Our very own Damian Brady took the stage at the DDD event in Brisbane to talk ASP.NET MVC

Mobile devices like tablets and phones are quickly becoming the primary way people access the web. So why are so many sites still not designed for them?

With ASP.NET MVC, it’s easier than ever to literally put your website in the palm of everyone’s hand. MVC 3 has many features that allow you to target mobile devices with different layout and even content. The recent developer preview of MVC 4 makes things even easier.

In this demo-heavy session, we show how quick and easy it is to create new MVC sites using the great Visual Studio tooling and Entity Framework 4. We’ll look at some different techniques and third-party libraries that make targeting mobile devices easy, and we’ll touch on ASP.NET MVC 4 and what it brings to the table.

Stop Using 👍 Wrong in Teams | Adam Cogan

A quick communication tip from Adam Cogan: don’t use 👍 as a catch-all response when someone assigns you a task in Teams, Slack, or Google Chat. In the example Adam gives, if a task will take about five minutes, a thumbs up is too ambiguous because it does not clearly say whether you’ve read it, agree with it, are doing it now, or will do it later. Instead, use 👍 for agreement, 👀 to show you’ve seen the task and are actively working on it, and then replace 👀 with ✅ once the task is done. It is a small change, but it removes ambiguity and cuts down unnecessary follow-up messages.
