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:

Audiences, such as marketers in a company, will be able to access AI capabilities as part of their MarTech solutions, without the need of being technical.

Productivity framework for 2024

Recently I was at a Christmas party and I found myself giving advice to a friend on being more productive. I shared the approaches that I take which helped me become more productive at work and in my personal life. The conversation with my friend inspired me to share my approaches in this blog .  Photo by Moose Photos from Pexels   My productivity framework has five key pillars and to remember them I use the mnemonic, POFOR = P lan your tasks, O rganize yourself, F ocus on your tasks, O ptimize yourself with habits and R eflect to ensure you are being productive on the right tasks. Plan Planning is very crucial as it sets the tone for the rest of the pillars. I always found I was more productive when I planned my tasks compared to when I didn’t, and hence planning has become my rule of thumb. I recommend taking 30 minutes at the end of each day to plan your next day. This means prioritizing your tasks and blocking your calendar accordingly. By not doing so, you are at risk o...

AI Agents is the new thing to talk about

Tech is evolving faster than ever in this AI era, that it feels every week there is something new to talk about, and what you learn weeks back is no longer relevant, or “that AI tools” already has gone through changes that you need to catch up with in order to stay relevant.  Fear not, embrace the challenges and learnings, and find applications for it that are good and ethical for this present, and the hereafter.  The new “craze” is AI agents, and for good reason!  Image generated with NightCafe In contrast with AI chatbots, an AI agent can execute tasks on your behalf. If you are thinking “ that this could be agents that we leave running independently for many days for a group of deliveries ”… Well then you are correct! Are there risks? Should we talk about trust and accountability? The answer for both is yes. I already hinted at it a couple of paragraphs above, when I wrote “ good and ethical ”.
