Resources for ASP.NET MVC and IronRuby

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

I put off studying ASP.NET MVC during pre-release, and now that it's out, it's really really time to catch up.

There are a bunch of nice tutorials out there, and I'd like to compile them here:

I'm also checking out IronRuby, especially with respect to integration with ASP.NET MVC:

I will try to conjure a talk out of these in a little over a month's time, wish me luck. :)

Some thoughts on Ruby envy and Bubble 2.0

Friday, October 12th, 2007

From my favorite J's in the community.

This one from Jeremy Miller:

Thoughts of ditching the warm, comfortable womb of .Net for life out on the Ruby edge are coming with much less frequency.  There's some good stuff right where we're at!  Heck, we might even get a performant version of Ruby on the CLR in the nearish future.  C# 3.0 isn't Ruby in terms of expressiveness, but it's not chopped liver either.  We're still behind the curve a little bit in terms of community activity and passion, but it's getting there.  I'm happier to be in the .Net world right now than I've been in a long time.  I don't have to jump to Ruby to get the community I want to be in.  We can just make it right here. [Jeremy Miller]

And this one, from Jeff Atwood's Twitter.

life is too short to stay at a job where you're not doing the things you want to do. Bubble 2.0 people. Exploit for your own ends. [Jeff Atwood]

It's a great time to be a dev, people!

A little Ruby envy

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Last week cruizer posted two entries that sparked my interest at looking into Ruby.

As a matter of coincidence, Object Mentor published an article that talks about implementing the visitor design pattern on Ruby, and why its implementation there makes for a better OO design than in Java.

I have to admit that cruizer's enthusiasm rubbed off on me. I'm now very eager to see what the recently-announced IronRuby can offer.
