Hi guys
I'm curious if there is any in-depth articles/eBooks/ that cover WebMatrix technology. I was lookin # MSDN video tutorials so far, but I would like to dig deeper, so looking for in-depth coverage of technology. If you can recommend one, or provide links I would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
The only book that's currently shipping I am aware of is Web Development 101 using Webmatrix. It's an eBook for Kindle. I sometimes run the Kindle software on my computer when developing side by side with the development environment. This is a basic introduction by Laurence Moroney. He also has a more comprehensive book Introducing Microsoft WebMatrix due May 20, 2011.
You should read all of Mike's Web Matrix blog entries. Mike has a book in the works, but it's not shipping yet.
Getting Started with WebMatrix is pretty helpful from the Microsoft ASP site.
The How To's for WebMatrix from the Microsoft Site are a basic introduction.
SimpleMembership for WebPages is an introduction to how to add authentication, log-in, membership to a website. It's from Matthew Osborn and he has additional Webmatrix Entries
Razor Syntax Quick Reference is a cheat sheet by Phil Haack.
ScottGu's WebMatrix posts should be read.
It's worth reading Thoughts on WebMatrix by Rob Conery. Rob has created a micro-ORM (he calls it Data Access Happyness) called Massive which originally was just for WebMatrix, but I believe has expanded beyond it.
Speaking of Rob Conery, it's a good podcast worthy of listening to HanselMinutes podcast on WebMatrix with Scott Hanselman. They developed This Developer's Life in WebMatrix.
Erik Reitan's WebMatrix blog entries are helpful, especially about Helpers.
Chris Love's WebMatrix entries are helpful, especially for using jQuery Templates.

Machine learning seems to be a buzzword on startups, but as a traditional developer dealing mainly on MySQL, Python/PHP, Javascript, etc, I cannot find any really helpful tutorial online that can get me started on using machine learning techniques to enhance existing web projects.
So what I have in mind is like
- categorizing/tagging user submitted post automatically
- provide personalized recommendation
At the risk of being close as non constructive, might I ask here: would there be a "Hello World" kind of projects, or basic use-cases that help introducing machine learning techniques to practical programmers? Or at least some guides as to how to get started on this track?
Although many would recommend Elements of Statistical Learning, by Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman, I feel the following resources more suited for people with a programming background rather than a mathematical background:
Machine Learning for Hackers, Drew Conway and John Myles White, O'Reilly, 2012
Algorithms for the Intelligent Web Haralambos Marmanis and Dmitry Babenko, Manning, 2009
To really get hands on, choose a language and find a machine learning library in that language, along with an accompanying tutorial. For instance Apache Mahout, or Weka for Java, Scikit-learn for Python, etc.
Also, PyGotham2011 features a video tutorial on developing machine learning-based features for web development.
There's quiet a nice, practical hands-on book which might give you some basic insights on what is going on:
Collective Intelligence - Building smart Web2.0 applications
ISBN-10: 0596529325
ISBN-13: 978-0596529321
It is using Python as example language, but I think it should give you some ideas.
Regarding Recommendations, there is also a good Introduction to Mahout Recommenders:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/Recommender+Documentation
Mahout also has the capabilities of doing clustering / categorizing texts, so it's worth to have a look into this machine learning library.

I know this could be a potentially wide open topic but are there any good blogs, tutorials, guides or references for visual Studio Extensibility related material. I've swam through msdn and seen a couple potentially good guides provided I already know what I'm doing with the materials but, as far as starting off without getting lost is there anything out there?
Well I guess I'll start....
This is a nice start into VS2010 Package Development and is pretty damn hefty and informative
This one talks about using Dynamic commands in UI Context and as it goes along it gets into modifying other menus in the IDE...
This is an one is for using MEF for noobs and hits a number of different areas including working with silverlight
This set is freakin gold. LearnVSXNow is a 44 (and counting) series of articles covering old and new stuff from MPF to MEF. A vertible treasure trove of Visual Studio Extensibility knowledge to pillage. YARR!
The Holy Grail of msdn refs for DTE Objects and the Stucture. Yes it says vs2003 but they are all made to be backwards compatible but words do not describe how helpful this has been
I've found Carlos Quintero's blog to be one of the best places for a huge variety of useful information on VS extendability:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/carlosq/
Also the MSDN page on VS extensibility is a good starting point: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/vstudio/vextend.aspx

I'm interested in learning more about HCI design decisions and practices, but I haven't been able to find any consistent source of articles on the subject: Many blogs have an article or two on the subject, then go off and talk about something else. I would stick to web design blogs, but videos like this one about Firefox 4 tab design provide evidence that there is a lot of interesting ground to cover in desktop application design. Anyone know where I should get started?
The web journal UXMatters recently listed the favorite blogs of various UX experts. For that matter UXMatters is an excellent resource for UX design.
The following sites frequently have articles giving concrete UX design guidance specifically applicable to the web:
A List Apart. Gets into the nuts and bolts of web design and development
Bokardo. Social design in web apps.
Boxes and Arrows. Another journal emphasizing IA.
Brain Sparks. Especially UIEtips articles.
Functioning Form. Especially for articles on web form design.
There's more on my blogroll under "usability," although those remaining sites (like my own) tend to lean towards general application UI design, rather than web site design specifically.
Perhaps user-interface design patterns will help. I find that sources are consistent and patterns well-documented.
A good number of resources can be found here: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/06/15/40-helpful-resources-on-user-interface-design-patterns/.
I would suggest looking at the following books. These are pretty much the standard for any one looking to get good information about HCI. You need to understand the core principles first.
The Design of Everyday things - Donald Norman
The inmates are running the asylum - Alan Cooper
The Humane interface - Jeff Raskin
How things work - Donald Norman
Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity - Jackob Nielsen
If you want to get more into the science of why:
Principles of cognitive psychology - Eysenck

I need to work on a Dynamics project in next 3 months with Pharmaceutical client. I have been working on .NET technologies from last couple of years. Now I am interestred in learning Microsoft Dynamics.
Please suggest how and where to start for the Dynamics Beginners...... your ideas/ any tutorial links / materials/ Books/ Traning/ And your experience?
Appreciate your time.
Thanks
I found the stuff from Sonoma Partners to be helpful when I worked with CRM. Their book Programming Microsoft Dynamics CRM was very helpful. Their blog is ok but not very developer focused - http://blog.sonomapartners.com/.
Other useful stuff I found:
Ronald Lemmon writes a good CRM blog here : http://ronaldlemmen.blogspot.com/
http://crm.georged.id.au/ - this is a great blog for code samples and real world problem solving
Hope this stuff helps.
I got the CRM4 book: Working with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Good and thick introductory book.
I have both the Working with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and Programming Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and both are excellent. I'd suggest getting both. The Working with title really helps understanding of how MS CRM works, the programing title helps with more advanced development tasks. Both are from Sonoma partners.
I've been using "Programming Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0" (Microsoft Press) and "CRM as a Rapid Development Platform" by David Yack.
The Programming book has been really good for helping me to come to grips with the SDK.
David yack's book has been a really good intro to the platform.
Both working with CRM and Programming with CRM are good books however, make sure you check your CRM version before buying these books as few new things (dynamic list being one of the most important one) have been added in 2011 version.
The book I like the most is step by step. It's much more practicle for me (others might differ) also get 30 day free trial of dynamic CRM from here to practice --> CRM.DYNAMICS.COM
I am in the same boat as you. Just started a job with CRM and have to learn it all in few weeks. Another good sourse is --> PluralSight/CRM. Again free trial, although they are so good I ended up with paid account.

What is the best online forum site about project management? It must cover PM-related news, articles, case studies and discussion boards.
Edit
How fast things change? I just heard about Cornelius Fichtner's new project: Project Managment Opinions. It has a section on resources. Already this newly launched site looks like a good meta site.
Previously on Stackoverflow....
I don't think there one site for what you want. The resources i use are:
Podcasts:
PM Podcast - very good. The latest episode on the PMI virtual communities will point you to further resources on SIGs in PMI and how they are changing.
PM Lessons Learned - messy site, but worth subscribing and listening to the most recent episodes (very good ones on risk and softskills)
Sites:
GanttHead - very busy site... i've never used anything from the site but there are a lot of links and forums i think.
Groups:
PMI - a great resource if you are a member. Also has PM news on it's homepage for everyone. Some of the work in SIGs sounds very interesting.
Your local PMI chapter - OK so this is my local chapter. Worthwhile investigating your own. I've had a very small involvement with mine and found them very approachable and useful.
In the earlier days, Joel's site had more of a project management lean.
Browse the archive here.
http://www.manager-tools.com
Someone pointed me to a podcast there once.. might be worth a look. Never been there too long.. got a more programmer bent of mind.
The Project Management Institute (pmi.org) may be a great place if you're looking for recognized, professional project management.
I would pimp my own - but I won't. I highly recommend checking out Ed Yourdon and Caper Jones sites:
http://www.yourdon.com/
http://www.spr.com/
Outside of that there's pmi.org, but they're mostly on the look out for selling pmp certification. There's also Agile Alliance
http://agilealliance.com/
Overall...not much good out there for PM's
