After many reports and rumours that the Mono teams had been axed it is good to hear it is not all bad news!

Miguel de Icaza wrote a post on his blog yesterday that confirmed the rumours and gives hope to those that have invested heavily in Mono.

HTML5 has been a hot topic for a while. But as browser support develops and improves people are jumping and the band wagon and creating HTML5 sites just as they did back in the day of macromedia flash.

 

Interested to see what all the fuss is about I went on the search for info. Here is some of the stuff I found:

HTML5 and CSS3 for IE9 - http://ubelly.com/html5/

HTML5 Tutorials - http://html5tutorial.net/

Great HTML5 resource - http://www.html5rocks.com/

A handy cheat sheet - http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/07/06/html-5-cheat-sheet-pdf/

 

I’m sure people will find many more via google. If you do please leave the url in a comment and I will add it to the list.

I have a few things to post but will start with this link to a selection of asp.net mvc video tutorials…

Microsoft and Pluralsight have teamed up on several occasions and have done so again to bring you some great asp.net mvc tutorials for free. In my opinion these are possibly the best free video tutorials available for asp.net mvc.

Here’s a quote from the almighty Scott Guthrie

This MVC 3 course recorded by K. Scott Allen for Pluralsight provides a fantastic way to quickly get up to speed on the latest release of ASP.NET MVC. Scott’s presentation style is easy to follow and technically compelling, and the course format, video player, and overall cadence are really great. Plus – it’s free, so there’s no excuse not to learn MVC 3 today!

If you are learning asp.net mvc then these tutorials are a must!

Check it out for yourself… http://www.datatables.net

Once I get chance to use it myself I will post my experiences.

Here’s what it looks like:

It occurred to me the other day that I use quite a lot of different tools at work. Some of the tools I only use on rare occasions but I have never made a list of them and often forget about them.

So I though I would put a list up here that I will keep up to date and others my find useful.

Main Tools

Other Tools

Thats a start to the list. I’ll try and add a little description for each too

“Intype is a powerful and intuitive code editor for Windows with lightning fast response. It is easily extensible and customizable, thanks in part to its support for scripting and native plug-ins. It makes development in any programming or scripting language quick and easy.”


Still in it’s very early stages but looks sexy! Once I have used it a little I’ll post an update. Check it out here http://intype.info
