New Episodes

Mastering NHibernate: #8 Search - In this episode we try 3 types of search: Bad with Contains(), using FullText Indexing with Microsoft Full Text, and Lucene. Note: there is a LOT more to be said about Lucene but in this episode we focus on getting it working with NHibernate.
Mastering ASP.NET MVC 2.0: #8 Views: Partials and Templates - In this episode i continue working with Partials and also show you an old/new friend: RenderAction, which injects the HTML from a separate Action into a given View. I then transition to a new feature of ASP.NET MVC 2: Templates and show you how they work with ModelMetaData and DataAnnotations.
Mastering Linq: #3 Exploring Select, Tuples, and Anonymous Types - In this episode Justin digs into the Select function and shows various ways to control what is returned including using custom classes, tuples, and anonymous types.
Mastering jQuery: #4 jQuery and Ajax Pt. 2 - In this episode Dave and James dig deeper into working with Ajax and jQuery. They cover making direct calls using the post function as well as using JSON. This episode uses ASP.NET MVC for the server-side code.
Mastering ASP.NET MVC 2.0: #7 Views: HtmlHelpers - In this episode I show you how to work with the HTML Helpers - and why you would want to. Specifically I show you how to get around the loss of "Stateful Postback" that you had with WebForms and also how to work a DropDownList properly. In addition I show you what's new with MVC 2.0
Mastering ASP.NET MVC 2.0: #6 Views: ViewEngines - In this episode I show you how to override the default ViewEngine and then throw it away altogether, rolling your own. I also do an overview of Spark, rolling my little demo app over to the popular ViewEngine.
