developer platform for the last time posted on august 2 2016 by kevinobee 1 i have finished enough of a ground up rebuild of a developer machine to take stock the rebuild process went something like this step 1 start long running installation step 2 wait for installation to complete step 3 go back to step 1 rinse and repeat hard learnt lessons building a windows based developer workstation takes more time than you imagine long periods of waiting for installations to complete is wasteful rebuilding workstation machines is repetitive one more point on the the manual build process i will never have to do it again continue reading share email a link to a friend opens in new window email print opens in new window print share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new

developer i love using todo markers in my code they document minor details that i need to revisit and allow me as a coder to keep moving with the aim of getting an overall structure in place i do this in feature branches and i often do a git rebase i to tidy up all of my local commits into something more meaningful to merge back into the develop or master branch as you are reading this i hope that you will agree with the next few points that i make about source code best practices so here are my views on what i believe to be a sensible perspective on how you treat releasable code continue

kevinobee reply it s been an interesting few weeks since i came back from vacation found myself transferred to the sitecore mvc project something that in the past would have been considered a bit of a poison chalice not this time around as a project we started by asking and listening to what the sitecore development community were calling out for as far as i know this is a first for my organisation the feedback though is where it matters model view controller it s no secret that microsoft has re invented itself around engaging with the community since scott guthrie and others started to lift the covers on internal development activities microsoft went further than most commercial organisations are able to go it open sourced a great swathe of its intellectual property and even opened it up to

implementations that use no form of dependency injection di or perhaps worse still lean on a service locator pattern to build up component dependencies when i tweeted about this situation some of the responses i got back really surprised me wondering why more sitecore web forms devs don t use an ioc and employ di it s 5 minutes work to get property injection going kevinobee october 26 2013 i m not sure whether there is a lack of awareness about di around some areas of the sitecore developer community or as some of the responses to the tweet suggested we have more than our fair share of dark matter developers in this post i ll try to give the briefest overview of what di is and show just how simple it is to implement in a sitecore solution continue reading share email a link to a friend

issue and workaround for something that i spotted when working with sitecore nuget to install sitecore enabled nuget packages for the uninitiated the following extract explains the idea behind these packages sitecore nuget allows nuget packages to be installed in a sitecore solution including sitecore items a sitecore nuget package that contains items requires the sitecore rocks hard rock web service installed on server and that the visual project has been connected to the sitecore installation the open source sitecore mvc contrib project uses sitecore nuget to package up and install sitecore content items in order for these packages to install the visual studio project has to be connected to a sitecore site in itself that is not a problem simply right click on the project file in the visual studio solution explorer select sitecore connect to sitecore explorer connection on the context dialog and connect to a sitecore website this will add a connection to the sitecore explorer as shown below after configuring the project you should be able to install a sitecore nuget package like any other pm install package sitecore mvc contrib the regular files within the package get installed as expected and then a nasty surprise pops into the package manager console output successfully added sitecore mvc contrib 1 0 1 to website install items a connection to sc66contrib sitecore

cassette with sitecore mvc posted on april 13 2013 by kevinobee reply cassette is a fantastic bundling and minification solution for those developing in asp net it automatically sorts concatenates minifies caches and versions all your javascript coffeescript css less sass and html templates by doing this you end up with web pages that issue fewer http requests and you reduce the size of each of those requests i recently ran into an unexpected issue when using cassette with a sitecore 6 6 mvc implementation that took long enough to get to the bottom of that i thought it worth documenting after installing the cassette nuget package and make the few changes necessary to configure my stylesheet and script bundles i was very happy with the results all of my local css and javascript files had been minified and combined and were now being pulled down from the server with just two http requests job done and in no time at all or so i thought deep investigation photo credit stéfan all was fine until i fired up the sitecore page editor to work on some of the site content what greeted me after i logged in was quote literally an empty page the chrome dev tools confirmed that the page requested had indeed returned a zero byte response i faired no better when i tried to preview the page in the sitecore content editor i just got the same story an empty page the odd thing was that when i hooked up the visual studio debugger i could see that all of my mvc layouts controllers and renderings were executing just as i expected when this sort of thing happens i usually fall back to chopping out anything that could be interfering with the response in this case pipeline handlers and finally modules eventually the culprit revealed itself the cassettehttpmodule was responsible for my empty responses continue reading share email a link to a friend opens in new window email print opens in new window print share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new

with a very useful web config patching feature that allows everything within the element in the configuration file to be modified and extended it is a best practice recommendation not to modify the web config file directly but instead use customised configuration files located within the app_config include folder to overlay the modifications that your solution requires rather that regurgitate information on how to use the web config patching mechanism i ll suggest instead that you start with john west s post all about web config include files with the sitecore asp net cms for a definitive way into this subject web config transform files developers working with asp net web applications outside of the sitecore ecosystem are likely to be performing their web config transformations using microsoft s xdt transform syntax the popularity of the xdt engine is such that it has recently be issued as a nuget package so that it can be shipped with third party products whilst on the subject of xdt transforms it would be worth pointing out the slow cheetah visual studio extension for those new to the area this package enables you to transform your web config or any other xml file based on the build configuration and preview the outcome simply invaluable continue reading share email a link to a friend opens in new window email print opens in new window print share on facebook opens in
