Just a Thought with Asp.net MVC and Portability

        Since the release of Vnext this idea has become less of a concern for me but a majority of my "professional" projects have been in MVC and with Vnext offering larger amount of support this article doesn't really reflect any of my current solutions. Instead it is just a thought on allowing me to continue with the frameworks that I currently use in my career with frameworks that are available to me in my personal projects. 
     It is very important to me, to create fast, low cost, and high processing application. As I like build with large number of tools in order to increase my productivity since I have less time at home. Working in familiar frameworks between work and home isn't a must but just something I think that works in my favor. If all else fails, I can just pick things up. I go along. Plus there's always the bonus of my javascript skills.
     My original thoughts for this approach show below was to move all my controllers into an angular project and keep the views the same, using the frameworks following to complete it. However I've been playing around a little too much with all different javascript frameworks out there but this is where I left on my theory. At the end of the date, as long as my database schema, and front-end matchup I can be happy to recreate the middle points. Which is strange cause I like doing the front-end but once you get that UI just perfect you don't want to break the approach but instead improve it.

Asp.net MVC+Jquery+Razor (Currently)
vs.
Vash+Mono+NodeJs+Angular?
or
Mono+Vnext+Angular
or
Vash+Angular+Express+NodeJS? (extreme!)
     One of the thing that is very important about all of this is unit testing. In Asp.net MVC normally doesn't test the front-end code, and therefore is useless for testing front-end issues but with Vash, you might be able to leverage the library with an API. Still do middle-tier unit tests but have your javascript aware of what's going on in the page and leverage the Razor syntax all in a separate unit test for front-end logic. This kind of approach doesn't appear to exist in the Asp.net MVC universe but does in projects like Nodejs and Express.

Mongodb Cheatsheet

This cheat sheet is based on the latest version of mongodb, which initial had setup and didn't encounter any problems. However that all changed when I was working remote and forgot I disabled the port no my network, rather than with the server. So I went pointing around where I didn't need to and ended up messing things up. The Best tutorial out there is of course on digital ocean for my setup on ubuntu 16.04 , this articles isn't so much about getting setup. I just wanted to include it because I found myself looking back at it to see if I missed a step. Bugs/Problems Now comes all the messed up things I found and had to deal with. firewall - Port seems to be open, but connection refused try using 0.0.0.0 in the bin_ip for the /etc/mongo.conf try sudo ufw disable and check to see if it works without the firewall (probably still wont but worth a shot), then just sudo ufw enable. Make sure port 27017 is open. Then check this  linux - Connection refused to MongoDB e...

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532

Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article. -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!    So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.  Problems getting into Developer Mode?   Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loo...
