GuruStop.NET

As usual Python stuff for .NET is more advanced and evolving quicker than Ruby stuff.

Sad fact to me as (syntax-wise), I like Ruby much more!

Important: Read Installation Details Below

I haven’t tried yet but what they claim for IDE features specifically is really impressive (if works as in screenshots).

They also support multiple Python runtimes/environments (CPython, different versions of IronPython, PyPy).

Update

Before download, make sure to read the installation details carefully:

OK, instead of much talk, let me quote you the email that says all 1-day deals by SitePoint in last 23 days are available today. I’m not sure of the time zone for “today”, so, ne quick!

The time has almost arrived to tear open our presents …
But before we do that …

You know all those cool deals you missed? Don’t despair!
We’ve brought them all back and you can scoop up any deals
you missed out on while saving up to 90%!
http://sale.sitepoint.com/

 

To ensure the accuracy of your orders, each deal must be processed
individually. This means we’re unable to combine shipping costs.
However, the prices are so low, you’ll still be saving bucket loads.

 

Thank you for participating in our Christmas Countdown!

 

We hope you’ve enjoyed the deals we’ve had to offer as much
as we’ve enjoyed sharing them with you.
Happy Holidays and all the best for a prosperous 2011! :)

 

The SitePoint crew

Go and pick the offer that sounds good for you. Do not worry about the "X" on each.

SitePoint, a well-known publisher of nice easy-but-deep books in web design and web related stuff, has celebrated the end of the world cup (and the fact that Spain has won) by putting an ebook of one of their titles for FREE (“jQuery: Novice to Ninja”, 407 pages) – only for 24 hours (which I don’t know starting what hour, so, go quick!)

Get the book by putting your email here (you receive the PDF link by email):

Thanks Scott Hanselman (@SHanselman) for spreading on twitter, hence getting me to know about the book!

Have fun,

A great video series on all the nice effects (and functionality) you can achieve with jQuery JavaScript library for those who know NOTHING about it.

jQuery is a very powerful library. One of the first things I do when creating new project is to include the library in it. Microsoft is going to include it by default in ASP.NET web projects (All ASP.Net projects, not just MVC) starting Visual Studio 2010.

Here are some few examples of what you can do with it (VIDEO):

Have fun jQuerying…

If you heard about Microsoft Oxite CMS, this is the new one, created as a different project to avoid previous developer comments.:

Quote From Press:

The guesses (by me and others) look like they were on target. The “Orchard Project,” which is getting its debut on November 11 at Tech Ed Europe is, indeed, the successor to the Microsoft Oxite content-management system (CMS).

Microsoft made available the first the open-source Oxite CMS bits at the end of 2008. Like Oxite, Orchard will be a free, open-source CMS platform — plus a set of shared components for building ASP.Net applications and extensions. The Orchard code is licensed under an OSI-approved New BSD license.

From the Orchard page on the Microsoft CodePlex code-repository site:

“(T)his core (Orchard) team will use their experience working with ASP.NET and Oxite to deliver a fundamentally new architecture that is the Orchard CMS. We have deliberately chosen to start development, with the guidance and contribution from the community. Over time we expect this project to become a viable successor to Oxite v1 and we know that providing a migration path for users of that existing application will be a high priority.”
