is there any tutorials for SiteCore Rocks using Visual Studio ,
I have already search in Google for various articles and I could find a decent one,
can you guys suggest any links/articles?
Thanks
I easily learn visually , so a video tutorial will be definitely helpful
There's a YouTube playlist dedicated to SitecoreRocks: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=2B8CA35C742803E4
In addition, Sitecore CTO John West has written a number of blog posts on Sitecore Rocks:

If you have access, there is a forum on SDN:

Here is a video from Morten Ljungberg's presentation at the 2012 Sitecore Symposium.

A few things have changed since the version he uses....but he shows some cool things with everyday usage of Rocks.

I want to add Qlikview Development to my skill-set. I have a C# and SQl background. Are there any free online resources to getting me going at developer level not end-user? What's the best starting place for me and the level of difficulty involved.
I am looking for resources that can help me to expert level. One resource I found is the Udemy course and if anyone has done it please share your review of the course content.
You can find good videos on youtube (like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef_BigFXCis).
When you install qlikview, you have there a qlikview tutorial directory. Follow the pdf file and do everything on that pdf. it is very extensive, but after that you can start developing intermediate solutions. The PDF actually covers the whole QV official course.
After that, go to the qlikview cookbook site and start exploring more possibilities.
Find more blogs on QV and subscribe to them.
QV community is amazing. use it!
Qlikview is relatively easy to "get" at first, but don't be fooled by its simplicity - its a whole platform. I've been developing in QV 7 years now and still learn something new once in a while.
And I have to say it - its a very good choice! QV is amazing and very popular.
There isn't much I couldn't do with it.
Currently, Im in the evaluation process between MVC CMS , I like the clean way in coding of the UMBRACO 7.0.x , with the many W3C standard which implemented there.
Recently , I found that Drupal has new release 8.0 , which has new architecture supporting MVC.
As I'm totally new to Drupal world , I would appreciate any feedback about Drupal 8.x Release From different views such as :
The learning curve and first setup and configuration..
agility & Customization
extensibility with plugins
performance & scalability
security
Community support
Any extra view points would be also appreciated...
I'm not a guru of Drupal.
But I can say about Umbraco -
The best community - our.umbraco.org
Latest technologies - Angular, MVC.
A lot of free plugins = http://our.umbraco.org/projects
Documentation - http://our.umbraco.org/documentation
24 days course - http://24days.in/umbraco/2013/
Umbraco Cloud - new way of developing web-sites with Umbraco - https://umbraco.com/cloud
Fully customizable.
Free learn Umbraco course - https://github.com/kgiszewski/LearnUmbraco7
I'm not guru of Umbraco. But I can say a lot about Drupal 8.x which I use for the last 8 years now.
First of all here is an overview of the new 8.x capabilities which are really amazing and move Drupal to the new age.
On individual topics now here are some helpful links.
The learning curve. It may be longer than usual but it deserves the
time. See
https://www.acquia.com/blog/conquering-the-drupal-learning-curve/25/06/2015/3285296
First setup and configuration. Easy enough for a developer. Give it a try here: https://simplytest.me/project/drupal/8.2.3.
Agility & Customization: By far the best fieldable and fully customized framework. You can create fields for displays, add user permissions, show results from the db and many more and all these through a UI.
Extensibility with plugins: https://www.drupal.org/8/platform (3rd party libraries), https://www.drupal.org/8/standards, https://www.drupal.org/project/project_module and an issue queue for each contrib module (eg https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/pathauto?status=All).
Performance & scalability: http://buytaert.net/making-drupal-8-fly
Security: https://www.drupal.org/security and https://www.drupal.org/security-team. By far the most secure open source framework.
Community support. https://www.drupal.org/community (By far the most promising and helpful software community on the web.)
Don't forget to check the licenses (not only for core but also for plugins), the OS supported and some additional resources such as:
umbraco vs. Drupal comparison
Comparison of the usage of Drupal vs. Umbraco for websites
For anyone interested in learning LINQ To SQL, could you suggest:
good book titles
web articles/tutorials
videos
UPDATE: After googling i found most usefull the following
LinqPad (I already bought a licence!)
Linq in Action by Manning and
Linq videos from the VB Team
Please be my guest and complete the list!
Linq To Entities is a good place to start.
http://learnentityframework.com/learnentityframework/
I think Scott Guthrie's blog, is a great place to start.
And this tutorial (although in ASP.NET MVC context), is very good, too (even if you're not specifically using ASP.NET MVC).
Depends what you are intending to do. LINQ is just a way of dealing with collections/lists of data. It can also assist you with connecting to data stores.
What I am saying is that it is just a language feature, and so the best book to buy is one that deals with a version of your language of choice. They usually introduce LINQ quite well. The best ones are the ones that deal with the technology you want to use, eg, ASP.NET. In this case:
Pro ASP.NET 4 in C# 2010, Apress, Matthew Macdonald, Adam Freeman and others was good enough for me.
As ever, the best way to learn these things is to just start working with them. So if, for example, you wanted to use ASP.NET MVC 2, I would buy Steven Sanderson's book (Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework 2) as well. There is a great example in the first few chapters that you can follow. The book has the added advantage that it teaches you to think in MVC.
Once you get to grips with working with LINQ, you can fine tune your knowledge with:
Programming Microsoft LINQ, Microsoft Press, Paolo Pialorsi and Marco Russo.
I am building a email service based on templates. I thought of using the spark view engine but it seems that It doesn't get much updates anymore.
Support on .NET4.0 is not even yet complete and it fails at runtime when used in a console app.
The little Intellisense support that was there in VS2008 doesn't seem to work on VS2010 (from the information I have found)
Should I avoid it?
What do you think?
There has also been talk, from Phil Haack and Louis Dejardin (both on the ASP.NET team) about getting some form of support "in the box" for Spark. That "support" may just be intellisense.
Louis Dejardin, the author is speaking about the view engine at NDC2010, in Norway. I guess it's far from being a dying project then :) good.
If you need to do email based on templates, DotLiquid (http://dotliquidmarkup.org) could be a nice solution, expecially if you need your end users to edit templates without tampering your system.
Do you know some tutorials (preferably a website or a blog) in Visual Basic 6 (not Visual Basic .NET) for data access or CRUD? The caliber and depth that I'm looking for is similar to this site:
Data Access Tutorials for ASP.NET
http://www.asp.net/learn/data-access/
Although the above site is for web applications, I am looking for a WinForm VB6 tutorial.
Thanks in advance for your time.
This page has quite a bit. It's nowhere near as nice as the ASP.NET video tutorials, but it's not bad.
Scroll down for data tutorials.
