Entity Framework 4 – Code First

Entity Framework 4 itself is interesting but what really got me hooked was the CTP 4 preview, and what Microsoft call “Code First”. Code First allows us to describe our model using regular POCO classes, instead of designing our model using either the EF editor or creating in directly in the database.

First steps toward EPiServer and ASP.NET MVC

Recently I started a new assignment at a customer where we are going to build their new public web site and their intranet, both of them based on EPiServer CMS 6. The person leading the project is very found of ASP.NET MVC, so my first task was to experiment with EPiServer and ASP.NET MVC, to […]

Functional programming in C# 3.0 and LINQ

I first learned about functional programming a few years ago when I took a class in Haskell programming at my university, Chalmers. While Haskell might not be for everyday use, many of the concepts are very compelling, such as higher order functions, pattern matching, lazy evaluation, list comprehensions, lambda functions and map/fold/filter. Over the years […]
