Node.js Node.js & ASP.NET Core 1.0: A Usage Comparison - Part 1: Intro Some days ago I was talking about Web APIs with Node.js for .NET developers [https://speakerdeck.com/manuelrauber/web-apis-mit-node-dot-js-fur-net-entwickler-uber-den-tellerrand-geblickt] at the BASTA! [https://basta.net/] Conference in Darmstadt, Germany. We from Thinktecture [http://thinktecture.com] had a blast at this great conference! My main focus in this session was
Angular Flakes - An alternative to proven HTML5 cross-platform UI Frameworks Every developer can relate to this quote: > There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things. > -- Phil Karlton I want to add another thing to Phil's list: Finding an UI framework. Don't get me wrong, there are a
ASP.NET Core Back to the roots: Creating thin Web APIs using the Core of ASP.NET Core 1.0 I'm currently fiddling about ASP.NET Core 1.0 [https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/] using VS Code [https://code.visualstudio.com/] on my Mac. I have a simple scenario: Building a Web API which has CRUD operations for a CustomerModel. So purely HTTP things. :-) My controller
CloudFlare Supercharge your ghost.io blog with CloudFlare Intro As you may noticed I switched my blog over to ghost.io [https://ghost.io/]. My colleague and friend Thorsten has a nice blog post [https://www.xplatform.rocks/2016/02/01/ghost-as-blogging-platform/] about the reasons which I highly share. Writing posts and creating templates is so much cleaner,
IDE Starting WebStorm with a custom Java SDK on Mac OS X Update Okay, there is a much easier way of switching the Java SDK for WebStorm. Just press shift twice to invoke WebStorm's Search Everywhere feature, type in "Switch Boot JDK" and select the "Switch IDE boot JDK..." action. Then select your JDK, you want
SequelizeJS Using geo-based data with SequelizeJS utilizing PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server in Node.js I’m currently building an Angular 2 sample application, which will use location-based data.

Angular Angular 2 Spinner Component As I posted the little Input Debounce Component [https://manuel-rauber.com/2015/12/31/debouncing-angular-2-input-component/]some days ago, here is a very little Angular 2 Spinner Component. The component uses a spinner from Tobias Ahlin’s SpinKit [https://github.com/tobiasahlin/SpinKit]. For completeness, I’ll post the CSS and
Angular Where are my Observable operators? :-) Just a note to myself: Since AngularJS 2 Beta 0, it will not expose Observable anymore. Before Beta 0 (or some alpha’ish 48) you could do: import {Observable} from 'angular2/angular2'; Starting with Beta 0, you need to import it directly from RxJS: import {Observable} from '
Angular Debouncing Angular 2 Input Component This post was written when Angular 2 beta0 was the current version.

Auth0 Automatically augment find() results of SequelizeJS with Auth0 user data For my current side project (aside from TankZ! [https://manuel-rauber.com/2015/06/15/tankz-a-game-made-to-learn-unity/];-)) I’m using Auth0 [http://auth0.com] for identity management as well as SequelizeJS [http://docs.sequelizejs.com/en/latest/] with a MS SQL server. That said, I don’t have the user data
MSSQL Connect to MS SQL using Node.js and SequelizeJS Today I tried using Node.js together with SequelizeJS [http://docs.sequelizejs.com/en/latest/] to connect to a named MS SQL instance. SequelizeJS is an ORM providing abstractions to work with databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL and more. While the documentation is really good, it is missing the
