I have had an introduction into the world of LINQ today. I have been aware of LINQ for some time but today was the first day that I have had to use it to do some real world queries.

After posting this on the Smart Thread Pool (STP) I have created a small example on its usage in an ASP.Net MVC project. Using a wrapper class that implements the singleton pattern I now have a way to use the STP to share a queue across all of the sites users.

While I was searching for a example of an C# Background Queue for asynchronous long running tasks in asp.net. I found this framework for managing a thread pool.

I have created a list of resources for those of you that want to learn about the ASP.Net MVC framework. I have watched the Mix 09 videos and I will update this post once I have watched the other MVC related vids.

For a project that I am currently working on I have a requirement to use the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. I have had some difficulty finding resources explaining how to interact with the cloud via ASP.Net. I have tried two methods to get something basic up and running with success coming after a long night with the Red Bull.
