ASPNet MVC4 with Javascript Framework Libraries for SPA

[PLACEHOLDER]
Image

As I walk my way through MVC.net projects and land on MVVM I become more curious about it by the minute. Working with an AngularJS project it made me want to learn and use more this technology every time it suits.

So far you can see a lot of CMSs using MVC pattern. To mention a few using MVC.Net:
  • Sitecore 7 (powerful CMS, started as ASP.net WebForms, and now is incorporating a MVC option to their solutions.)
  • Umbraco 4.10 (Open Source with a strong community behind it. Also if you need Tech Support service as a service take a look at the product page)
  • Orchard (Open Source.)
  • Pirahna (Open Source.)
  • N2 (Open Source.)

And I’m not mentioning here CMSs outside the Microsoft world.

But, putting Silverlight aside I started to look into more about MVVM and scenarios were it fits like SPA (Single Page Apps). I ended up finding JS Frameworks that I wanted to put my hands on, bunch of tools that now you can get them integrated to MVC.Net projects as templates that you can find in Visual Studio. Here is the list:
-    Breeze
-    Knockout 
-    I wanted to keep learning more about AngularJS
-    Durandal

You can find my research (so far) in the sections below. I hope you find it beneficial. As I continue with my demo/prototype with the different templates I hope I can get the time to keep sharing my findings with you:

Rethinking Canadian Economic Sovereignty Amid Foreign Acquisitions

About a year ago, I attended the Elevate Festival in Toronto, which I recommend if you haven't had the chance to experience it. The event was very inspiring because of its focus on business, technology, and entrepreneurship. It was interesting to see people at various stages of their careers; some executives, others developing their startups, a few in between, and some simply there to gain insights and knowledge. There was a unique atmosphere, influenced by the current political situation between Canada and the US. Many discussions centred around data sovereignty, cloud infrastructure independence, and ensuring that Canadians' data remained safe and secure within the country's borders or trusted allies. Building trust requires considerable effort, yet it can be shattered very quickly… and once broken, repairing it becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible. Considering the current geopolitical landscape, it is unclear where we go from here... but it seems the rules hav...

Steer for a talent transformation strategy (and avoiding AI fatigue)

 There was a debate on whether to feature the term “AI” in the title of this article. Honestly, a key motivation for pursuing the research that led to this post was sparked by the widespread excitement about AI appearing constantly in our LinkedIn feed, to the point of feeling the fatigue, and even a bit disappointed in the algorithm of this, and the others, social media and content curated apps.  We soon discovered that there is an entire concept called "AI fatigue", not exactly how we were feeling it, but more about the mixed emotions people in the workforce have regarding the use of AI tools. Photo by Mart Production via Pexels (background updated with AI and Adobe  tech) From micro blog posts to video podcasts, lately, most of the tech content we encounter revolves around AI. They often sound or read very similar, usually mentioning the same few top providers. The articles (and social posts... at least the popular ones with paid-campaigns behind it) tend to focus less...

Digital Sovereignty in a Polarised World - Data, Cloud Power, and the Search for Trusted Alternatives

 Relationships have deteriorated, with trust diminished to an extent that may preclude restoration. The world, once structured to favour certain regions, has undergone significant shifts; for numerous countries, such advantages never existed. In this polarised reality, stakeholders are re-evaluating alliances, as former partners now often embody the role of "frenemy," thereby threatening freedom. This phenomenon is longstanding, rooted in historical power dynamics. When politics and influence supersede principles of fairness, respect, and integrity, ethical boundaries become blurred. Previously, issues that did not directly affect you would get overlooked out of principle, but current risks necessitate action to safeguard sovereignty. Information has consistently served as a key strategic asset, a trend only intensified by technological advancements that have elevated data as the principal factor. In other words, technology has amplified that, and data is the name of the game...
