Compare IronRuby with C#, Smile and Learn as well
know, Ruby languages always fascinated you with many of its great features and Rails always added, lots of smile to it.
Its time to smile more with IronRuby, for various reasons
An Adobe evangelist gives his opinion on Silverlight
I do NOT work for Adobe. I do NOT work for Microsoft. I do not work for Borland. I do not work for Oracle. I do not work for any competing manufacturer of any kind. I am Joe Developer. In the end, it’s folks like ME that will decide which technology survives and which dies - simply by our choices.Introduction to the Ninject IoC Container
Short screencast that will walk you through how to use the Ninject IoC (Inversion of Control) Container. This episode will also review the basics of the Strategy Pattern as it is critical to IoC.Learning Ruby via IronRuby and C# Part 3
In the previous part of my series about learning Ruby using C# we discussed constructors, instance methods, parameters, and then touched on blocks a bit at the end. Well, in this post we are going to delve a bit further into classes by talking about static methods (class methods in Ruby) , a bit more info about parameters, and then finish it up with some tidbits about conditionals and loops.25 Resources for Tuning Your .NET Application Performance
A great list of resources, including MSDN links, guides and .NET blogs, about improving .NET performance.Detecting Windows Safe Mode (C#)
Microsoft Windows can start in a special mode known as "Safe Mode". In this mode, certain drivers are disabled and networking may not be available. If your software requires this missing functionality, problems may occur.Sneak peeks into the new F# project system, part one
We're getting closer to the next major release of F#: our first CTP release out of Developer Division. As a result, now is a good time for me to start talking about some of what I've been working on for the past few months: the F# project system. Over the coming weeks I'll describe some of the new-to-F# project system features we'll deliver in the CTP, providing a "sneak peek" at what's coming.Using Generics and Anonymous Methods to your advantage - a recursive alternative
Awhile ago, I was conversing with someone about the features of the newer .Net Framework versions. One of the features mentioned was generics. My friend mentioned that he really liked the concept and recently started using them, but that he still couldn't quite see how generic collections could really be put to work. Ok... so that's the lead in for today's post - generics, collections, and 1 more "new" feature called anonymous methods.IronRuby With ASP.NET MVC Working Prototype
In June, John Lam wrote about a demo he gave at Tech-Ed 2008 where he showed IronRuby running on ASP.NET MVC. He posted the code for the demo online, but it relied on an unreleased version of MVC, so the code didn’t actually work. Now that Preview 4 is out, I revisited the prototype and got it working again. I use the term working loosely here. Yeah, it works, but it is really rough around the edges. As in, get a bunch of splinters rough. At least it looks better as I did take a moment to use a CSS layout from Free CSS Templates slightly tweaked by me.The Future of ASP.NET AJAX
Bertrand LeRoy recently published a 13 page document on CodePlex, describing the ASP.NET Team’s goals for the future of ASP.NET AJAX. It’s been available for two weeks now, but there has been little reaction to it online and less than 8,000 people have downloaded it. I’m surprised, considering its importance.Getting IronRuby Up and Running
I wanted to have a little walk-through on getting IronRuby up and running. I am normally a C# guy and this is usually a C# blog, but I think that exposure to dynamic languages is very important. Since .net is starting to get a bit dynamic (with IronPython, Boo (kinda), IronPython, and VB.net 10 (kinda)), I think that developers are going to start seeing this stuff more and more. Because of this I have created this little walk-through, but this month if you are in the Richmond VA area we are going to have our Meet and Code dinner (on the 31st of July 2008) on dynamic languages.ASP.NET MVC Preview 4 Release (Part 1)
The ASP.NET MVC team is in the final stages of finishing up a new "Preview 4" release that they hope to ship later this week. The Preview 3 release focused on finishing up a lot of the underlying core APIs and extensibility points in ASP.NET MVC. Starting with Preview 4 this week you'll start to see more and more higher level features begin to appear that build on top of the core foundation and add nice productivity.Silverlight control samples for Beta 2
Shawn has updates the Silverlight Control tutorial for Beta 2. Not only is this a good thing because of some of the changes in the Silverlight platform, but there was a big addition that greatly simplifies creating controls, Visual State Manager (VSM).Introduction to Port-Based Asynchronous Messaging
Learn about the terminology and philosophy behind building and coordinating massively concurrent software. Based on Microsoft's Concurrency and Coordination Runtime. Covers messages, queues, ports, arbiters, dispatchers, tasks, and more.How to Videos: Windows Presentation Foundation
I am starting to research Windows Presentation Foundation for a demonstration that I am working on and one of the resources that I was pointed to was the 3 videos that I am linking to below. In addition to that, there are some Virtual Labs, provided by Microsoft, that look promising. After I’ve gone through them, I will post the ones that I think are descent (from my perspective). In the meantime, check out these videos, when you have some time, especially the first one, if you are a beginner on the subject like I am.List of LINQ Providers
I was looking for a LINQ provider for LDAP this morning and ran across Charlie Calvert’s blog that had a great list of Hyperlinks to other LINQ Providers. I will list them below, to save you one click, but you should look at Charlie’s blog, it’s pretty good (I have subscribed to his feed).Windows 7 to borrow from .NET
The conference agenda for Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC) 2008 lists sessions that overview how Windows 7 will have native support for WCF and WPF features in presumably un-managed code.Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant (Firefox browser extension) - Michael's Blog

101 LINQ examples in C#
Not be out done, here are the 101 LINQ Samples for C#. The interesting thing for someone like myself who has done both VB.NET (actually from VB DOS to VB.NET 2003) and having done mostly C# recently (last 4 years), is the approach that the Visual Basic and C# Teams took. I prefer the VB.NET way of doing things (I guess I am still biased towards the more Verbose/English-like Syntax of VB.NET over the more terse C# Syntax). Either way, the good news is that you can get the job done in either .NET Language, and I am assuming that you'll also be able to do LINQ in IronPython (PHP for .NET), IronRuby (Ruby on .NET), COBOL.NET, and all of the other .NET Languages.Windows 7: Introducing WinFX, minus .NET?
While perusing the PDC 2008 website’s preliminary agenda, I came across two sessions that really caught my attention.3 Ways to run NUnit from Visual Studio
Like it or not, whoever wants to have a stable code, need to write unit tests. There are 2 main unit testing frameworks for .Net Environment: MBUnit and NUnit. During this post, I am going to focus on NUnit and its integration with Visual Studio in particular.The Weird And Wonderful World Of Extension Methods in C#
Extension methods are the most controversial feature that Microsoft has introduced in C# 3.0. Introduced to support the LINQ query framework, extension methods make it possible to define new methods for existing classes.
Although extension methods can greatly simplify code that uses them, many are concerned that they could transform C# into something that programmers find unrecognizable, or that C#’s namespace mechanisms are inadequate for managing large systems that use extension methods. Adoption of the LINQ framework, however, means that extension methods are here to stay, and that .net programmers need to understand how to use them effectively, and, in particular, how extension methods are different from regular methods.Percorso formativo Silverlight
