Playing with the .Net Jigsaw - So what can this thing do?
Notes from working and playing with web technologies, mainly asp.net 4, MVC 3, Web Pages, HTML5 & CSS 3
Be sure to check out Microsoft WebMatrix with support for the New ASP.NET Web Pages (Razor) WebMatrix Built in support for IIS 7 Express and SEO tools, a very small download and its free.
This is a great way to start building websites, for more getting started guides take a look at http://www.asp.net/web-pages
I have to say that I am really liking the visual studio refresh for ASP.NET MVC3, and support for ASP.NET Web Pages (Razor) http://www.asp.net/mvc — Web Pages and the added support for IIS 7 Express and HTML 5 Support with modernizr
The best way to get started is to use the green button at http://www.asp.net/mvc to install everything you need.
Well this has been one of thoose things that i said I would find a solution to but never found the time. However this weekend I started to read Que's Special edition using Microsoft Expression web by Jim Cheshire which is a great book so far, more about the book when i have finished it, and in one of the troubleshooting section it said:
Large image appears too small
When you load a page with a large image it appears large for a split second then
shrinks to a smaller size automatically.
Why
The cause is Image Toolbar feature introduced in Internet Explorer 6, the feature automatically resizes images so
they fit in the current window.
How to stop this
You can disable this feature for an entire page by adding the following META tag to the page:
<meta-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
or per image using galleryimg like this
<img galleryimg=no alt="image1" src="one.jpg" width="140" height="100" />
Visual Studio Express team have just announced a new Beginner Developer Learning Center. The main part of the site is for beginners of all ages who are interested in learning how to program computers or design and build dynamic web sites. It looks really interesting and I hope it allows people to get started and have some fun with free and great technologies.
This site has a Windows Development track, and the Web Development track. Allowing you to start at the level they feel comfortable at and progress through three separate levels of instruction.
I think that one of the best parts of the site is the Kid's Corner which includes learning and teaching resources for younger learners.
The Kid's Corner features:
Well the site layout is nearing completion and the code behind is coming along well.
So I have started to roll out the new layout around here.
