The skinny on LeviRoute JS routing framework

Paul Kinlan

I've created LeviRoutes, a client-side JavaScript routing framework inspired by Rails. It's simple, fast, and focuses solely on handling URL changes. LeviRoutes works with HTML5 History APIs, hashchange events, and even gracefully degrades for older browsers. It supports named parameters like "/:category" for dynamic routing, allowing you to treat the URL as a controller input. Check it out on GitHub!

Microformat.net

Paul Kinlan

I've released a new, open-source Microformat parser for .NET, available on Codeplex! This stream-based parser uses a flexible XML configuration to define how microformats like hCard and rel-tag are extracted from HTML/XML, allowing for easy adaptation to spec changes. The provided C# code example demonstrates the simplicity of using the framework to read and process microformat data. Feedback and contributions are welcome!

This new version will include the existing .NET Framework 2.0 components (ASP.NET, WinForms, ADO.NET, additional base class libraries, and the CLR) along with new technologies like WPF, WCF, WF, and WCS. However, there's no mention of C# 3.0 being included, and the author finds this renaming confusing and unnecessary.

This post addresses the numerous Google searches related to ".NET framework" and "Xbox 360." Despite the search traffic, I currently have no information on this topic. It seems unlikely that .NET Framework would be available on the Xbox 360 due to the console's different chip architecture and the recent introduction of x86 64-bit support in .NET 2.0. However, I remain open to the possibility.

Google Search: perl c# comparison

Paul Kinlan

This post discusses the differences between Perl and C#. While both languages use semicolons, they differ significantly in object-oriented features, frameworks, semantics, and regular expression handling. C# is strictly object-oriented with a robust framework, while Perl offers more flexibility and built-in regular expressions. The author uses Perl for quick tasks on their Linux server and C# professionally.
