Links for EPiServer Developers – #1
Posted on February 9, 2011 by Frederik Vig in ASP.NET, EPiServer, Web designFirst post in a new series where I’ll post a list of links to useful resources for EPiServer developers. If you have any link suggestions please email me at: [email protected].
Security
- Web Application Configuration Security Revisited – useful security checklist to go through before launching new sites (or existing)
- JavaScript Captcha – good post that discusses the problems with todays approach to securing against spam bots, and that suggest another approach using JavaScript and timing instead.
Deployment
- You’re deploying it wrong! TeamCity, Subversion & Web Deploy part 1: Config transforms
- Automated database releases with TeamCity and Red Gate
Performance
- Boomerang – JavaScript library developed by Yahoo! for measuring the performance of a website from a client (end user’s) point of view. Along with YSlow (also from Yahoo!) and Page Speed this is a very useful tool to have.
- C#/.NET Little Wonders: The Useful But Overlooked Sets – good post that explains Sets collections (and their changes in .NET 4) and when to use them.
- Performance improvements in EPiServer CMS6R2
Tools
- NuGet – very useful tool developed by Microsoft and the community for easily adding open source modules to your project. Mark Everard wrote a nice post where he goes through adding Page Type Builder as a NuGet package (anyone up for creating an EPiServer NuGet feed? :))
- Microsoft Web Farm Framework 2.0
- Web Deploy 2.0
EPiServer
- Dynamic Data Store and new properties on Types – very useful extension method by Anders Hattestad for the dynamic data store. Remapping is something that most get wrong the first time they work with DDS.
- Creating classes for PageTypeBuilder in an existing project – just because it is so awesome and alot of people don’t know about it :).
- FilteredPageReference v1.1 Released
- Starting CMS 6 sites faster after build – very useful tips – especially when working with EPiServer Community
- Developing a custom workflow in EPiServer – nice 4 part series on how to develop workflows for EPiServer
Code
Database
HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- ASP.NET and HTML5 Local Storage – HTML local storage is one of the coolest new features of HTML 5. Here you’ll get a nice introduction and how to use it in your ASP.NET application.
- Building Large-Scale jQuery Applications – When you start using jQuery and JavaScript in larger scale your code can become very messy after a while. This post has some nice pointers on structuring your code, testing and other goodies.
