Already have a Windows Dev Center account? Inside the New Single Page Apps Template. There are a bunch of shiny new toys, including a new Single Page App (SPA) template, inside the ASP.NET Fall 2012 Update BUILD Prelease ( Download link for it is on this page here ) . The original template for SPA made an appearance over a year ago in a preview and was later removed prior to VS 2012 being released.

Where I’m Going Starting in mid-October I’ll be joining my friends and former/future co-workers Josh Arnold and Roy Moore at Surgery Logistics. FubuMVC, StructureMap, and StoryTeller I’ve already been asked what’s going to happen with the fubu projects now that I’m leaving Dovetail. I think that the pace of fubu development will increase quite a bit and it’ll definitely be easier to keep coordinated with Josh once we’re working together. The Shade Tree Developer.

How does Google create its search algorithms, its recipes for making the listings and search results you get? For the first time, the general public gets a glimpse into the decision making process, through a video that Google has posted of one of its search quality meetings. The Video I was fortunate enough to witness one of these meetings myself recently, and I’ll share some thoughts about that and further context about what happens in them below.
