I recently had the opportunity to speak to a group in Denver, Colorado about Microservices, Docker, Angular, and ASP.NET Core which was a lot of fun. Briebug sponsored the event at Alamo Drafthouse and we had a great turnout!  Thanks to Briebug for organizing the event (really appreciate Anne, Jesse, and Bill for everything they did) and for everyone that came out to see the talk. Here’s an overview of what the talk was all about: Learn about the role that microservices can play in today’s enterprise environments in this talk by Dan Wahlin. Learn what a microservice is, how […]

I’m excited to announce the release of my new course on Pluralsight titled Integrating Angular with ASP.NET Core RESTful Services! This course follows up my previous course which focused on Angular and Node.js. The code in this new class covers ASP.NET Core 2.0 or higher and Angular 4 or higher. As with my previous course, I’ll walk you through the process of using Angular to call into RESTful services and perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operations in an application to allow a user to view and modify data. However, in this course the services are built using C# and […]

The Role of Interfaces in TypeScript

This entry was posted in .NET javascript TypeScript on by

In my last post I talked about how classes and interfaces could be extended in the TypeScript language. By using TypeScript’s extends keyword you can easily create derived classes that inherit functionality from a base class. You can also use the extends keyword to extend existing interfaces and create new ones. In the previous post I showed an example of an ITruckOptions interface that extends IAutoOptions. An example of the interfaces is shown next: interface IAutoOptions { engine: IEngine; basePrice: number; state: string; make: string; model: string; year: number; } interface ITruckOptions extends IAutoOptions { bedLength: string; fourByFour: bool; } […]

Extending Classes and Interfaces using TypeScript

This entry was posted in .NET javascript TypeScript on by

In a previous post I discussed the fundamentals of the TypeScript language and how it can be used to build JavaScript applications. TypeScript is all about strongly-typed variables and function parameters, encapsulation of code, and catching issues upfront as opposed to after the fact to provide more maintainable code bases. One of the great features it offers is the ability to take advantage of inheritance without having to be an expert in JavaScript prototypes, constructors, and other language features (although I certainly recommend learning about those features regardless if you use TypeScript or not). In this post I’ll discuss how […]

Creating a TypeScript Workflow with Gulp

This entry was posted in .NET angularjs Gulp javascript jQuery TypeScript on by

TypeScript provides a lot of great functionality that lets you leverage many of the features available in ES6 today but how do you get started using it in your favorite editor? If you’re using Visual Studio or WebStorm then TypeScript support can be used directly and everything happens magically without much work on your part. But, if you’re using Sublime Text, Brackets, Atom, or another editor you’ll have to find a plugin to compile .ts files to JavaScript or create your own custom workflow. While several plugins exist to compile TypeScript and even provide code help as you’re writing TypeScript […]

Adding Azure Active Directory and OWIN Code into an AngularJS/ASP.NET MVC Application to Handle User Authentication

This entry was posted in .NET ActiveDirectory angularjs Azure Cloud javascript Office365 SPA on by

In a previous post I discussed how to setup the necessary configuration code and assemblies in an AngularJS/ASP.NET MVC application in order to authenticate users against Azure Active Directory (AAD). Once the initial configuration is complete you can write code to redirect users to the AAD login screen to retrieve an ID token. In Part 4 of an article series I’m writing for http://itunity.com I discuss the necessary code that’s required to authenticate a user and retrieve the ID token. Additional topics covered include hooking AAD into the ASP.NET MVC pipeline, creating an Entity Framework token cache, triggering authentication against […]

Adding Azure Active Directory Configuration Code and Assemblies into an AngularJS/ASP.NET MVC Application

This entry was posted in .NET ActiveDirectory angularjs Azure Cloud javascript Office365 SPA on by

In a previous post I discussed the process for registering an application with Azure Active Directory (AAD) so that users can be authenticated. AAD supports a wide range of features that can be used to perform authentication, authorization, and claims-based security tasks. Once an application has been registered with AAD you’ll need to add configuration code into the application’s web.config file, add related NuGet packages, and add custom C# code into the application in order to take advantage of AAD authentication functionality. In Part 3 of an article series I’m writing for http://itunity.com I discuss these tasks and walk-through the […]
