There is no doubt that JavaScript MVC / MVVM frameworks such as AngularJS provide better experiences for both developers and users alike. However, there are some caveats that we should be aware of when using this framework. Specifically, search engines might not be able to read the content in our applications if we are using the data binding features provided by these frameworks. In this post I will compare two scenarios: one using server-side data binding and one using client-side data binding and talk about their SEO implications.

Whenever we start with a new ASP.NET MVC project, the tendency is to use one of the templates offered by Visual Studio. The template goes a long way in getting us started with our project.

It is useful when there is a need for multiple mappings, such mappings from persistence model classes to domain model classes or mapping from domain model classes to viewmodels. In this post we are going to look at how to use AutoMapper with Entity Framework for projections.
