I’m usually not one to resort to puns in my blog titles, but I couldn’t resist. Git it? Git it? Sorry. Ever since we introduced PowerShell into NuGet, I’ve become a big fan. I think it’s great, yet I’ve heard from so many other developers that they have no time to try it out. That it’s “on their list” and they really want to learn it, but they just don’t have the time. But here’s the dirty little

.hubot stache me Well the poll results are in and you all were very close! I was taken aback at the intensity of the interest in where I would end up. Seriously, I’m honored. But then I thought about it for a moment and figured, there must be a betting pool on this. These folks don’t care that much. Today is my first day as a GitHub employee! In other words, I am now a GitHubber, a Hubbernaut, a G

David Fowler turned me on to a really cool feature of Razor I hadn’t realized made it into 1.0, Templated Razor Delegates. What’s that? I’ll let the code do the speaking. @{ Func<dynamic, object> b = @<strong>@item</strong>; } <span>This sentence is @b("In Bold").</span> That could come in handy if you have friends who’ll jump on your case for using the bold tag instead of the strong tag because i

One surefire way to sound really really smart is to invoke a law or principle named after some long dead guy (an alive guy is acceptable too, but lacks slightly in smart points). This realization struck me the other day while I was reading a blog post that made a reference to Postel’s law. Immediately I knew the author of this post must be a highly intelligent card carrying member of MENSA. He was

I gave a presentation to another team at Microsoft yesterday on ASP.NET MVC and the Razor view engine and someone asked if there was a reference for the Razor syntax. It turns out, there is a pretty good guide about Razor available, but it’s focused on covering the basics of web programming using Razor and inline pages and not just the Razor syntax. So I thought it might be handy to write up a rea

ASP.NET 4 introduces a few new extensibility APIs that live the hermit lifestyle away from the public eye. They’re not exactly hidden - they are well documented on MSDN - but they aren’t well publicized. It’s about time we shine a spotlight on them. PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute This new attribute allows you to have code run way early in the ASP.NET pipeline as an application starts up. I mea

UPDATE: I’ve updated this post to cover changes to client validation made in ASP.NET MVC 2 RC 2. This is the third post in my series ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta and its new features. ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta Released (Release Announcement) Html.RenderAction and Html.Action ASP.NET MVC 2 Custom Validation In this post I will cover validation. No, not that kind of validation, though I do think you’re good enough,

I was thinking about alternative ways to block comment spam the other day and it occurred to me that there’s potentially a simpler solution than the Invisible Captcha approach I wrote about. The Invisible Captcha control plays upon the fact that most comment spam bots don’t evaluate javascript. However there’s another particular behavioral trait that bots have that can be exploited due to the bots

A while back I wrote about a subtle JSON vulnerability which could result in the disclosure of sensitive information. That particular exploit involved overriding the JavaScript Array constructor to disclose the payload of a JSON array, something which most browsers do not support now. However, there’s another related exploit that seems to affect many more browsers. It was brought to my attention r

Tim Davis posted an updated version of this solution on his blog. His includes the following: jqGrid 3.8.2 .NET 4.0 Updates VS2010 jQuery 1.4.4 jQuery UI 1.8.7 Continuing in my pseudo-series of posts based on my ASP.NET MVC Ninjas on Fire Black Belt Tips Presentation at Mix (go watch it!), this post covers a demo I did not show because I ran out of time. It was a demo I held in my back pocket just

There are a couple of peculiarities worth understanding when dealing with title tags and master pages within Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC. These assume you are using the HtmlHead control, aka <head runat="server" />. The first peculiarity involves a common approach where one puts a ContentPlaceHolder inside of a title tag like we do with the default template in ASP.NET MVC: <%@ Master ... %> <html> <

UPDATE: Looks like Ian Cooper had posted pretty much the same code in the comments to Scott’s blog post. I hadn’t noticed it. He didn’t have a chance to compile it, so consider this post a validation of your example Ian! :) Scott Hanselman recently wrote a post about how Ruby has tits or is the tits or something like that. I agree with much of it. Ruby is in many respects a nice language to use if
