Unit Testing ASP.NET? ASP.NET unit testing has never been this easy. Typemock is launching a new product for ASP.NET developers – the ASP.NET Bundle - and for the launch will be giving out FREE licenses to bloggers and their readers. The ASP.NET Bundle is the ultimate ASP.NET unit testing solution, and offers both Typemock Isolator, a unit test tool and Ivonna, the Isolator add-on for ASP.NET unit testing, for a bargain price. Typemock Isolator is a leading .NET unit testing tool (C# and VB.NET) for many ‘hard to test’ technologies such as SharePoint, ASP.NET,...

Of course one of the first things that I did when moving to Florida was to check out the local golf courses. Boca Raton has two town golf courses and the Glades facility has a driving range.

I am so happy that on my first visit I ran into Rusty Bacigalupi. Rusty is a golf professional working at the Boca Municipal course. I decided to sign up for some lessons with Rusty instead of just beating balls at the range. Rusty has a great style and makes learning the game of golf a lot of fun. I am confident that I will finally make my goal of breaking 80!!! Thanks Rusty!!!

Rusty puts on some junior golf programs and registration is now open for 4 different sessions being held in June and July.

The full details are available in this flyer. Y9ou can also check out BaciGolf's Web page.

Well, it must be official. My transition to Florida is nearly complete.

I have attended code camps in Miami and Orlando. It was great to see Florida based speakers that I did not see back in the North East.

What a treat to see the likes of David Hayden, and  DNN experts such as Ryan Lansing, and Will Strohl.

Last week was a DNN users group close to home in Boca Raton, check out the meetup page.

I am loving Florida!!!!! Hope to see you at the next user group event. Let's do some DNN, MVC, TDD, or some JQuery.

Thanks to everyone that attended this morning's session at OpenForce 2008. We had a decent showing for the 08:00 am session.

I have posted the slides and sample project with the simple GolfScore MVP project with tests, as well as the project from the testdriven DNN projects built with the project templates on CodePlex

It is very exciting to have DotNetNuke V5 RC2 released for public download. We can all dig into the DNN container and Interfaces and see how we can all do more unit testing of our DNN modules.

Happy Coding!

The DotNetNuke Blog Module V 3.05.00 was recently released, see Antonio's Blog Post.

The new DNN version has a lot of features that Antonio's talks about, download it here.

This is a quick post with some screen prints that show how easy it is to set up the blog for posting from a Web Authoring tool that supports the MetaWebLog API, such as Windows Live Writer.

Here are some screen prints from my install on a new Laptop that I am setting up for my travels to OpenForce, you are going also, right?

Step 1) Download and Install Windows Live Writer - The installer was a bit obnoxious and kept coming to the foreground to report installer progress...

Step 2) Start the install and select the option stating that you already have...

Yesterday was the 2nd Annual Code for the DotNet Users group of Westchester/Fairfield County.

It was a rainy day in Connecticut and the last of the leaves were letting go.

The event was at a great venue again, the Stamford campus for UCONN.

I was only able to attend 3 sessions, as I am busy getting ready for a 2 week trip starting with OpenForce at Devconnections this coming week.

How could I miss a session...

About Me

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jim Bonnie and I have been writing software for over 20 years. After building financial data systems for Reuters for nearly 18 years I have started doing contract work and am excited about technology and currently focus on Microsoft solutions. DotNetNuke has helped provide a good introduction to ASP.NET web application development, and I am now starting to branch out into other areas. Data Access techniques and SubSonic is something that I am looking into now. This has helped me get an invitation to speak at Las Vegas at DNN Open Force 07. it was a great time. And I am looking forward to OpenForce08, where I wil be presenting on TDD for DNN.

 

Reading the codebetter blogs and attending a nothing but .net training class with JP Boodhoo helped spark my interest in ALT.NET. I attended the first conference in Austin Texas, and it was amazing to see Scott Guthrie introduce the ASP.NET MVC framework.
