Building Web Apps with ASP.NET Jump Start - Over 6 hours of free ASP.NET video training
Last Friday Microsoft Learning hosted Scott Hansleman, Damian Edwards and me for a full day live video Jump Start event titled Building Web Apps with ASP.NET. We had a nice crowd of about 2,300 attendees joining us during the event - but we were really excited about ending up with a full day of top quality training on ASP.NET 4.5, ASP.NET MVC 4, ASP.NET Web API, SignalR, and Visual Studio - all updated for the ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 release. The Microsoft Learning team has a great studio, event platform, and team, and I think the videos turned out great.

Does ASP.NET Web API + OData filter at the database level? Let's ask IntelliTrace.
Someone asked me via Twitter if ASP.NET Web API queries are filtered at the database level, or if ASP.NET Web API queries the entire result set and then filters in code. Good question. I was pretty sure I knew the answer (below) but since everything in ASP.NET Web API changes so fast and they just released some big OData support updates, I wanted to make sure before answering.

The ASP.NET Daily Community Spotlight - How posts get there, and how to make it your Visual Studio Start Page
One really cool part of my job is selecting the articles for the Daily Community Spotlight, on the home page of the ASP.NET website. The spotlight highlights a new post about ASP.NET development every day from a member of the ASP.NET community. You can find it on the home page of the ASP.NET site, at http://asp.net

Web Platform Installer bundles for Visual Studio 2010 SP1 - and how you can build your own WebPI bundles
Visual Studio SP1 is now available via the Web Platform Installer, which means you've got three options:

Generating EF Code First model classes from an existing database
Entity Framework Code First is a lightweight way to "turn on" data access for a simple CLR class. As the name implies, the intended use is that you're writing the code first and thinking about the database later.

Visual Studio 2010 Zooming – Keyboard Commands, Global Zoom
One of my favorite features in Visual Studio 2010 is zoom. It first caught my attention as a useful tool for screencasts and presentations, but after getting used to it I’m finding that it’s really useful when I’m developing – letting me zoom out to see the big picture, then zoom in to concentrate on a few lines of code.

Adding users to a TFS project when you’re not on the domain
Visual Studio Team System was obviously designed for user groups who are all members of a Windows Active Directory domain, all working in the same local network. I’m able to work remotely (without VPN, even) as long as I’m just checking files in and out, but the Visual Studio / TFS UI won’t let me grant users permission to contribute to my projects. I messed around with TFS Power Tools, but that didn’t work either.

Upgrading to Visual Studio 2008 / .NET 3.5 SP1
I was prompted for the original installation media both when uninstalling the SP1 Beta and when installing the SP1 RTM. The file it’s looking for is vs_setup.msi in most cases, but they’re not all created equal. If you installed from a Visual Studio 2008 Professional DVD or image, you can’t just insert a Visual Studio 2008 Standard DVD. In my case, I installed of in ISO image, so I mounted the iso file (en_visual_studio_team_system_2008_team_suite_x86_x64wow_dvd_X14-26461.iso) as my F:\ drive and browsed to vs_setup.msi.
