This is a continuation of my Introduction to ASP.NET MVC series. As I outlined before this is in an effort to write the book and keep blogging, I decided to write/blog the last chapter, Chapter 2. I am doing this so I can receive feedback on this chapter as early as possible. Because this chapter, in my opinion, is probably the most critical of the book, it defines the context around ASP.NET MVC and how it differs from ASP.NET Web Forms, as well as giving a historical perspective of the MVC pattern. In the next several posts we will cover the following parts of Chapter 2 from the book: * The Model-View-Controller Pattern * ASP.NET MVC vs. ASP.NET Web Forms * The Model * The View * The Controller - Nick Berardi

A couple days ago I came across a breaking change in ASP.NET MVC PR4 that wasn’t reported. The breaking change is that defaults from routes are no longer used as defaults for parameters in the action method, if no appropriate parameter is found in the request. So I decided to take this obvious disapointment and turn it in to something I have been thinking about for a long time, but never really had the motivation to impliment. In .NET you are allowed to add attributes to anything that can be defined via reflection, including classes, interfaces, structures, and even return types and parameters of methods. - Nick Berardi

I never really thought of the browser as an MVC, but it makes sense. I guess everything makes sense when Jeff explains it. :) - Nick Berardi

So if you are to take anything away from this rant, take this, do what you love, and become the best at it. And if what you love isn’t your 9-5 job, deeply understand this and get out of the way of people who’s 9-5 job is what they love. - Nick Berardi

To facilitate my prediction, of most of you using OpenID by the end of the year, I am going to give you 2 easy steps to turn your blog, or any website, in to a OpenID gateway. That will work for OpenID 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 versions of the protocol. - Nick Berardi

"You ever have one of those days where somebody else screwed things up for you and it just snowballs from there. Well that was my day yesterday. I was have a very productive day, until I decided to get a Quicktime update from Apple. Then from there everything just went down hill." - Nick Berardi

Utopia is an imaginary destination without poverty, sin or suffering. That was our goal when we conjured up AnythingForSaleByOwner. We dreamt of a place that buyers and sellers from around the world could connect. A place where someone can offer a product for a nominal fee and someone in want or need of that product could contact the seller. Simple. Easy to navigate. Free from scaled cost to operate. A true shoppers' utopia. We're not naïve. We know that there is no such utopian island that is free of all life's horrors, but that didn't prevent us from following our dream of a shopper's virtual utopia. A place where consumers can search for dream items at bargain prices, or sellers weren't bound by location alone while suffering from pillaged profits. While creating our site, we examined what works on other sites and why it works. And what doesn't work. What we discovered was a bit alarming - who's really benefiting from these transactions? Sure, billions of dollars are being... - Nick Berardi

At Vovéo we are bringing to life a vision for a new breed of marketing. One that begins with a belief that all marketing must work toward a single goal - results. Vovéo's marketing services drive results because they are highly adaptable, in step with the front lines, customer-centric, extremely focused, and tightly integrated. It is our integrated approach to marketing that stands in stark contrast to the traditional "stovepipe" mentality still prevalent in many organizations, where narrowly conceived departmental lines prevent the effective integration of all marketing disciplines. - Nick Berardi

Every developer has their favorite tool collection that they must have in order to survive while developing software. The list below is indispensable in my day-to-day activities and that is why I am sharing it with my readers. My list was inspired by Scott Hanselman's own list of tools that he uses. However I would be really interested to see what Scott's actual list is since it would be almost impossible to touch each and every tool once a week as he claims. Because many of them serve the same purpose. - Nick Berardi

"Shocker blaming Clinton for taking money, when he took almost 20 times as much. I don't support either of these candidates. But I guess what they say is true. If one Democrat comes out with outrageous aligations they are probably doing the same themselves and just trying to deflect future criticism." - Nick Berardi

"What is CNN then?" - Nick Berardi

"McCain is nothing close to a Republican either. He is just a pandering politician that would sell his mother to get a couple more votes." - Nick Berardi

"Or maybe if you weren't a total socialist you may realize that Fox news is just representing the lineup that the republicans want to hear about. Giulliani, Thompson, Romney. Nothing new there. Take a look at the line up for CNN. Then go in to the network TV and see the huge bias towards Democrats or Republicans that act like Democrats. Everything else gets by your radar because of the "I hate Fox News"-blinders are on. I don't know if you think it is cool, or you do say these things because that is what all your high school buddies are doing, or maybe you are a little more grown up and you let your college professor fill your head with dog shit. Either way grow up, step back, and take a look at the big picture and realize you are getting led around by the nose. Form your own opinions it is not cool or unique to repeat everything you hear on Digg." - Nick Berardi

"I thought this was one of the things the Democratic congress was going to get rid of? Big surprise, they are no different than the Republicans, except they are better at pandering to whom ever can cast a vote." - Nick Berardi
