Improve your jQuery - 25 excellent tips

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 04:01:14 GMT

jQuery is awesome. I've been using it for about a year now and although I was impressed to begin with I'm liking it more and more the longer I use it and the more I find out about it's inner workings. I'd call myself an "intermediate" jQuery user and I thought some others out there could benefit from all the little tips, tricks and techniques I've learned over the past year. The article also ended up being a lot longer than I thought it was going to be so I'll start with a table of contents so you can skip to the bits you're interested in.

Partial Output Caching in ASP.NET MVC

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 03:16:06 GMT

Unfortunately, the [OutputCache] filter that ships with ASP.NET MVC is merely a thin wrapper around ASP.NET output caching. The MVC team have explained that they're aware of the issues, but it's very difficult to make ASP.NET output caching fit into MVC's design, and they are focusing on other things first. We can quite easily create a new caching filter that captures actions' output and uses ASP.NET's data caching facility to store it for next time. This filter will fit properly into the MVC pipeline, not strangely bypassing authorization or other earlier filters (it will run at the right time in whatever ordered set of filters you've using).
