The now-aging TCP/IP protocol might not be around for much longer. That’s if a bunch of researchers promoting network coding have their way. Wake me up when it's gone. I want to see what the 22nd century looks like.

I've been told (by someone here, was it you?) that 50-90% of Internet traffic is spam. Do we really need new patented complicated mathematical equations to speed up the net?
And of course, the whole idea of patenting a core backbone technology for transporting data around the Internet...wow, do I smell a cash cow. However, if pigs had wings...
so sadly, I do not see a direct as the crow flies path to a faster Internet, but it's a whale of an idea.
Why are all our metaphors ones involving animals and meat? Hmmm...I think my attention span is as short as a carrot stump today.

Web Forms is not dead, and nearly everything you can do in MVC, you can also do in Web Forms. Maybe not, but the vultures are circling
|
|
|
|
|
I was kinda hoping MVC would go away but it hasn't so I've been learning it lately...'course now that I'm investing some time in it, it will probably get blown away by something else.

Did a nice little project in MVC. Can't see what all the fuss is about.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I don't know why I dragged my feet, it's not that bad. I'm doing a little project with MVC5 but no Entity Framework...using MySQL for the database and doing the data access by hand...just to be contrary, and because I'm more familiar with MySQL.
|
|
|
|
|
I did use EF with MySQL: didn't work that well as a bit messy and unable to use stored procs... unless somebody know any different?
|
|
|
|
|
You might be better off posting the question on the database or ASP.Net forum?
I haven't had any luck with ORM's myself...it seems like the amount of effort you put into learning the thing, you could have done it by hand more elegantly.

|

Thanks but project done and dusted. Worked fine: I just prefer stored procs.

Personally, I find MVC easier and cleaner than WebForms.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Doesn't really address my biggest issue with webforms: the opacity of the view state / page life cycle / postback interactions.
MVC has a single opaque area: model binding. And you can completely opt out of that if you don't want to participate in that nonsense.
Try opting out of viewstate and see how many of your webforms pages still work. He even mentions this in his article: Quote: I recommend disabling ViewState in the Web.Config and then just turn it on when you get to a page that just does [not] seem to work right.
So his answer is to guess when you need viewstate? Sorry, but I prefer to anticipate problems before they happen.

Nadella took the stage to motivate the troops to build something awesome. He is quoted as saying "This is the time to stop the criticism and do something about it" when referring to the fact that far too often employees will complain internally about how certain features are built or overlooked when shipping a new product. "I am rubber, you are glue. Bounces off me and sticks to you."

He's got there attention now; "Quit complaining or you could be one of the 18K", while he cracks the whip.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

If MS wants to adopt and foster an environment of innovation, why don't they offer a 20% project time in a similar fashion to Google? A 36 hour hackathon really doesn't cut it.
|
|
|
|

From what I've read elsewhere on the web, as Google's grown up and went from having 3 products to 300 and back to 30; 20% time's died because they've got a full suite of products now and are more interested in cutting the deadwood out of their portfolio. In the other direction were MS bloggers claiming to get similar amounts of total time to work on blue sky projects except that it was mostly concentrated in big lumps after shipping products and early in the dev cycle for the next version.

Under sunny summer skies in Redmond on Tuesday morning, the new Microsoft CEO cranked a siren to start a 38.5-hour hackathon — bringing together more than 10,000 employees from across the company to work on a wide variety of projects. Don't expect your bug report to get much attention this week
