Web Application Toolkits: FAQ

James Senior — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:05:00 GMT

The majority of Web sites have the need to display a list of frequently asked questions to their users. Although it's not difficult to create a simple set of FAQ pages, creating a great user experience that supports searching for FAQs, filtering, and paging, can become more difficult. Furthermore, this is often common functionality that has to be implemented repeatedly in multiple Web sites.

The goal for this Web Application Toolkit is to provide a reusable set of assets, like ASP.NET pages, data access code, and database schemas, for integrating Frequently Asked Questions into your own Web application. The FAQ pages of this Toolkit include the following features:

Browse and view FAQs organized by topics
An interactive user experience using jQuery and ASP.NET AJAX
Search for FAQs by keywords
Access FAQs through friendly URLs (for example /Faq/bidding-and-buying/how-do-i-buy-an-item)
FAQs Ratings

K. Scott Allen has written an article on Guiding Principles For Your ASP.NET MVC Applications. This knowledge has been floating around a bit in pieces, but he does a nice job of wrapping it all up in a concise way. I especially enjoyed the Oxite reference.

Phil Haack - ASP.NET, MVC, and Ninjas On Fire

Robert Hess — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:28:00 GMT

Phil Haack had a session at MIX09 who's name caught my eye: "ASP.NET MVC Ninjas on Fire Black Belt Tips", which I suppose was part of the intent.

I asked Phil to drop by and share with us some of the details about what MVC is, how it can help you develop websites.

After watching this brief glimpse (sans ninjas) you might want to check out his full session from MIX09:

Scott Hanselman - NerdDinner.com

Robert Hess — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 23:39:00 GMT

Scott Hanselman did an interesting session at MIX09 called "File|New -> Company", where he essentially started with a blank screen, and using Visual Studio, ASP.NET, Ajax, and Model View Controller he created an entire website called "NerdDinner.com", which is a social networking sites for... well... nerds, to allow them to coordinate with their friends what restaurants to go to and what to eat.

While we didn't have time in this episode to let Scott repeat this feat, we did get a chance to talk with him about how the various technologies he utilized worked with the tools in order to make it possible.

If you really want to see him take on this challenge, you can watch his session from MIX09:
