This repository contains experimental code and ideas I have played with.
This is a small application I wrote to try out using MongoDB from C# using the mongodb-csharp project created by Sam Corder. It allows the user to create small notes and tag them (think a very basic version of StackOverflow tags). These notes are stored within a MongoDB database in a collection called "notes". The application is a small ASP.NET MVC 2 project and makes use of .LESS (which I have previously written about). Note that this is not intended to be an example of best practice or anything, it is just something I created to test out using MongoDB from C#.
Note that this app makes use of CSS 3 @font-face and provides a font. Since IIS 7 does not have any mime types set up for .otf and .woff files (and won't serve anything if it doesn't know what it is), I have added them to the web.config. If you have already done so higher up in your IIS config, just remove the appropriate lines from the web.config.
I have written about this app, and my thoughts regarding MongoDB and its use from C# in my blog post: Going 'NoSQL' with MongoDB and C#
This is the same application as above, but converted to use the NoRM driver.
Experiments with HTML5 canvas.
- Circles - This is my Canvas Circles experiment, which I have also written about.
- 3DTransforms - This is my Flip Flip experiment featuring dancing canvas elements courtesy of CSS 3D tranforms. Safari (>=5) only, although Chrome works okay too.
- DialMeters - This has evolved into my soon-to-be-released Dialify jQuery plugin, which I will shortly be moving into its own dedicated repository.
