New Features in ASP.NET 4.5 Web Forms Course Released on Pluralsight.com
I've been hard at work the past few months filming a new course for Pluralsight covering some of the great new features in ASP.NET 4.5 Web Forms. I'm excited to announce that the new course is titled New Features in ASP.NET 4.5 Web Forms and is now available on Pluralsight.com! If you're an ASP.NET Web Forms developer (and there are many of you out there!) then you should definitely take a look at the new features available in the 4.5 release if you haven't already. In my opinion, this is the most significant release since ASP.NET 2.0. I say that because some of the new features will truly change how you write your ASP.NET applications - especially the data binding features.

Mobile Friendly Websites with CSS Media Queries
In a previous post the concept of CSS media queries was introduced and I discussed the fundamentals of how they can be used to target different screen sizes. I showed how they could be used to convert a 3-column wide page into a more vertical view of data that displays better on devices such as an iPhone:

Detecting HTML5/CSS3 Features using Modernizr
HTML5, CSS3, and related technologies such as canvas and web sockets bring a lot of useful new features to the table that can take Web applications to the next level. These new technologies allow applications to be built using only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript allowing them to be viewed on a variety of form factors including tablets and phones. Although HTML5 features offer a lot of promise, it’s not realistic to develop applications using the latest technologies without worrying about supporting older browsers in the process. If history has taught us anything it’s that old browsers stick around for years and years which means developers have to deal with backward compatibility issues. This is especially true when deploying applications to the Internet that target the general public. This begs the question, “How do you move forward with HTML5 and CSS3 technologies while gracefully handling unsupported features in older browsers?” -
Getting Started with CSS Media Queries
If you've ever printed a page and noticed that it looks different than the actual page displayed in the browser you've more than likely witnessed a CSS media type in action. By using CSS media types such as "print", backgrounds, navigation bars, and other items can be hidden as a user prints which makes the printed page look much more readable. An example of changing styles through a CSS media type as a page is printed is shown next. This type of code can be placed directly in a <style> element in a given page or in an external style sheet.

A Few of My Favorite HTML5 and CSS3 Online Tools
I really enjoy coding up HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript applications but there are some things that I’m better off writing with the help of a development tool. For example, CSS3 gradients aren’t exactly the most fun thing to write by hand and the same could be said for animations, transforms, or styles that require various vendor extensions. There are a lot of online tools that can simplify building HTML5/CSS3 sites and increase productivity in the process so I thought I’d put together a post on a few of my favorites tools.

Video: HTML5 and JavaScript Tips
I had the opportunity to present at the HTML5 Web Camp event in Phoenix, Arizona last month with Michael Palermo (one of my favorite speakers) and the recording of the event is now available online. Thanks to Scott Cate and the EventDay staff for taking time to record, index, and publish the event – they did an awesome job.
