I have an application that is using an ASP.NET MVC project and controllers that is an envelope to an Angular-based SPA hosted inside of that project. Previous developers implemented SASS port of Bootstrap 3.3.0 and I need to get it up to 3.3.7. Most documentation on the Official Port of Bootstrap 2/3 is catering to ruby/npm implementations. How does one keep up on updates effectively in a Visual Studio world or should I simply update it externally using rake, ruby, npm, etc? Any guides or assistance is welcome. Thanks in advance.
After more research it looks like rake and the instructions found on the twbs readme may be sufficient from a command line standpoint but if anyone has further thoughts feel free to add.

Also have found a Nuget package that may provide better support than the handrolled version in place in the project now. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Twitter.Bootstrap.Sass/

Apparently, the ExtJS' forum isn't working anymore, so asking the question here.
I am trying to upgrade ExtJS integrated in a big application. Currently, it's using version 3.4.1 and I have to upgrade it to 7.5.0, so a lot of changes are expected. It's my first time working with ExtJS. I've been reading their documentation & examples for a while now, but I'm having issues understanding some things.
If someone's experienced with ExtJS, could you tell how big is the difference between these versions? What kind of effort is expected for this upgrade? Will I have to rewrite everything, or just changing files and API calls would be enough?
Another thing is that the folder structure in the new version looks quite different from the older version. Ours using 3.4.1 looks like this -
ext-js 3.4.1 image
There are no new adapter or resources folders in the new verion. Are these folders not required anymore, or is it possible to get the same folder structure with the new version?
Is it possible to download older versions of ExtJS like 4.x, 5.x etc.? I tried but couldn't find it, I was able to download the older documentation though.
Downloaded the latest ExtJS version from here.
Referring this Sencha ExtJS documentation.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Download
You should download the version from support.sencha.com. There you can find all versions.
To access the download page, you need to log in. If you have lost your login, you can contact Sencha's licensing department.
Make sure you have a valid license.
Upgrade
If you are new to Sencha, you should not do the work yourself. Between version 3 and 7, there are at least two new coding paradigms and you'll have to rewrite everything. Unfortunately, there is no easy upgrade process from 3 to 7. If you had to upgrade from 5 to 7, it would be possible to ignore all the cool new features, but if you are starting from 3, you will have to rewrite everything.
Building process
In your screenshot, I can see that you are using the full ExtJS file. But are you really building the application? That means you end up with a single js file and a single css file.
Are you building your application?
Are you using SCSS?
You should definitely contact someone with experience. I've done quite a few upgrades in ExtJS to know that you need help with this.
In my Silverlight solution I have a edsv project and a edsv.web project. If I make edsv the startup project it works ok. If I make edsv.web the startup project, it executes a much earlier version of the code.
The setup project need to use the .web project, right? So my install kit reflects the wrong code. How do I get the projects in sync?
I got the solution in another forum, please see http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/silverlight/en-US/8293acb7-a2dc-4c04-92f7-150830cc355a/how-to-sync-the-silverlight-and-web-project

Is there any way to integrate version control system for Apex & Visualforce code? I can thinking of keeping a separate repository but no way to have it integrated with Salesforce Platform.
Thanks in Advance.
You can do this by using Subversion and the Force.com Eclipse IDE with the Subclipse plugin.
Here are a few links to some instructions.
Setting up Subversion (Windows)
Installing Force.com IDE (Eclipse)
Installing Subclipse (Eclipse plugin)
Use the update site when installing in Eclipse - similar to the instructions here
If instead of using Subversion, you wish to use Git (lots of the community code is hosted on GitHub where you can get it for free) then have a look at this Dreamforce session and some hints and tips about how best to use Git and Force.com together here.
I started working on Ext JS, but the building process has always been a headache to me as I always used notepad..
Can you suggest some tools which help me build the Ext JS applications easily....
Initial GUI Setup (if you're feeling lazy!)
Ext Designer
IDE for further development
Aptana Studio or CodeRun (online) or eCoder (online)
Bug testing during development
Firebug
Debugging the final layer of polish
YSlow for Firebug
I'm usually a fan of Eclipse, but Check out PHPStorm, it has better colouring, works well with libraries and does refactoring.
Try Aptana Studio + Firebug. Plus a handset of each type you intend to code for.
Also, see this link for an answer to a similar question:
"Debugging" ExtJS script
TextMate? It's really a matter of personal preference.
I recommend Textpad - I've been using it for 12 years now.
Spket IDE is powerful toolkit for working with JavaScript Framework like extjs.
You can also use Eclipse and Spket plugin for developing better javascript code. Visist http://www.spket.com/ for more details.
i want to build a website in dnn 5. i have studied dnn5, its installation, starter-kit installation, built-in modules (both of Host and Admin), installing a custom module (from module extension), creating packages.
I had rather still some doubts left in my mind.
1.How should i progress if i need to built my custom module in some new website (& not in dotnetnuke.com website)
2.How is deployment done at client side? Is it done by creating packages or what, i dont know.please suggest some possible solution
3.I want to create a document module to satisfy my client requirements. This module is already built by dotnetnuke.com as an extra module. What should be done to include this module in my new website so that only my requirements could be reflected instead of creating the module entirely from scratch?
thanks
I'm not entirely sure about what you're looking to do, but I'll answer as much as I can.
I would suggest setting up a DotNetNuke website on your local machine, using the Source package. You can then create a new module (starting it either through the website itself, or by using a Visual Studio template). I strongly suggest using a Web Application Project for the module, keeping it in the website's DesktopModules folder (so that you're only dealing with the module's code, and don't have the entire website open in your project). Also, make sure you use the module and any other extension points to implement your functionality, rather than making changes to the actual DNN core code (since any changes to the core will make it that much more difficult to upgrade to newer versions of DNN).
I strongly suggest getting some automated packaging in place (the template that I linked to has a NAnt build script with it that you can use to package your module). It is so much easier to deploy modules as installable packages than trying to migrate individual files.
You can get the source version of the Documents module from its Codeplex project. It's licensed under the MIT license (like DNN itself), so you're free to use it as a starting point for your own module. Just download the source package and install it into your development site. The install will include all of the source and also includes a Visual Studio project that you can use. After installing, I would suggest that your first step be to rename the namespace (so that you're differentiated from the core module).
UPDATE
To deploy the website, I would suggest installing DNN on the server using the main DNN Install package. Then, once that is installed, you can install the module into the website using the package that you have created. A default installation of DNN will only have the Text/HTML module, in addition to administrative modules, so you shouldn't have very many extra, unused functionality present in the site.
Leave me a comment & update your question (or start a new question) if there's anything else you need to know.
It sounds like you are looking to use DotNetNuke as a development environment to write code that won't be deployed in a DotNetNuke site. While I love DNN, there's absolutely no reason to do this. Only use DNN for developing DNN stuff.
To address point #1, if the functionality you want is somewhere else you could use an IFRAME module. Check out: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Extensions-Forge/view/ProjectDetail/project/dnniframe.aspx
