24 / 12 - ASP.NET MVC 4.0

הינה פלטפורמה המאפשרת פיתוח מהיר ונוח של אפליקציות מבוססות WEB. הטמעה של עקרונות ה-MVC בסביבת ה-Web מעולם לא היתה נוחה ופשוטה כל כך. כחלק מהטרנד ההולך וגובר להשתמש בתצורת ה-MVC מיקרוסופט דוחפת לכיוון חדש לגמרי של פיתוח בסביבת ה-WEB, מהפכה שניתן להשוות אותה למעבר מ-ASP לסביבת הפיתוח של ASP.NET. הפלטפורמה ניתנת להרחבה בקלות ומתממשקת עם עקרונות ה-TDD.

26 / 12 - ASP.NET Web API

ASP.NET Web API is a framework that makes it easy to build HTTP services that reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices. ASP.NET Web API is an ideal platform for building RESTful applications on the .NET Framework.

23 / 12 - HTML5 Web Development

HTML5 is the biggest leap forward in web technologies in the last generation. With broad support from Apple, Mozilla, Microsoft and Google, all the major browsers have rapidly incorporated HTML5 features. HTML5 is A Web Experience that Uses Open Standards; it provides you with Rich Web Experiences with Cross Platform, Cross Device & Cross-Browser Consistency. In this course you will learn about the new HTML5 structural, semantic, and form tags, how to use Canvas to create drawings natively in the browser, how to work with HTML5 audio and video, the new

23 / 12 - Deep Dive into JavaScript, jQuery & HTML 5.0

JavaScript has become popular in the last few years due to it being easy to learn, highly flexible and yet a powerful scripting language. If you want to implement dynamic actions on a web page in today’s browsers you have no other option, but to use JavaScript. Currently, HTML5 is the future of web development and JavaScript plays a major role.

25 / 12 - Single Page Apps (SPA) with M-V-VM and Knockout.JS

Knockout is a JavaScript library that helps you to create rich, responsive display and editor user interfaces with a clean underlying data model. Any time you have sections of UI that update dynamically (e.g., changing depending on the user’s actions or when an external data source changes), KO can help you implement it more simply and maintainably.

27 / 12 - SignalR - Websockets Communication

SignalR is a new async signaling library for .NET developed and maintained by David Fowler and Damian Edwars from Microsoft’s ASP.NET and NuGet teams. If you ever wanted to push data from the server to clients (and not just browser clients!) in real time with ease, SignalR will be your perfect companion.

Course Description:

Trainer:

Hagit Badash is a highly skilled and experienced software architect and development management. Hagit has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Microsoft .NET Framework altogether. Hagit had lead the design and development of many complex distributed systems from the ground up. These systems had been developed using most current .NET technologies, such as WPF, Silverlight, Prism, Data Services, WinForm, MEF, LINQ, Parallel Extensions and .NET 4.0. Hagit lead development teams, conducted lectures and workshops, and has been a Significant contributor in the R&D development and management of both client and server products.

הכל התחיל במפגש יעוץ שעשיתי בבנק הפועלים. הם עובדים בסביבת עבודה שאין להם גישה לאינטרנט, והם רצו ליהנות מהיכולות של Nuget. מיקרוסופט מאפשרת להוריד שרת שאפשר להתקין אותו בארגון, אך הוא מאוד פשוט בלי הרבה יכולות. מכאן בא לי הרעיון לנהל את זה על SharePoint. יוני (ה-CTO  של החברה בתחום SP ) מיד התנדב לפתח את זה.

ניתן להוריד את הקוד מכאן: http://sprnuget.codeplex.com/,
נשמח לקבל פידבקים.

What is it all about?

SPRNuGet combines SharePoint 2010 powerful features such as item security, publishing and UI to help you organize your code packages using build-in features of SharePoint such as folders, item level forms, ratings and enterprise keywords. The following screenshot shows an example for the repository folder:

Once a NuGet package is uploaded to the SPRNuGet folder in SharePoint you'll be able to edit all of the metadata of the package using the following form:

The form allows you to edit the following package metadata fields:

• Title
• Description
• Summary
• Language
• Copyrights
• Version
• Icon URL
• Both the Latest Version and Absolute Latest version fields
• The project URL
• The project's License URL
• Release notes
• The license acceptance field
• Tags (from a SPRNuGet term store created during the installation process)
• Rating

Using NuGet's powerful integration with Visual Studio you'll be able to install packages straight from your local SharePoint repository!

Known issues

1. Using NuGet Package Manager 1.7, packages from SPRNuGet will only show when "Include Prerelease" is selected. In NuGet Package Manager 1.6 there is no such issue.
2. Search is not yet implemented. 
3. Download count is not implemented yet and will always show '0'.
4. Dependencies are not implemented yet and are not functioning at all.
5. No support for multiply authors for packages yet.

Whats next for SPRNuGet?

In the coming releases of SharePoint Repository for NuGet you can expect the follows:

1. Fix the issues with NuGet Package Manager 1.7
2. Implement the search method.
3. Implement dependencies.
4. Implement download count and create a usage dashboard with statistics on packages, users etc.
5. Fix multiply authors bug.
6. Implement integration with FAST for SharePoint search engine. 
7. Fix icon for NuGet packages inside the repository folder.
8. Much much more ;)

The "Deco Ceramic Tile" carries the same quality standard as our signature "Elso Mug". The difference between the Deco Tile and our Elso standard Tile, is the Deco Tile is thinner making it an ideal choice for use as custom inserts in our Tile accessories or as a wall mural where a thinner and lighter tile is desired. Ceramic tile murals can be installed on a wall, on your ceiling or create one for your kitchen. You can expect the Elso quality standards with every tile printed. If you are looking for a tile floor mural, then you will want to see our line of glass floor tiles. Ceramic tiles are not designed for floor use where there is to be any traffic.

http://thetilemaster.com/deco.htm

The tile decorating process discussed on this web site is called inkjet sublimation (an overview of this process is in the section below).

The one absolute requirement of this process is that the tiles must have a polymer coating on them. When a tile is decorated using the sublimation process the image is transferred into the polymer coating and actually becomes a part of it.

When you run your finger across the surface of a sublimated tile you will feel nothing. This is because the image is now part of the coating.

We stress this because we do not want you to have the mistaken impression that you can run down to your local home improvement center and buy tiles or other ceramic products. You can't! None of their ceramic products will be correctly coated to accept the inkjet sublimation process.

Sublimatable ceramics are manufactured by industry specialists who produce and coat the product, especially for inkjet sublimation.

Could you coat your own ceramic products? Yes, but 99% of the time, for individuals and small companies, it is not worth it! The time and money spent in trying to set up a coating operation will cost you more than the investment you need to just decorate the tiles and start making money.

 Binary Options

Recently I just started working on a new project at Win Gaming Media Inc. The company is leading provider of online trading of binary options and the owner of EZTrader.com and GlobalOption.com, two of the major players in online trading of binary options.

Binary options are an investment tool where investors can receive a high return (binary options have much greater return than in most types of investment). Trading options is very simple, traders only have to predict the direction of the change in the price of the underlying asset, unlike other forms of financial investment, in trading binary options it doesn't matter if the market goes up or goes down, traders will still earn the same fixed profit. With binary options, traders can predict the direction of a variety of assets (currencies, stocks, indices, commodities, future indices) which are set to expire in an hour, at the end of the trading day, or at the end of the trading week.

The project I'm working on is targeted to integrate between the binary options trading websites and the website Facebook pages. At the end of the process, new users will be able to register and log-in to their accounts on GlobalOption.com and EZtrader.com just by using their Facebook log in information, and more than that, it will enable more futures as: making a deposits and sharing information on their successful investments with their Facebook friends. We are really hoping to help WGM.Inc to reach more users by creating a simple registration form and by improving the user experience.

After a while of working with TFS work item, a lot of data is been assembled inside the TFS. This data can be access by the TFS quire and even can be exported into Excel sheet, but what about exporting the data into Word document?

There are a few tools in the market that you can use to export the data to Word document but none of this tools will export the data and will generate the report with the correct hierarchy format that will represent the hierarchy of the data and will also will create the report using a few general roles on the data.

With the great help of Lior Amsalem we created a project which purpose is to auto generate documents that are related to any type of data stored on the TFS. The documents can be tailored documents according to TFS specific data, or standard reports that are required by regularity needs ( FDA, ISO or…), or internal company's development documents (STD, STR, Project Plan…).

The project is based on a few layers

• DAL - The system is using a layer that connects to TFS on top of the TFS APIs and handles all communication and data retrieval from the TFS.
• BL - There is a reporting data layer, that is responsible to build custom data structures according to the reports we need.
• UI – The actual reports generation is using OPEN XML SDKs in order to generate Any type of office documents (Word, Excel…).

For example in one of the company that I advise for, they MUST produce a document that describe the requirement from the product (for FDA needs). They have dozens of work items that describe the product requirement, in the past they have produce the document by hand (copy and paste of work item data into word document) and it took them between 2-3 days with the hope that no mistake was done in manual process.

For the purpose of automatic documentation generation we have developed an infrastructure that can read a TFS quire “Report Product Requirement”

and generate a word document with full hierarchy format of the work items

The product requirement document was the simplest document that was “Automatic generated”, we have also created a SRS(software requirements specifications) and STM(software traceability matrix) which involve also the Test runs results and test cases.
