Velocity.js Overview
Velocity is an animation engine with the same API as jQuery’s $.animate(). It works with and without jQuery. It’s incredibly fast, and it features color animation, transforms, loops, easings, SVG support, and scrolling. It is the best of jQuery and CSS transitions combined. Download
Download Velocity, include it on your page, and replace all instances of jQuery’s $.animate() with $.velocity(). You will immediately see a performance boost across all browsers and devices — especially on mobile. Compatibility
Velocity works everywhere — back to IE8 and Android 2.3. Under the hood, it mimics jQuery’s $.queue(), and thus interoperates seamlessly with jQuery’s $.animate(), $.fade(), and $.delay(). Since Velocity’s syntax is identical to $.animate(), your code doesn’t need to change. Secret Sauce
JavaScript and jQuery are falsely conflated. JavaScript animation, which Velocity uses, is fast; it’s jQuery that’s slow. Although Velocity works alongside jQuery, it uses its own animation stack that delivers its performance through two underlying principles: 1) synchronize the DOM → tween stack to minimize layout thrashing, and 2) cache values to minimize DOM querying.

> Hosting on Azure and building on Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS)? You should utilize the (now) wonderful release management tool built into VSTS.

When a front-end application (think javascript) tries to access your ASP.NET Core API, if your API is hosted at a different “origin” then you’ll see the dreaded “CORS” error.
Use this tool to make your ASP.NET Core API and front-end app play nice.

Azure is a big cloud with lots of services, and for even the most experienced user it can be intimidating to know which service will best meet your needs. This blog post is intended to provide a short overview of the most common concepts and services .NET developers need get started and provide resources to help you learn more.

So I’m writing to you, my past coding self, to get you up to speed on something important: The Shell. The future me is (moderately) wiser and wants to help. I wrote a similar guide for Git Rebasing that you (and others) found helpful. My post this time is broader, lays the groundwork for learning and understanding more about the Shell and why it matters.

Domain Driven Design for Everyone Else Barry O Sullivan I’ve been talking a lot about Domain Driven Design (DDD) lately, be it at meetups or with clients, so I thought I’d write down my thoughts and see if it helps.

The whole of WordPress compiled to .NET Core and a NuGet Package with PeachPie Why? Because it’s awesome. Sometimes a project comes along that is impossibly ambitious and it works. I’ve blogged a little about Peachpie, the open source PHP compiler that runs PHP under .NET Core. It’s a project hosted at www.peachpie.io.
But…why? Here’s why:
Performance: compiled code is fast and also optimized by the .NET Just-in-Time Compiler for your actual system. Additionally, the .NET performance profiler may be used to resolve bottlenecks. C# Extensibility: plugin functionality can be implemented in a separate C# project and/or PHP plugins may use .NET libraries.
