6 - When Things Go Wrong: The Silent Fail

2013-05-20 19:27:17 UTC

5 - Massive, Part 1

2013-05-15 02:26:42 UTC

In this episode the tables are turned: Ayende reviews Rob's Micro-ORM project named "Massive". It's only 600 lines of code, but there's plenty for Ayende to gasp about here...

8 - Development, Testing, Building

2013-05-03 17:57:54 UTC

In this episode we take a look at the tools you can use to help you develop, test, and build an Angular application. We start off with a look at WebStorm (from JetBrains) and then SublimeText2, finally moving on to Visual Studio. After that we take a look at the various ways you can test your Angular app, and finally the build tools that exist. Along the way we goof around with Angular Seed and Yeoman.

6 - ScriptCS

2013-04-29 18:32:51 UTC

ScriptCS allows you to use C# as if it were a scripting language using Roslyn, .NET's "compiler as a service". In this episode Scott shows the flexibility of using ScriptCS together with Chocolatey - an Open Source package installer that works with NuGet.

7 - String Format Stumper

2013-04-22 19:47:11 UTC

This time we flip the tables and review a question that Jon himself asked. Once again, it's on strings and the weirdness of using String.Format in C#, UTF-8, and i18n.

7 - Iteration One: Complete

2013-04-17 21:04:39 UTC

In this episode we drop in the Ace Code Editor and finish up the first functional iteration of our application. Along the way we solve some problems with Filters and discuss URLs (once again)

6 - Refactor: Part 1

2013-04-11 04:13:46 UTC

In this episode we take a step back and refactor what we've done. Along the way Rob addresses a bit of a security issue: pushing the naked $routeParams into the $save routine directly! We also take a look at the different ways to configure services in Angular, and finally clean up and namespace the code.

5 - Using Trace Flags with SQL Server

2013-04-09 21:06:16 UTC

Ever need to troubleshoot a deadlock or some other problem with SQL Server? Trace flags are a great way to "debug" SQL Server - and Rob Sullivan shows us how!

3 - Code Highlighting with Rouge

2013-04-02 18:54:50 UTC

Rob and Peter take a look at the Ruby code-highlighting utility called "Rouge". The standard has been Pygments - but it has a Python dependency. If you want an all-Ruby solution you should see Rouge.

5 - Testing

2013-03-29 17:37:55 UTC

In this final episode Jon walks through the various challenges you'll have testing asynchronous code. First we use MSTest and then move on to NUnit; along the way Jon builds a Time Machine...

5 - Directives, Part 2

2013-03-26 22:03:15 UTC

In this episode we tackle "The Breadcrumb Problem" - something that was a bit difficult to deal with in our Backbone production. Once again, we'll lean on directives but this time, we'll use some advanced features to help us keep things encapsulated and reusable.

4 - Routing

2013-03-22 23:03:11 UTC

In this episode we introduce Routing, which gives your application the ability to respond to URLs. Along the way we refactor our List Controller to be a bit more flexible and reusable.

3 - Directives

2013-03-20 03:01:17 UTC

Directives in Angular are little chunks of UI code that can be simple (such as a formatted header) or complex (a tabbed pane). Creating them in Angular is fairly simple - in this episode we create a set of reusable buttons for adding and removing items from a list.

2 - Services

2013-03-16 06:12:09 UTC

In this episode we go beyond the demo and break apart our simple application into basic structures. The first step is to create an Angular application (also known as a module), then push logic out of our Controller and into a service. We then push to using Angular's $resource provider to do some heavy data-lifting for us.

1 - Hello Angular

2013-03-15 18:01:52 UTC

In this, our first episode, we take AngularJS for a spin to see what it can do. Rob focuses on key concepts behind Angular and then jumps right into coding.

6 - String Injection Attack!

2013-03-13 20:04:26 UTC

A test assertion blows up and weird results start coming back - and the stack trace is meaningless! Could it be a bug in .NET! Possibly - see how Jon sleuths this strange string formatting error with Visual Studio test assertions...

5 - A Look at F-Sharp

2013-03-07 22:02:34 UTC

In this episode Rob and Scott take a look at WebSharper, an F# transpiler for Javascript. Along the way they muse on whether every language should have a web framework.

2013-03-04 19:56:03 UTC

5 - RethinkDB

2013-02-27 22:40:46 UTC

RethinkDB is gaining many fans in the document database world due to it's ease of use, management (with tasks such as sharding and replication), and it's incredibly flexible querying capacity. Come see why many refer to RethinkDB as "MongoDB done right"

2013-02-21 18:40:42 UTC

Ryan and Rob dive into the knockout-cart code and refactor some of the "not-so-idiomatic" Knockout Code.
