certainly not our only option.   Running RavenDB as a Windows Service Once you have the RavenDB.Server NuGet package you...

Quite a few people seem to be intimidated by the concept of Map-Reduce. As it turns out Map-Reduce is actually quite simple and straightforward when you get to understand the basic principle.   Basic principle The basic Map-Reduce consists of two steps. I guess you are not going to be very surprised...

In my previous two posts about RavenDB I used a Book class as the example. The first example was an ASP.NET MVC 3 application and the second was an ASP.NET MVC 4 application and I just copies the Books class from the first to the second example. As I just used the default namespace in both projects ...

Some people might have wondered why I used ASP.NET MVC 3 in my previous blog post . The reason is that the RavenDB.Client package uses Newtonsoft.Json and ASP.NET MVC 4 also has a dependency on Newtonsoft.Json. In itself this isn’t a problem except that RavenDB requires Newtonsoft.Json version 4.0.8...

RavenDB is one of the newer document type databases that is conceptually comparable to MongoDB or CouchDB . One of the nice thing about RavenDB, at least for a .NET developer, is that is has been developed with .NET in mind from the start. And this makes it really easy to get started with. In fact it...

The standard workflow with web development is run the web application, make some changes to your CSS in Visual Studio, flip back to the browser and reload the page to see the effect. While this works relatively well it can be somewhat slow at times.   One improvement is make changes to your CSS...

I recently did a blog post describing how to enable the jQuery UI drag effects. In this post I showed how to get the draggable effect to work on an iPad. While that works just fine it isn’t the end of the story. Microsoft has shipped Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10 and the jQuery UI draggable effect...

In deze podcast spreekt Maurice de Beijer met Erik van Appeldoorn over het maken van mobiele websites met ASP.NET MVC. Door de opkomst van smartphones, tablets en andere mobile devices is het van essentieel belang dat je website er ook op deze apparaten goed uit ziet en tevens handig en intuïtief functioneert...

In a previous post I showed how easy it is to create a simple chat application using SignalR . And chatting on the internet might be popular but as it turns out there are rather a lot of applications that need to do more than just chat. As it is there are a lot more CRUD style applications, where users...

One of the easy ways of speeding up a web application is by using a CDN or content delivery network. The main purpose of a CDN is serving up resources that are not specific to you site. The quintessential example of using a CDN is jQuery. There are many websites using jQuery, according to some statistics...

In a previous blog post I mentioned how exited I was about WebSockets and the future with real time duplex communication over the Internet. Unfortunately the current support for WebSockets, both on the client and on the server, is still somewhat limited making this a thing of the future. Does that mean...
