Screencasters Episode 103 – Ice Pop

In this tutorial I will draw a rather simple ice pop (or popsicle) in Inkscape v0.47.

A very special thank-you goes to Christian (of Chrisdesign) for providing me with this tutorial. Again, he has done all of the hard work for me. How nice is that? ;)

Here’s the color palette for the tutorial.

Screencasters Episode 105 – Chrome Filter

In this episode I will take another stab at illustrating chrome using a pre-defined filter effect found in Inkscape 0.47.

I recommend checking out other chrome effect tutorials for Gimp and Inkscape. MeetTheGimp Episode 065 and Troy Sobotka’s Inkscape tutorial. Of course those two are not the only ones found on the Net but they are rather inspirational.

Incidentally, there is a little video glitch at about the 1:50 mark. It’s only there for a few seconds. ;)

Screencasters Episode 106 – The CMYK Episode

In this screencast I demonstrate how to use a couple of utilities to convert an RGB image created in Inkscape to CMYK. I used Inkscape version 0.47.

There are several applications and utilities to choose from in order to convert an RGB image to a CMYK image (Gimp w/Separate+ plugin, Scribus, and tifficc deserve mention) . In this screencast I show just two: Imagemagick and CMYKTool. For Imagemagick I have provided a text file with the commands that I used. Currently, my personal favorite is CMYKTool due to its simplicity with drag-n-drop. :)

NOTE: I made a mistake during the screencast when I converted the CMYK TIF to CMYK PDF with Imagemagick. I included an input sRGB color profile when that was absolutely unnecessary. I think I was paying more attention to the output color profile then what I had for the rest of the command. I believe it converted just fine but it might have confused a bunch of you. Whoops! I fixed this in the provide text file.

If anyone would like to post their current workflow for CMYK (if they have one) then please do.

How Do I: Create and Use Classes in JavaScript?

In this video Chris Pels shows how to create classes in JavaScript with functionality similar to other programming languages with object oriented capabilities. First a sample web site project is created with an external JavaScript file. A function() is created and the difference between using the function as a "function" and as a class constructor with the "new" keyword is discussed. Then public properties are added to the class constructor as well as private variables. Next a separate function is created and assigned as a method to the class. Alternatively, the same method is shown as a function defined in the class constructor. Finally, a private class method is created and used within the class constructor.

How Do I: Create an Efficient and Standardized Approach for Implementing CSS Styles?

In this video Chris Pels shows how to organize and implement CSS styles that provide a standardized look and feel to a web site. In addition, the styles are organized to provide maximum flexibility and reusability. A set of styles is created that focuses on the visual appearance of the site. First, a sample web site is created with a CSS file for a sample page. The first groups of styles created are oriented towards providing containers for content throughout the site. Next, a set of styles are added that focus on displaying the "state" of user interface elements. Finally, a set of styles for user interaction cues are created. Each of the styles is used with HTML elements on the sample page. There is also a discussion about using the same implementation approach for styles that control element layout on the site.

How Do I: Work with Model Binders in an MVC Application?

In this video Chris Pels shows how to use model binders to bind form data to complex business objects in models in an MVC application. First, an MVC application is created along with a simple model for a Customer class along with a controller and view for editing the customer data. Then, the automatic model binding of MVC is demonstrated with the customer class. Next, the Bind attribute is discussed and demonstrated as a mechanism for controlling the details of the binding process to include and exclude specific properties of a complex object. Finally, the use of namespace prefixes for segmenting form data on a page is discussed.

How Do I: Use HttpVerbs Attributes in an MVC Application?

In this video Chris Pels shows how to use the HttpVerbs attributes to control access to MVC actions. First, a sample application is created with a default controller and view for editing the information. Next, a second Index action is added to the controller which has an HttpPost attribute which restricts it to being called only when an HTTP POST is used. As a follow-up, the AcceptVerbs() attribute is implemented as an alternative syntax for Visual Studio 2008. A use of the HttpVerbs for preventing the security risk associated with using an HTTP GET to perform a delete from a link is then discussed.

How Do I: Create a Custom HTML Helper for an MVC Application?

In this video Chris Pels shows how to create a custom HtmlHelper that is not available in the standard set in an MVC application. First, a sample MVC application is created with a demo controller and view to test the custom HtmlHelper. Next, a module is created with a public function that is an extension method which represents the implementation of the custom HtmlHelper. The custom helper is for creating <img> tags in a page and receives several inbound parameters including the id, url, and alt text for the image tag. The logic is then added to the function for returning the completed <img> tag with the specified information. Then the custom HtmlHelper is used on the demo page to display an image. Finally, the custom HtmlHelper is expanded to include multiple constructor overrides which provide flexibility for more easily creating different <img> tags.

How Do I: Customize Error Handling for the ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel

When an error occurs during the processing of a postback triggered by an ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel, the client-side PageRequestManager will show an alert (.NET 2.0 or 3.0) or just re-throw the exception (.NET 3.5 or later). In either case, the experience for the end user is less that optimal. In this video, Rob Windsor will demonstrate how to address this issue by customizing the handling of errors associated with the UpdatePanel

How Do I: Use ASP.NET AJAX Client Templates

There are two key steps involved in building AJAX interactions, calling services asynchronously and updating the page with the resulting data. ASP.NET AJAX has always made the first part easy but it hasn’t provided much support for the second. To address this issue, Microsoft has added client-side templates and data binding and in this video, Rob Windsor will demonstrate how to use these new features in your AJAX applications.

How Do I: Return JSON Formatted Data for an AJAX Call in an ASP.NET MVC Web Application?

In this video Chris Pels shows how to use the JsonResult and Json classes to return instances of classes as JSON formatted data. First, a sample MVC web application is created and a controller and associated view are added for customer information. Then a simple customer class is created as part of the data model. A GetCustomer() function is then added to the customer controller to retrieve data for a single customer in JSON format. Finally, script is added to the customer view that uses jQuery to make an AJAX call to GetCustomer() to retrieve the customer data in JSON format

How Do I: Work with Data in ASP.NET MVC Partial Views?

In this video Chris Pels shows how to organize and pass data to partial views in an MVC application. A sample MVC application is created that contains domain models for several business entities as well as a view model that packages instances of the classes. A demo view is then created along with several partial views, all of which are strongly typed and make use of the view model class. The partial views are then added to the demo view and the instance of the view model is used to easily pass the appropriate data down to the partial views. Finally, the uses of the concepts implemented in the sample in a more extensive MVC application are discussed.

How Do I: Implement View Models to Manage Data for ASP.NET MVC Views?

In this video Chris Pels shows how to use the concept of a "View Model" for managing data for ASP.NET MVC views. First, a sample MVC project is created that uses a ViewDataDictionary to package and pass data from a controller to a view. Next, a class is created which represents a view model for a view in the sample MVC project. As part of this implementation, the advantages of the view model approach are discussed. Finally, there is a discussion of how to partition the application logic when using a view model implementation.
