Finbar Ryan's Blog

Hello,

Hello, as I mentioned a while ago I was trying to use Friday to put the links that I found most useful during the preceding week.

I’ve since discovered that this might be considered a type of content curation which is a new phrase to me but one that is interesting.

I think it’s really useful for people to share links they find useful and it helps the rest of us to limit the hosepipe feed from the Internet to something more manageable.

I recently worked with a customer who was migrating their site from Asp.Net Web Forms to Asp.Net MVC 3.

As they say on Star Wars day “May the 4th be with you” .

Here are the interesting links I have read this week with some comments

Here’s two of my favourite parts of the article.

Last week I was on an Asp.Net MVC and HTML 5 training course.

I’ve come across this in a number of posts from my colleagues in  DPE.
