"The Microsoft Web Protection Library (WPL) is a set of .NET assemblies which will help you protect your web sites, current, future and past. The WPL includes "

Project of a site that makes use of the new ASP.NET Web API via the MVC 4 beta. It creates a single-page web application that looks and works great no matter what kind of device is accessing it. It is also going to form the basis for a number of different design demonstrations, from building cloud-based applications in Azure to creating a responsive, rich UI using the Knockout.js MVVM library.

"One thing that always annoys me when working on a web app is having to write those inevitable pages full of admin functions some of which are just a single button. When hacking up one such page I had a thought - a plug in library providing a command line for your web app might save me a lot of time. NetBash is what I came up with."

"I love ELMAH - this is one those libraries which is both beautiful in its simplicity yet powerful in what it allows you to do. Combine the power of ELMAH with the convenience of NuGet and you can be up and running with absolutely invaluable error logging and handling in literally a couple of minutes."

"Lately, I have been playing with few JavaScript frameworks and in today's modern web applications it is very common that we are including tons of JavaScript files in our application. One of the thing that plays important role in application performance is how fast these script files are delivered into the browsers. I have extensively blogged on combining, compression and caching of JavaScript files in my old blog, in this post I will show you, how you can achieve parallelism in delivering the scripts in the browser with the Head JS library. If you do not know what parallel script downloading is and how does it impact on page speed, then I would suggest to read this article of the YSlow creator. In short, when a browser encounters a script tag in a page it halts its rending until it downloads the script file, the parallelism is actually archived by adding the script dynamically or by XHR depending upon the browser it is running."

"The jQuery UI Team is proud to announce that we are building a rich, fast grid widget that will enhance an HTML table with data linking, sorting, paging, filtering, row selection, and inline editing. As part of this process, we'll be building the features of the grid as standalone widgets and revisiting existing jQuery UI components. At the end of this process, not only will we have a grid, but also a better-tested, more feature-complete user interface library."

"backbone.js from DocumentCloud is a small (2KB, packed) open-source library which allows you to apply the MVC (Model-View-Controller) principle to your JavaScript applications. Backbone supplies structure to JavaScript-heavy applications by providing models key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing application over a RESTful JSON interface."

" The open source HttpCompress library is very easy to incorporate into an ASP.NET web site. First, download the latest version of HttpCompress from the official web site. "

"The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is an architectural design principle that separates the components of a Web application. This separation gives you more control over the individual parts of the application, which lets you more easily develop, modify, and test them."

"This walkthrough shows how to get started with adding ASP.NET AJAX functionality to an ASP.NET MVC application. "

"Many Web applications require a way to restrict access to some resources (such as specific pages) so that those resources are accessible only to authenticated users. The default Web application project template for ASP.NET MVC provides a controller, data models, and views that you can use to add ASP.NET forms authentication to your application. The built-in functionality lets users register, log on and off, and change their password. For many applications, this functionality provides a sufficient level of user authentication."

Lists the built-in attributes you can use on you model for validation

Yup. Used this a little before. Seems handy.

"The AsyncController class enables you to write asynchronous action methods. You can use asynchronous action methods for long-running, non-CPU bound requests. This avoids blocking the Web server from performing work while the request is being processed. A typical use for the AsyncController class is long-running Web service calls."

AmplifyJS is a set of components designed to solve common web application problems with a simplistic API. Amplify's goal is to simplify all forms of data handling by providing a unified API for various data sources. Amplify's store component handles persistent client-side storage, using standards like localStorage and sessionStorage, but falling back on non-standard implementations for older browsers. Amplify's request adds some additional features to jQuery's ajax method while abstracting away the underlying data source.
