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:

Democratizing AI

Democratizing AI is all about empowering others to use it, by making it available to them. 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. It could also be schools, where the younger generations are learning how to use it in responsible, secure, innovative, and creative ways. This is the year where companies, after discovery phases and teams experimenting, are looking to activate and take advantage of the AI advances. Generated with Microsoft Designer   And so, questions emerge, such as “What to democratize when leveraging AI?” There are common scenarios, as well as specific ones, that will depend on the company, and the industry they belong to. A common scenario, seen in many industries, when democratizing data is the data visualization and reporting . In digital marketing, as an example, data scientists and data analysts can automate reporting, making them available to the c...

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...

Small Language Models

 Open source models will continue to grow in popularity. Small Language Models (SLMs) are smaller, faster to train with less compute.  They can be used for tackling specific cases while being at a lower cost.  Photo by Tobias Bjørkli via Pexels  SLMs can be more efficient SLMs are faster in inference speed, and they also require less memory and storage.    SLMs and cost Small Language models can run on less powerful machines, making them more affordable. This could be ideal for experimentation, startups and/or small size companies. Here is a short list Tiny Llama. The 1.1B parameters AI Model, trained on 3T Tokens. Microsoft’s Phi-2. The 2.7B parameters, trained on 1.4T tokens. Gemini Nano.  The 6B parameters. Deepseek Coder

Take a break on zero emission day 2024

 Do you know how much you contribute to the daily emissions in your city? How much does the city you live in contribute within your country? How much does your country contribute to the emissions on our planet? Do you know its impact? Do you know why we have a zero emission day? Photo by Pixabay via Pexels Let us start by getting our acronyms right, shall we? You may have heard the term GHG emissions, wondering what that means. GHG stands for Green House Gas. These gases are part of the cause of the rising temperature on Earth. What is interesting about them  is that they absorb infrared radiation resulting in the greenhouse effect. Within the greenhouse gases you find carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, water vapour. The vast majority of carbon dioxide emissions by humans come from the burning of fossil fuels. Key sectors to consider for GHG Fuel Exploitation Power Industry Transport Waste Agriculture Buildings Industry combustion and processes Top GHG emissions...
