WebGrids are fantastic when coding for a desktop layout, but what do you do when you need it mobile? Today, I analyze the WebGrid and create CSS to make the WebGrid bend to our will and make it more responsive on a mobile device. 

As you may remember, Microsoft has removed the IE Mode feature from Microsoft Edge. THe company has limited it to enterprise customers and IT admins. They have also stated that the feature was released to the public for testing purposes only. Here is a bit of good news - you can re-enable IE Mode when needed with recent versions of Edge! 

MembershipReboot is a user identity management and authentication library. It has nothing to do with the ASP.NET Membership Provider, but was inspired by it due to frustrations with the built-in ASP.NET Membership system. The goals are to improve upon and provide missing features from ASP.NET Membership. It is designed to encapsulate the important security logic while leaving most of the other aspects of account management either configurable or extensible for application developers to customize as needed. 

But what do you know, turns out JavaScript isn’t quite done changing just yet! And so after over 21,717 respondents took this year's survey we had to dig up our components and charts, curse us-from-a-year-ago for writing such crappy code, and get to work digging through the data. 

With the new Version 7, Entity Framework is moving away from legacy systems and duplications which have accumulated in recent years. As a slim-line new development it will be available for .NET Core, and therefore also WinRT, whilst in addition allowing access to NoSQL databases.This session will show exactly what has changed and how you can benefit from the new possibilities. 

clicking an Internet Explorer icon will launch Microsoft Edge, and this is a behavior that cannot be changed

The Web grows every day. Tools, approaches, and styles change constantly, and keeping up is a challenge. We've compiled the best insights from subject matter experts for you in one place, so you can dive deep into the latest of what's happening in web development.
 

We are about to release Lucene.NET 4.8, and it's time to show what it can do, and how it can be done.
