aspnet5

Anytime I have the opportunity to sit and run through showing another developer the latest thing I'm into a few things are likely to happen. First, we'll both probably learn something (let's hope). Secondly, it's just great to be able to "play" around with the tech and see where it leads. That's what I was able to do recently with John Papa, check out our Play by Play here. The code and samples are available on github. Here is the description from the video... In this course, Shayne Boyer shows how to build a web app with ASP.NET Core 1.0 from scratch, in real time. Since ASP.NET Core works cross-platform, Shayne develops and runs the app entirely...

One of the many new features of ASP.NET 5, and the "new" Microsoft as some would call it, is the implementation or integration of the open tooling and other package managers in the OSS world. Node, grunt, gulp and Bower are terms not unbeknownst to web developers using other platforms. However, with all of this comes more setup or management of tooling or "what to use when" etc, and some of the feedback from the community within ASP.NET has been around this very topic. Converting Web Application to use npm Here is a quick conversion of the basic web application from using Bower to using npm. delete .bowerrc Since we are not using Bower, there is no need...

There was a ton of cool that came out of the Connect()(http://connect2015.visualstudio.com/) event. For me the announcement of ASP.NET 5 going RC was a great milestone. Go Live License with support Linux, Windows, OS X Installers available - http://get.asp.net Checkout Cleanshave available on GitHub an ASP.NET 5 & Angular 2 template called . There were a bunch of other items announced such as open sourcing Visual Studio Code (http://github.com/microsoft/vscode) and showing off Glimpse. What's Next One of the things shown was the dotnet cli. This is the next iteration of the command line tooling for .NET. Currently we are typing dnx run for console applications or dnx web...

*Updated 11.19.2015 for RC1: http://github.com/spboyer/cleanshave Two of the technology stacks that are at the forefront and making a lot of noise are Angular 2 and ASP.NET 5. Angular 2, for obvious reasons, this is the next rev of Google's SPA framework. And just to highlight a few points, from my perspective, why I'm paying attention. Built with TypeScript Performance gains Browser support (IE 9 even there) Mobile first thought ASP.NET 5, I have been talking, blogging and contributing to this project over the last 18+ months and I'm very excited of what it is already showing. Rebuilt with Cloud in mind Cross Platform - Linux, OS X, Windows Middleware model - much...

Getting a "code to deployment" workflow is a story many organizations want to have nailed down when looking into new technology stacks and architectures such as ASP.NET 5 and the container story like Docker. I hear from business leaders comments like; "...that's great, but how do we deploy this, scale it. What does the development pipeline look like?" Great questions. For my own projects I wanted to be able to "just write code" and have the rest of the process handled. Not have to worry about how does it get built, deployed, scaled etc. Here is a working sample technology stack using all the cool kids on the block and some old players too. Setting It All Up The...
