Two New FlipBoard Magazines for AngularJS and JavaScript/HTML5
I’ve been a fan of FlipBoard for quite some time since it provides a quick and easy way to access different posts, articles, pictures and more from a magazine-style layout. If you haven’t used it before it’s definitely a fun application that’s quite unique. It runs as an app on iOS and Android and will soon be available on Windows Phone 8. You can also view magazines with any Web browser as well. For example, here’s a magazine running in the browser that has some amazing landscape-related photos (click to view it):

Building an HTML5 Web Sockets Server with Node.js
In a previous post I discussed how an HTML5 Web Sockets server could be created using ASP.NET 4.5. In this post I’m going to walk through the process of getting a socket server up and running using Node.js.

Building an HTML5 Web Sockets Server with ASP.NET 4.5
ASP.NET 4.5 now includes support for HTML5 Web Sockets which can provide a great way to add real-time communication to a Web app where a server can actually push data live to one or more clients. In this video from the New Features in ASP.NET 4.5 Pluralsight course I walk through getting started with creating a Web Sockets server using a Nuget package from Microsoft called Microsoft.WebSockets. -

Slides and Code from my AngleBrackets/DevIntersection Talks: AngularJS, ASP.NET MVC, jQuery and JavaScript
The AngleBrackets and DevIntersection conference is all wrapped up for me and I had a great time as always meeting new people and talking about technologies that I really love to work with. Thanks to everyone that took the time to come to my talks - I definitely had a lot of fun giving them and chatting with people after each session.

Using AngularJS: My Interview with Joe Eames and Jim Cooper
I'm really excited about the AngularJS JavaScript framework given all of the great features it offers out of the box for building Single Page Applications (SPAs) and really any application that has a lot of client-side functionality. I just returned from the DevIntersection and AngleBrackets conference in Las Vegas and there was a lot of buzz about the framework at my different AngularJS and JavaScript talks.

Getting Started Managing Client-Side Data with the Breeze JavaScript Library
If you work with JavaScript a lot then you know that there’s no shortage of script libraries being released. New scripts come out on a daily basis providing UI functionality, data binding support, form validation, framework functionality and more. With all of the scripts in circulation it feels like nearly every aspect of client-side development has been covered. However, there’s one area that has seen precious few scripts – the area of client-side data management.

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.

TypeScript Fundamentals Course Released on Pluralsight.com
Over the past few months I’ve have been digging into TypeScript and learning the ins and outs of the language. If you’re new to TypeScript, it’s a language that provides a way to write modular code that includes support for types (string, number, bool, etc.) and compiles down to JavaScript. It’s definitely interesting especially if you’d like to catch issues upfront rather than after the fact. For more information on TypeScript check out my Getting Started with TypeScript – Classes, Static Types and Interfaces post. -
What's Hot in the World of JavaScript and SPAs?
Client-side development continues to be more and more popular which is both good and bad for developers. It's good (great!) because we have more power than ever at our fingertips. It's bad because it can be challenging to stay up-to-speed with all of the libraries and frameworks being released (I call that job security). I hear some developers complaining about Web development and all of the script libraries being released but I personally think it provides us with a lot of choice and flexibility, not to mention enhanced productivity. I’d rather have the flexibility of choosing from a variety of scripts as opposed to only a handful.
