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:

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.

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...

Designing Habit Forming Mobile Application

Anonymous
Mobile Applications have become an integral part of our daily lives - we use mobile apps as alarm clocks to wake us up in the morning, to create to do lists when we start our day, to communicate with our colleagues at work via apps like Skype. We even check reviews of restaurants to visit on apps like Yelp and we seek entertainment on apps like Netflix and spotify. So what drives us to use these apps so seamlessly in our daily lives? Why we prefer some apps over others? Is there a science behind designing successful mobile apps like Facebook?  Photo by Peter C from Pexels A study in US revealed that a user between the age of 18 and 44 visits the Facebook app on average 14 times a day [1]. This shows that using the Facebook app is a daily routine for many of its users. This makes Facebook a great example of a habit forming mobile app which is designed with human psychology in mind that encourages habit forming behavior in its users .   I recently attended a seminar ...

Building MCP with TypeScript

MCP servers are popular these days. We’ve been researching and exploring a few code repos, some where missing modularity, others just not having pieces that we were looking for… therefore we decided to build our own, simple and foundational that could be a starting point for those trying to solve for the similar things we were… and we decided to share it with the community, via our public github. MCP host, server,data sources     Before we start.  Using Typescript and NodeJS was one of our requirements. This proved somewhat challenging because I don't code as frequently these days due to my leadership responsibilities, and I typically prefer working with C# or Python. Colleagues in my tech community have been working with their teams on some of their MCPs going the Python route. Therefore, I said, “I guess we are trying the other route” 😊. One of our reasons to go with TypeScript was due to the need of the integration with APIs, and based on the research, it seems t...
