Windows 10 RTM Upgrade and Driver Update Issues



My Windows 10 update from the Insider Previews to RTM did not go smooth. I had a driver issue that apparently was not allowing me to upgrade and Windows 10 doesn't allow for hiding updates. Here's what went wrong and how I fixed it.

The Rise of JavaScript Frameworks - Part 1: Today



JavaScript frameworks have moved front and center in the mainstream in the last year and a half or so. When building modern Web applications, the bar has been raised significantly by what is possible in large part due to the more accessible mainstream frameworks that are available today to build rich client and mobile Web applications. In this post I'll explore why JavaScript frameworks have become so popular so quickly and how it effects the future of Web development. This two part series addresses the current state in this post, and the new crop of V2 frameworks arriving later this year in the Part 2.

Multiple Desktops in Windows



Windows 10 natively supports multiple desktops which provides great opportunity for reducing clutter while working and getting stuff done. In this post I show how the new Windows 10 multi-desktop features work and also show how you can use multiple desktops in previous versions of Windows.

Windows 10 Upgrade and IIS 503 Errors



After upgrading my machine to Windows 10 today I found that IIS, while working was throwing 503 Service Unavailable errors on every page. Turns out the issue is the Rewrite Module wasn't updated in the upgrade and that's causing a hard crash of the IIS module. Here's how to fix this issue.

External Links in Cordova for iOS



When building Cordova apps for iOS you need to be prepared to deal with external links that you might want to open outside of the WebView control. By default any 'external' links routed to an href target or window.open() call are still opened in the same WebView rather than externally in Safari or whatever the default browser is. This often is a problem since there's no way to navigate back to your initial content. In this post I describe the problem and how to use a plug-in to work around what should be native behavior in any WebView control.
