If you haven't heard by now the ASP.NET MVC Beta has been released and is available for download. NB: You will need to uninstall Preview 5 before trying to install. Big ups to the team for getting to this stage and the inclusion of jQuery is a very nice addition. Thanks to Derik for a heads up on some of the changes. There are far less breaking changes than previous releases which is great. If you're using a custom Controller Factory to inject the Controller at runtime you might come across this when you try and browse to a page.

The type name System.Web.Mvc.IController, System.Web.Mvc could not be located

Because they have added the System.Web.Mvc, System.Web.Routing & System.Web.Abstractions assemblies to the GAC they aren't copied to the Bin by default. So make sure you right click on System.Web.Mvc , go to Properties and set Copy Local to "true". Basic stuff I know but had me scratching my head for a second or two.

3 Reasons Why Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) Won’t Replace Native Apps












By


Will Beattie




















 Many people believe Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are the future of the mobile web, but in my opinion, PWAs are not a replacement for native mobile apps.   Here are three reasons why:    1. Native mobile apps provide a smoother & faster experience   Mobile websites, progressive or otherwise are slower and not as smooth. 90% of the time spent is spent using apps vs the browser .   The single most significant contributing factor to a smooth experience on mobile is the speed of the network and latency of the data downloaded and uploaded.   When you visit websites on desktop or mobile, there is a lot of third-party code/data that gets downloaded to your device, which more often than not has zero impact on the user experience.   This includes:     CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)  JavaScript  Ad network code  Facebook tracking code  Google tracking code    The median number of requests a mobile website makes is a shocking  69 .   On the other hand, native apps only get the data that...

   I just spent the last little while trying to clear space on our servers in order to install .NET 4.5 . Decided to post so my future self can find the information when I next have to do this.  I performed all the usual tasks:     Deleting any files/folders from C:\windows\temp and C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\Temp   Delete all EventViewer logs   Save to another Disk if you want to keep them   Remove any unused programs, e.g. Firefox   Remove anything in C:\inetpub\logs   Remove any file/folders C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles   Remove any file/folders from C:\Users\%UserName%\Downloads   Remove any file/folders able to be removed from C:\Users\%UserName%\Desktop   Remove any file/folders able to be removed from C:\Users\%UserName%\My Documents   Stop Windows Update service and remove all files/folders from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution  Deleting an Event Logs  Run COMPCLN.exe Move the Virtual Memory file to another disk  However this wasn’t enough & I found the most space...

CPF Contribution Rates for new Singapore Permanent Residents (SPR’s)

Recently my wife and I applied and got approved for Singapore Permanent Residency. After completing the formalities the most significant immediate change is the contribution to CPF  which is Singapore’s mandatory social security savings scheme requiring contributions from employers and employees. CPF  contributions start from the date you obtain SPR status, which is the date of the entry permit.    Being a relentless budgeter I needed to know exactly how much I and my employer would have to contribute so that I could adjust my budget accordingly as the employee contributions get deducted from the monthly salary.  After doing some research I discovered that there is a “graduated” approach to CPF  contributions for new SPR’s where the contributions gradually increase in the first and second year and then upon reaching the third year are at the full amount.  Note: There is an option for employers to contribute the full amount for year 1 and year 2 and the employee can use the gra...
